Things and stuff.

I don't like linking to the Herald Sun.

Wait, no, I'll start again.



I don't like that the Herald Sun exists, but, it does. And some people read it, and... well, see for yourself.

Why, yes, the 'non-existent' Coalition dirt unit has successfully managed to leak the fact that, in uni, a Labor MP was a bit of a lefty. Oh, yes. Not only has Julia Gillard insidiously chosen not to reproduce, she's been known to have ties to organisations with words like 'socialist' and 'union' in their names.

Whatever will we do.

There's a few reactions to this that they probably expected; things like:

• ZOMG!
• ZOMGcommunists!
  
• Leftists? In my Labor party?
• SAVEZ US FROM TEH KOMMUNIZMZ!
• Variations on the above
  

The whole thing strikes me (and, likely, everyone else) as business as usual, like a dirt unit coming up with the fact that Peter Garrett used to be in a band, or that Kevin Rudd used to breathe oxygen.

If Since they'll be running their typical underhanded campaign, they could, at the very least, actually try.



Happier news! Sugarshock!

The Whedon has a shiny new comic, free and on the Interwebs, of which three issues are available, being:

1. Battle Royale with Cheese
2. For Those About to Rock and/or Die
3. The Greatest Story Ever Blogged

It features... well, for the most part, Joss being Joss. There's a little bit of a plot, a goodly bit of lampshading, and a merry coating of silliness. If you liked [previous work by the Whedon], it's well worth reading.

Robot Phil says no. :P

(dare I ask how you got the third issue to play nice for the iconning?)

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I'm mostly stopped by the lack of good panels of L'lihdra, though there may be icons of other characters yet.

*wonders if there be other Sugarshock! icons than these*

(Deadly force. A flash decompiler.)
