YouTube Clip Of The Day
12:47PM Jess McGuire | It’s been a while since we talked about Rose Hancock Porteous around these parts, so let’s remedy that by making her the subject of our Clip Of The Day.
Here is Rose getting furiously screechy at a staff member who failed to deliver her a bag for her “goodies” in a timely manner.
That poor dude looks like he should be out getting wasted during Schoolies, not meeting the bag needs of Rose Porteous.

AFL Hero Ron Barassi Bashed In St Kilda
11:07AM Jess McGuire | Footy legend Ron Barassi is recovering from injuries he sustained after getting into fisticuffs with a drunk fellow who’d been beating on his ladyfriend.
Says The Age:
AFL legend Ron Barassi was smashed to the ground and kicked in the head while he lay in the gutter after he went to the aid of a woman being bashed in St Kilda, early on New Year’s Day. Barassi, 72, was nursing bruised ribs, lumps on his head and a graze to the front of it, but had no regrets.

New Flight Of The Conchords!
10:20AM Jess McGuire | Were you one of the many Flight Of The Conchord fans from the Antipodes who felt incredibly surly when you discovered that unlike folk from North America, you weren’t actually allowed to watch the new series online?
Clip website Funny Or Die explained the situation by saying:
We all want the WHOLE world to be able to watch Flight of the Conchords, but to be honest, legally we only have rights to stream the video in the US.
But whatever. I don’t want excuses – I want to see footage! Sexy photos of the lads can only sate me for so long…
Well, after the jump we can all happily check out the first episode of Series Two thanks to someone on YouTube. Quick! Before the Americans wake up and get cranky about breaches of copyright*! More »
