Attention Queensland – Thank You For Your Prompt Response

12:46PM Jess McGuire | I should start writing open letters to assorted States and Territories more often, as I managed to get an answer to today’s earlier enquiry astoundingly quickly! Regular viewers will recall that I demanded answers as to why an 18 month old report on Jennifer Aniston’s then blossoming relationship with a British model/bricklayer had suddenly rocketed to the top of the Courier Mail website’s Most Popular Articles list. Much thanks and appreciation to John Grey, editor at couriermail.com.au, who promptly offered up a satisfying response in the comments of the post. Says John: I might be able to offer a clue. We are getting traffic to that story from search.live.com image searches for Mr Sculfor. For some reason, when they get to the search results page, people want to click on the image of this semi-naked young man. I doubt they’re all Queenslanders. Ha! Well, that clears that up. Well done, everybody. Thank you John, and Queenslanders may resume their interweb surfing without fear of Defamer Australia questioning your actions. We’ll put this one down to a flash mob of The Gays seeking hot photos of a nearly naked male model, I reckon. Or maybe news that Paul Sculfor is moving in with Cameron Diaz has inspired the image search frenzy. Whatever. (resumes Googling nudie pics of assorted celebrity boyfriends) PS: To commenter Chris McCulloch – if you are a male who loves Ladyhawke and Alphabeat, you are probably one of the aforementioned Gays. Which doesn’t bother me in the slightest, please forward relevant contact details to my “people”. More »

9:39AM Jess McGuire | I don’t really need to think about crocodiles much as I go about my day. There’s very little chance of me running into one on the way to the tram stop, and I am blessed enough to be able to leave my front door open all night long with no fear of a giant saltwater beast swaggering inside and eating me and/or my dog. But I’m one of the lucky ones in this great big country of ours. For some people in Queensland, crocs are constantly on their mind. They’re something that must be dealt with on a daily basis, and letting ones guard down for even a moment could have disastrous consequences. Naturally, the Queensland Government have many thoughts on crocodiles too, and at the moment the main concern is the fact they’re eating people and coughing bits up. Or having foreign things discovered inside them. Or something. Either way, it’s not good! The Queensland Opposition has called for an inquiry into the government’s crocodile management policy, after anonymous claims it has led to the deaths of two men. More »
