Insert hilarious 'ah-so'-style racism here.
The nation shows its true colours.
If you know me well (and I'm hoping we're getting closer day by day in a fashion that is both friendly and full of sexual promise), you'd know that I don't particularly like Melbourne Lord Mayor John So all that much. In fact, I fucking hate him. He is a cunning fucktard who refused to meet the Dalai Lama and is totally running business for Chinese government interests. Oh, and also his restaurant is unsavoury. And I hear he rides a girls' bike. Whatevs.
But I get all kinds of stirred up when I hear that mayoral candidate Peter Sheppard is starting some bullshit about So being unable to speak English properly and no-one seems to mind . If this isn't inherent racism about chinkys sucking at talking good, then I don't know what is. Channel ten fucking news even ran a poll about whether John So's accent was 'an embarrassment'. Then Sandra Sully made slitty eyes and threw in a few jokes about eating dogs. It was so ripely humorous.
You dumb fuckers. This is why Howard got in again. Because deep in their hearts, the people of Australia are scared of the foreigners. It's heartbreaking.
23 days til Gabi comes home.
1083 days til the next election.

This has been bugging me for some time and it's obviously come to a head while my back was turned. I had a stand-up shouting match with My Man about the same topic when he mentioned offhand that he thought John So "can't even speak bloody English".
Who cares?! Neither can most anglo Australians; how many apparently well-educated people do you know who frequently commit the crimes of "shouldn't of", "it's over their" etc, etc, ETC?! At least John So can construct a sentence! It's the old "THEY can't drive because THEY'RE so used to riding rickshaws" move, "gentle ribbing" disguising rampant xenophobia. Grr.
god, did Sandra Sully really do slit eyes and make a dog joke? fuck me! well, i guess she might as well have if she didn't.
see how things have got in this country - i can't tell if that's one of your add-ons or it really happened.
or maybe i'm just gullible.
Clem, your boyfriend is a KKK bitch and must be stopped at all costs. Leave him and run away with me to a lesbian DJ island.
The Island's name is Ibiza.
Others disagree with you and would say that Howard is in fact a fucking cuntard. He's like Bush and Cheney in one package. Christ on a bike! See I'm learning Aussie Slang.
"he rides a girl's bike." that was funny.
My bloke got a back massage from John So about 2 weeks ago out the front of St. Jerome. I kid you not!
What was the Lord Mayor doing at New Bebelon? Does he have a stall giving out mystical oriental massages?
Back on topic, hopefully the lack of outrage is based on the fact that Peter Sheppard is clearly full of shit and hasn't got a hope in hell of successfully challenging. The guy's a racist arsehole who wants to be honcho of this, our beautiful, multicultural city. Fat chance.
Okay, Ms Fits, so long as I can bring a stereo that plays 'Everybody Wang Chung Tonight'.
I'm afraid that I am not sufficiently familiar with Mayor So such that I could justify disliking him as you do, Ms F. Nor can I ever recall having heard him speak. I was, however, surprised to read the news stories about Sheppard's criticisms. Probably for the same reason that you were. It just looked very strange in this day and age to have someone criticising another person for their accent.
I mean, is that the biggest criticism that this bloke can make? Personally I think he should have gone with the puppet of the Communist Chinese Government line.
After all, if the worst thing you can say about John So is that his accent's a bit thick then I, for one, say re-elect So. I don't want to hear what elected officials have to say anyway.
Where we differ, however, is that whilst you say, "The nation shows its true colours", I prefer to lay the blame for this misjudged episode squarely at the feet of Mr. Sheppard. After all, I am one of "the nation" and do not wish to be tarred with the same brush as the obviously dim-witted Mr. Sheppard.
Tillops, John So was, in the manner that Ms Fits previously reported, partaking in some shady dealings out the front of the pillow store next door to St. Jerome. My bloke came out side and said “Hey John So, what are you doing here?” John then started rubbing his back all sexy like and said to my bloke “Oh, my friend. Nice to see you again, my friend, my friend.” My bloke has never met Mr So before so he was suitably freaked and turned on at the same time by this interaction. This is a true story.
It is also alleged, that John So rode out of Caledonian Lane after being busted by bloke on a pink bicycle with rainbow ribbons streaming from the handle bars.
i just visited Minty Twat's blog for the first tim eand it's really right-wing and boring.
what are you doing here, minty twat? and can you send me a PriceWaterhouseCoopers mug for my collection?
There's a half-hour of your life you won't be getting back in a hurry, Mallrat.
I suspect that Minty Twat is trying to write especially like a minty twat for our anti-minty, non-twattish amusement.
I hope.
Oh my god - have you sen andrew bolt's latest column - it's on the john butler trio --- it's a fucking ripper!!!! http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,11140894%255E25717,00.html
"Thank heavens his music at least sounds nice. But as they say, the Devil always did have the best tunes."
twat
not even minty
You wonder what I am doing here?
I just felt that you had reached a sort of left wing ass kissing plateau and needed a voice of dissent.
Oh do fuck off, Twat.
Ooh... I guess dissent is not to be tolerated.
Left wing rectum tastes nicer than right wing rectum. Everybody knows that!
I don't think dissent is the problem, I think it's idiocy.
That said, I still found you mildly amusing (simply due to how you'd embraced Minty Twat as a name) but I was disappointed to see you actually began posting in your blog because it was all a bit weak really :( And not just because it's from a conservative perspective! I know I know, pot - kettle - black, and I'm hardly the Margaret Pomeranz of blogs (perhaps I should be?) but you should have maintained the mystery for a little while longer.
Jess,
My blog reflects who I am.
And frankly I posted on my blog, not to impress any of you, but because I thought it might be fun and a challenge. The fact that you and Mallrat do not find what I write interesting is, of course, disappointing but it is not surprising. After all I got a fairly good idea of what your attitudes were early on. I knew my politics would not be popular.
I must say, however, I am rather surprised at the somewhat bitter nature of some of the comments. I wonder if some people on this blog (and I wont name names) take themselves just a tiny bit too seriously.
I try to be an antidote to that.
If I succeed - good. If not I am sure you will let me know.
Ahh well, we can't all float each others boats etc
I just assumed that you were writing in an overly conservative-ish manner deliberately in the same sense that you named yourself Minty Twat - with a twinkle in your right wing eye. My apologies if I insulted you by assuming your writing was satirical.
I like to think I'm not too bitter - to be honest, I have bigger things to be bitter about, like Joe Hockey and Howard and (insert lefty cause here) not to mention my ongoing repulsion\fascination with Harold Bishop's sex life. WHAT ABOUT MADGE, HAROLD?! WHAT ABOUT MADGE?!
xxx
Jess,
The "bitter" comment was not directed at you.
And I do now wish that I had maintained the mystery a bit longer. I have always wanted to be a bit mysterious. Never quite able to pull it off.
Had to look up "Harold Bishop" on Google.
He's a fine looking man.
Whaddup Minties! I can tell you and I would get along because I open comments with CRAZY words like "Whaddup" i'm hip you know?
Anyhoo...I find it quite ironic that your blog is coloured GREEN. Perhaps you are letting your true colours come through?
Peace.
Frankly, I'm shocked.
Everything in life is MEANT to be directed at me! Curses!
As for not knowing who Harold Bishop is... well, Liberal voting I can handle* but not knowing Harold Bishop? I AM starting to get bitter now!
*Actually, I cannot really handle this. Or fathom it. But I am a filthy pot smoking lesbian tree hugger so that is to be expected.
Tugging it back So side...
Peter Sheppard, who is a fucking shoe salesman, apparently can't tell the difference between someone not knowing a language well and speaking that language fluently but with a strong accent. This suggests that he doesn't make the effort to actually listen to what is being said by someone who has lived in Australia for fourty years and who is mayor. Which means he isn't doing his own job as a councillor!
The Australian Retailers Association has a picture of a Chinky on their website, which could mean some of their members won't take kindly to their president's preferred cheapshots. Did you notice he seems to have a problem withSwahili speaking nignogs as well?
A Peter Sheppard's Shoes boycott (or a time-friendly window bricking) is in order, methinks.
I would like to retract my previous "window bricking" suggestion and also apologise for the excessive earnestness of the comment overall. I just can't abide racism or its cynical exploiter, who - typically - are all pasty round-eye cunts.
Never reneg on a good bricking, Fudd.
Merely a legal disclaimer, Fits.
I've just wasted 10 minutes at Minty Twat's blog. Boring cunt.
that's ok, Ms Fits, it was only half an hour I would've spent reading Andrew Bolt.
and yes, Minty (may I can you Minty? it seems to be far more intimate than plain twat)i am soo fucking bitter and twisted and take myself incredibly fucking seriously, so watch out!
i will find out where you live and dump five shopping trolleys in the dead of night on your nature strip and then jamie durie's water feature and Odysseus's wife and I will wheel them up and down and wake you up and call you anonymously to play Bob Brown heavy breathing on an endless loop and not let up until you achieve multiple orgasms.
*Stands and applauds*
Well I must say that for someone alleged to be so boring at least I appear to have made an impression.
That Bolt article really is crazy. Did you ever read his article where he made up this story about some 'muslim' student whipping it out at the mention of that peadophile woman? Truly insane, that man should be locked up.
Minty Twat, like a cushion, always bears the impression of the last right-wing columnist who sat on him.
bookbookcheepcheep you can come along as well after that last comment. that's a ripper!
do you think twat is a pouffe or a bolster?
Poor twat. he's getting quite a serve. this is probably the last straw after years of being bullied at school. who knows what he'll do next?
BTW Ms Fits: I've just worked out that you can delete individual comments by other people: when you're signed in you'll see a little clickable rubbish bin next to the time at the bottom of everyone's comments. Trash away!
That's only if you want to...
Sorry, why do we hate Minty Twat?
I had a look at his blog. A bit dull. Totally wrong about the victory of self-interest being nothing to cry about. I figure he'd probably have a similar opinion about mine. But still...
Did he say anything offensive around here? I don't get it.
I'm just seeing a big, fat, anti-twat, flog-fest.
What gives?
Minty Twat: "...I appear to have made an impression..."
Yes...a boring cunt who's made an impression - as a boring cunt. Which should match Andrew Bolt's indenting arse. Get it? Huh? huh? Fuck it. I work better with bricks.
Actually (as a last ditch attempt to get people to read my brilliantly scathing open letter to Andrew Bolt from 6 months ago) check out how hysterically irrational The Dutch Oven gets in response to my suggestion that he panders to racists, by going here.
Twat, you're an assclown.
FUCK OFF!
And, seriously, you're a fucking boring wanker.
It's all just so irritating and un-entertaining.
Quick Ms Fits, post another blog so we can talk about something else.
Like how you don't have a sex drive, you have a sex highway!
Tillops: "Why do we hate Minty Twat?"
Twatmint frolicked into our purview the day after the election to turn our frowns upside down with the news that HE liked the idea of our country being ruled for 3 more years by social-emotional gnomes. He was told to fuck off, as rudely as could be managed, but fucked voluminous instead, at a time when Ms Fits and others were genuinely and clearly upset about this country's future.
He is a most deserving TWAT.
Oh, okay. I get it now.
Day after election, right-wing gloating, just won't fucking fuck off.
Flog on, dear comrades. Flog on.
