Welcome To My Partycast… Unless You Have An Opinion That’s Different!

Talk show host interviewing vampire character

There’s something strange about the state of the world. I guess there always was, but the ease with which anti-social media helps people’s strangeness spread makes it all the more obvious.

For a start, how is it that some of the strongest supporters of Pauline Hanson’s One Monoculture are also the strongest supporters of Karl Stefanovic who – apart from not Anglicising his name – was dropped from Channel 9 for interviewing a far-right nutter. (Ok, before some of you may object to me calling Barnaby Joyce a “far right nutter”, I am actually referring to Tommy Robinson!) 

It strikes me as odd that you can argue for a “monoculture” on one hand, while asserting a person’s right to say what they like on the other. “We’ll ban the Welcome To Country because it doesn’t fit with what we want Australia to be: one culture where the leader of our culture gets to decide on what culture best fits our cult!”

And it is also odd that the same people weren’t objecting to the cancelling of Antoinette Latouff or Grace Tame. But then I suppose they’d say that those objecting to that cancelling didn’t object to the cancelling of Karl or the censoring of Tommy Robinson…

Bec Judd announced that she was “brutally” unfollowing Channel 9 which caused a lot of people to ask questions, such as how does one “brutally unfollow”? and “Who’s Bec Judd?”

Anyway, I’d just like to say that I’m sick of the hypocrisy from all sides of the political spectrum and that, yes, I’ve had a gutful!! As a result, I decided that the time is right to release my own party… or podcast.

I couldn’t decide which, so I’ve decided to combine the two and call it a “partycast” which may or may not be an original creation but, what the hell, if I claim it my as own nobody will know the difference… unless they do. In which case I can say that I have my own opinion and who cares about the facts?

My Partycast is looking for a name. At first I thought the “Had A Gutful” might work but then it would be abbreviated to HAG which could cause a lot of controversy which…

Actually controversy works well!

So, HAGs it is.

Maybe I could start with something along these lines:

“For the past few years I’ve been complaining about the government’s lack of action on potholes and the recent money in the Federal Budget aimed at fixing potholes in the road just goes to show that I was right all along and I’d like to say that I’ve had a gutful and I’m just sick up and fed to my back teeth that just when I get an issue that we all agree is something that someone needs to do something about the federal government allocate money towards and I get absolutely no credit.

“This is just typical of the way the powers in Australia try to silence the ordinary man: by sometimes fixing the problem. Well, if they think fixing the problem is going to make us go away, then they better have a long hard think because we won’t be silenced and WE HAVE HAD A GUTFUL!”

Great slogan. I can just picture a whole range of followers joining me as we chant it in unison and if we’re ever elected we can all chant:

“Four less years, four less years!”

Must register the partycast name before someone beats me to it.

Cheers,

Rossleigh (HAG founder and lifetime president)!

  1. Good luck to your partycastical ambitions, Rossleigh.
    You had better install some sort of barrier to prevent the owner of the PHONeys from joining your lot else she activate her Brutus gene and do a coup on the premise that she is a better HAG then your good self, but I am sure you have that covered off already.
    “Brutally Unfollowed” ? Is that the same as “you’re DROPPED” from way way back at high school? (It never happened to me, I was never cool enough to have a “girlfriend” in the first place, but apparently it was devastating.
    I wonder when keyboards are going to come with the designated keys for all of the requisite online stuff of today, ThumbUP, ThumbDOwn, SUBscribe, FOLlow, UNFollow, and of course the BrutallyUNfollow. Mac keyboards would also have the CompletelyUNfollowTotally key, for those down with geekspeek.
    On a completely seperate topic, Monoculture. Our Poorleen has her plan, some of which if I take the absolute basic headline I COULD almost agree with, and she needs to PleezExplayne the details, so I reckon a(nother) reff’rend’m is due. More like a survey though, to sort out the important stuff. We must pick one.
    Gina is god. (Sign here for your own free ‘plane)
    Holden/Ford ?
    Is golf a sport ?
    That should cover everything for the moment. All other policies will become evident after Poorlen is installed as our lower goddess/Gina’s pet haridan

  2. That picture of K Stuffupalot irritates as much as radiates for such mediocrity spreads more like sickness than saneness. Why sit still, stare, listen to vain mediocrity and swollen vanity, fairyfloss fluff? Many who have never read or thought deeply ” know” what they want and a bladder of political urine (with henna hair) has promised to deliver it. To support a sickness instead of seeking cures is quite stupidly self-defeating. Hansony fantasy is raging ratbaggery, but, vain and profitable. Juiced Joyce cashes in, bludges away, a filthworshipper.
