changelingMY COMPUTER IS WORKING AGAIN!!!
You don't understand how much this means to me, but I'm a junkie with a fix now. *curls up in a happy ball*
I've just started reading the backlog from my friends page, and mistook someone for Saxon. In my defence, they have a similar enough username. I read this: " Heading to BiCon. Annoyed that the same weekend hosts both InFest and the first international women's BDSM conference, thus depleting the amount of kinky women and cybertypes at BiCon." and was immensely disturbed. For those of you who know Saxon will join me in my disturbance, I think. And welcome to
NotFudge, the newest of these unfortunates.
"Isn't that a fetish thing?" people ask McNeill when she tells them she wears a corset. "A lot of people can't accept the idea of a normal person wearing a corset."

For non-Aussies, the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation), also known affectionately as "Aunty" is the main non-commercial, government-funded television station (the ABC also runs a few radio statioins, including my favourite, Triple J). It has been constantly accused of left-wing bias (a minor irony, considering our gov't, but then it's pretty independant). As Rod Quantock (comedian and activist) once said, "The ABC couldn't balance the right-wing bias in the rest of the media if it was run by Marx and Lenin!"
In response, the Howard Government has drastically reduced the ABC's budget. Tripod was set the gruelling challenge of writing a song-in-an-hour about this, commemorating the kids' news show Behind The News, and the drastic cuts to Foreign Correspondant's budget by combining the two.
Every kids show I've ever seen talks down to kids
Except perhaps Pugwall
And Pugwall's Summer
So in keeping with that methodology
We won't use any complex words like methodology
Or plankton.
So listen up kids, to Uncle Tripod
Let us talk about your Aunty
'Cause Aunty has to go away for awhile
You see Aunty's been naughty
She's a little unbalanced
'Cause they say her right wing's broken
And she's going 'round in circles
Yeah, she's going 'round in circles
So kids we'll try to fill you in on world events
But we're going to have to fudge it
'Cause they cut our budget.
But based on what we see on commercial telly
Foreigners are evil and Alias is back on
Apparently Lisa McCune is working on something or other
And Alex is back on Secret Life of Us
And without Foreign Correspondent
We're going to have to trust the government
And they say the war is over
Yeah, they say the war is over
But not the war on terror
Or the war on dodgy plumbers
Or the war on insurance fraud
Or the war on lazy unemployed
Or the war on obesity
Or the war on refugees
Or the war on the ABC
'Cause Aunty's been naughty
And they're going to cut her brain out...
Today's news is all good
Gee, the government are doing good job, aren't they?
Yes, I think they are. Well, don't you?
I mean, it's a job, isn't it?
Friends=skip 150. Fuckit. I'm going to bed. I feel really sick. Didja miss me?
