GOATBOY WELCOMES THE OLYMPIC TORCH TO AUSTRALIA

Wednesday, 23rd April 2008

Well - it’s only running in Canberra - a place so boring that Chinese & Australian authorities are probably hoping that everyone falls asleep on their way to protest the brutal Chinese human rights abuses in Tibet.

MAN ADMITS TRYING TO HAVE WAY WITH GOAT

Friday, 18th April 2008

A Kiwi man has admitted trying to have sex with a goat - but didn’t think he’d get busted because “animals couldn’t talk”.

The North Canterbury 68-year old, who managed to get his name repressed, told Rangiora District Court he took the goat to the back of his tiny farm and tried to have his way with it.

The court heard it didn’t go well - so he did up his trousers, patted the goat and walked off.

“He was contrite, but said he was unable to stop the behaviour,” a police spokeswoman said.

The man pleaded guilty to  attempting to commit bestiality with a goat. He was convicted and will be sentenced on March 12th.

SHOCK HORROR!

“CRAPPY, CRASS & STUPID” We love The Daily Terror.
‘Diana’s dead - so get over it’

ONE warns that police are “targeting fat chicks”, another urges people to “get over” the death of Princess Diana.

A provocative new range of T-shirts, created by Sydney-based businessmen Peter Legras and Adam Hunt, have been on sale for just a week but already they are being described as “rude and revolting” by critics.

The clothing, available through the website goatboy.com.au, has met with a different response online though, with the site being featured by a number of international bloggers.

Mr Hunt, a former advertising executive, said the shirts, bearing 14 different designs or logos, retailed for $49 and $59.

The controversial nature of the slogans is addressed in a disclaimer on the site, which reads: “If anyone gets offended by our designs, we’d like to humbly point out that you’re wasting your righteous indignation on a bloody T-shirt, when you should save it for something that actually matters.”

But Eva Cox from the Women’s Electoral Lobby said the T-shirts’ content spoke for itself. She said: “They’re tasteless, crappy, crass and stupid and if people want to be seen as tasteless, crappy, crass and stupid, they’ll wear the shirts.

“It’s vulgar and nasty and encourages people to be rude and revolting. Who the hell wants to wear T-shirts like that?”

The Diana T-shirt, which has been superimposed on to the bodies of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip in advertising on the site, was also criticised by monarchist Professor David Flint.

“It’s a pity we breach society’s standards just to get a sale. It’s not right to be cruel to people who obviously can’t defend themselves,” he said.

Young Media Australia president Jane Roberts said goatboy’s decision to get on the front foot with a disclaimer was “clever but questionable”.

“They’re getting a bit righteous themselves by telling others to look at the big picture. They’re putting messages out there that are deliberately provocative and intended to shock, to make a buck,” she said.

But Mr Hunt said he and Mr Legras had plans to expand into children’s clothing. Not all T-shirts were intended to create controversy, he added. “I’m trying to think of a papal one for World Youth Day. That’s a pretty scary thing.”
