This from today's paper, and most pleasing to a girl who accidentally drank an espresso martini right before bed and has thusly barely slept SOMEBODY MAKE THE CAFFEINE PIXIES DISAPPEAR PLEASE KTHX:


'SUSPECT 'FILMED UP 100s OF SKIRTS'


A man arrested for using a camera to look up women's skirts on trams might have filmed hundreds of people over four years, police said yesterday.

The man, in his mid-20's, used one camera hidden in the toe of his shoe and another disguised as a walkman to film his victims.

He was arrested on Monday after filming a woman on a tram bound for the CBD. The woman and her partner complained to police, who found the man on another tram travelling down St. Kilda road.'



Firstly.


If someone wants to see my knickers, they really only have to ask politely. They're underpants, big deal. What's the thrill of sticking a camera up someone's dress to see their gusset anyways? You only get that horrible diamond of pantyhose which looks like a particularly hirsuite burglar creeping in through a bedroom window and doesn't necessarily inspire throbbing lust in anyone under the age of 70.


Secondly!


THE MAN IS A GENIUS.


He had a camera in the toe of his shoe and ANOTHER ONE DISGUISED AS A WALKMAN. Why are we locking him up? He's a Bond-esque inventor who should be given a circular office and access to the nation's best laboratories. So what if he likes watching video of thighs rubbing together on sticky tram seats? WE EACH OF US HAVE OUR CROSS TO BEAR.


Thirdly!

'From the shoe camera, a cord ran inside his trouser leg to a bum bag in which a larger camera was constantly recording.

"He's done a very good job of concealing the camera itself...however, he did have a handheld video camera which he concealed as a Walkman with headphones coming from it, and this is the camera that the victim identified," Senior Constable Benskin said.'



Okay, so maybe he's not as entirely brilliant as I first thought. Basically he just stuck headphones on a camera and prayed no-one would notice.


And no-one did. FOR FOUR YEARS.




Whether this says more about his genius or the plain fact that people are as stupid as ass I'm yet to decide.

when i first read this story i was convinced it was a certain upskirt enthusiast we both know and love.

in some ways i was disappointed it wasn't.

i got a little frisson when i read the bit about the "hirsute burglar" image re pantyhose sans knickers. i admit to finding the idea of catching a glimpse of that a sweet thought.

i'm reading the catherine millet book, no it's NOT pornography, no no no, merely a rejig of the story of o? i have to say that to my mind i prefer the idea of a bit of voyeurism rather than huge lascivious orgies.

but then i am old-fashioned like that.

Dr Nic said...

Yeah well people... bums... erm, buttocks... I can't think of anything cleverly punnish. Fuck it.
Anyway, what I enjoyed was the way he got caught – the woman had a "sensation she was being filmed". Now I'm fucking impressed – that's some superheroic sixth sense shit she's got going on. Was it all like "uh-oh! upskirt sense tingling! My schmoo must be on camera!"

they should have arrested him for wearing a bum bag in the first place.

18Jan15:52

yeah, the bum bag registered with me too.



SURELY THEY'RE NOT MAKING A FASHION COMEBACK.

The Pun_isher said...

Perhaps he should consider hiring as his defence counsel Rump 'ole of the Bailey?

18Jan16:11
The Pun_isher said...

Of course, his tactic would be to merely skirt the issues, and look for some legal back door

18Jan16:20
The Pun_isher said...

Though, he may get a dressing down by the judge in camera for it

No indeed, the jury would be boweled over by his skills defending his client

Lets write a script for a mini-series.
I reckon we approach John Howard to play an arse-wipe.

18Jan16:38
The Pun_isher said...

Though the prosecution case seems pretty strong, and may have already rectal his strategic plans

Maybe we could give it a period setting with masters and servants.
Dare I suggest Upskirts and Downstairs?

Anybody want to throw in a Bum-tish!!

And as the credits rise we can all dance away into the distance, cheek-to-cheek.

18Jan16:45
Hellglitter said...

Ms Fits, sudden idea.
Can you write a short script.
John Howard in the toilet unzipped, running freely and sighing in relief above the trough after a parliamentary piss-up when who should walk in but his old mate Beasley.
Just a thought.

18Jan16:46
The Pun_isher said...

Period setting? I'm sure there's a lot of people who already see John Howard as a bleeding cunt

No puns from me, but I just wanted to highlight this bit of the story:

"We're appealing to any female who believes they have been photographed or filmed by this male," the police said.

Can I be on THAT jury?

"Ms Fits, how do we know you are a reliable witness? Can you prove that it is you in this photograph?"

Even better is the thought that they will publish these photos somewhere and ask women to claim them.

*amazed that no one's asked for the obvious*

Err, Ms Fits, can we *politely* see your knickers??


Okay, so maybe I'm just not subtle for all this pun-ditry...!

18Jan19:16
MordWa said...

"enough"

"...enough!..."


I meant 'subtle enough' to see err...

*one really must stop 'going visual' when typing one's single entendres*

This whole thread is nothing but a big load of punani!

After scanning this commentary, it's now not surprising to learn that Slick Willy enjoyed his time in the Oval Office.

I'll get my goat.

Dearest Pun_isher, cunts are useful and dandy things- bleeding is also useful and important. John Howard is not.

Ms Fits., I do not know if it is the panadeine forte I took for my ailing tooth, or the subsequence half bottle of crap Yellow wine I consumed when the before mentioned pills didn't work , but I found your comments about everybody's fave (or not) drug fucked wanker Pete Doherty doin relationship counselling before pissing off with one's i-pod side splittingly funny in today's TV guide. There is some guy on TV talking about his cervix I think. Being 'some guy' I am fairly certain hed doesn't actually have one.

i apologise for running with nads' pun. i have learned my lesson*.

Remember, anywhere something punny is needed, any time "normal" commentary is reduced to banal wordplay, I will be there.

Watching.

Waiting.

Looking for some pun.
