9:13AM Clem Bastow | We should preface this piece by making it clear we support the Melbourne cabbies’ protest and think that taxi drivers really get a bum deal these days (excluding the ones who actually don’t know where anything is/have the heater on 43 degrees and windows up/smell like Don Skinless Franks).
However, we couldn’t help but laugh in a somewhat bemused fashion at the following highlights from this morning’s
reportage of the cabbie strike in Melbourne’s CBD. We’ve underlined the best bits, just in case you miss them in your first scan:
Taxi drivers blockading a major intersection in Melbourne’s CBD have started to remove their clothing and have released their demands, saying they will not move until authorities meet with them.
Several hundred drivers are sitting and standing in a circle around the intersection of Flinders and Swanston Streets in central Melbourne, holding up placards and protesting against violence and abuse of taxi drivers.
The protest started yesterday evening and has continued overnight. One of the organisers, Indian-born taxi driver Jazz Randyboy, said the protest had been peaceful.
We bet it’s been peaceful, Mr Randyboy – and sexual.
Seriously, is this a hack? Why are they stripping? Are they protesting by unleashing such a torrent of taxi-bound sensuality that the CBD grinds to an orgasmic halt, thereby greatly reducing productivity and sending the economy into a tailspin?
For god’s sake someone tell us what is going on!
UPDATE!!
Are you ready for this jelly?
The Age has a photo of the bare-chested cabbies’ protest. Over the jump for all the righteous sexy you can handle!
