YouTube Clip Of The Day
9:37AM Jess McGuire | Ahh, it’s great to return to a world of ridiculous and pointless YouTube clips. As Janet Jackson once sang*, “You don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone” etc… So let us get straight to the Wednesday edition of YouTube Clip Of The Day, eh? Today’s “piece” comes courtesy of Red Symons, who has created a slightly surreal and confusing (but we laughed uproariously regardless) clip featuring John Howard and Kevin Rudd. According to a YouTube viewer, the translation goes as follows. “Howard”: You and your Chinese friends present have many, many friends in Australia. Rudd: My wife and I especially like Beijing. “Howard”: You and your Chinese friends present have many, many friends in Australia. Rudd: In the 1980’s, my wife and I – together with our young daughter – went to work in Beijing. “Howard”: You and your Chinese friends present have many, many friends in Australia. Many many friends. Many many friends. Rudd: We especially like Beijing’s atmosphere, people, and culture. We briefly interviewed Red Symons about this groundbreaking work this morning. DEFAMER AUSTRALIA: Red – have you been huffing bongs? RED SYMONS: Not for a long time. DEFAMER AUSTRALIA: Uh-huh. RED SYMONS: But they do say it takes about thirty or forty years to get out of your system. DEFAMER AUSTRALIA: Fair enough. *Chillax, pedants. We realise it’s actually Joni Mitchell. More »
Beyonce Breast Debacle – We Get An Experts Opinion
3:32PM Jess McGuire | The world (well, Brisbane at the very least – this article’s been the most read on the Brisbane Times’ site all day – and to us, Brisbane is the world) has been all a-flutter with new YouTube footage of Beyonce Knowles’ shirt coming undone during one of her inimitable on stage furious thrashing about sessions (also alleged to be “dancing”) during a live concert.
The footage seems kind of grainy to us, so we turned to well known entertainer Red Symons for an expert opinion. His verdict? She is wearing a nakie-coloured body suit. He informed us of this and then minced away in the minciest manner you could imagine, and we were so transfixed by his catlike slinky style that we completely forgot to question him any further about it. Whatever.
In conclusion – Defamer Australia is assuming there was no actual tittage exposed, but we find it enjoyably pervy footage nonetheless.

2:21PM Jess McGuire | Turns out Defamer Australia had an operative working at the TV Week Logie Awards, gathering secret footage via the magic of a mobile phone video recorder, AND WE DIDN’T EVEN REALISE.
Well, to be fair, we never asked Red Symons to collect such blurry nuggets of behind-the-scenes gold for us, but thank god he did. Well done, sir.
Featuring cameo appearances from Larry Emdur, Grant Denyer, Jennifer Hawkins, and Kate Ceberano’s cans, we couldn’t be more pleased with the clip, as it shows us – in a total Being John Malkovich sort of way – just what it’s like to experience the wonder of the TV Week Logie Awards from the perspective of a guest.
