This time we've ruled out human error - Australians are<br />clearly dickheads".<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br />The damning 56-page report tables the impressive dickhead-esque behaviour of Australians of voting age, citing letters to newspapers<br />and pub conversations as evidence to support the dickhead charge.<br /><br />Prime Minister John Howard said he was humbled by the UN report, claiming that his government would be representing all dickheads.<br />"This is a big win for Australia and a big win for dickheads," declared the prime minister, who in the lead up to the election had<br />promised billions of dollars to support dickheads from a wide range of backgrounds. Dickheads with fast money, dickheads with<br />chainsaws, dickheads with health insurance, racist dickheads, dickheads in private schools, and good old ordinary Australian dickheads<br />will be among those benefiting from the government's largesse.<br /><br />Critics of the report have demanded that those Australians who abstained from voting, or who cast their vote in favour of the<br />opposition, should be reclassified as 'Provisional Dickheads'. But in the face of limited public disapproval, the official UN position<br />has remained steadfast: "Let's call a spade a spade, and a dickhead a dickhead".<br /><br /> Brought to you by the Perth Independant Media Collective: perth.indymedia.org. http://users.livejournal.com/_plainsong_/4530.html At The Drive-In: Quarantined.
