on English Sensibilities, Courtney’s Romance and Australian State of Affairs

To those believers shall he who is of my type among men not bind his heart; in those spring-times and many-hued meadows shall he not believe, who knoweth the fickly faint-hearted human species!
~Thus Spake Zarathustra, Nietzsche

Courtney Love says that she shouldn’t have “left Ed Norton, who was good and wonderful, for an average man. It’s upsetting.” Her late husband now makes more money than Elvis, making him the top earning dead hubby in all 2006.*

I saw Kurt the other night at the Red Square (which is, by the way, now totally fucking packed with ayams imitating Courtney Love). It’s official, the place is now a shithole. I took a girl there and was caught staring at her rather funny. I was going to say that she was the prettiest thing around, but she could tell that it wouldn’t be much of a compliment in that place. She then thought I was being rude and clearly wasn’t impressed with my choice of venue. Great, we’re going to the mall next.

The English has officially gone nuts with the post-imperial sensibilities. A new research shows that Fish Feel Pain and “It’s shocking that people will still go fishing for fun,” says Mr. Niceguy. An organization called Compassion in World Farming now “called upon the UK Government to respond to the findings with legislation to improve the living conditions of fish living on fish farms.”

Another research says the Brits are most fickly about Being Naked in Public and a Hoodie. Mobile phone ringtone ranks 5 right before arguing. Read the 10 ten English taboos here. Tesco however, now sells Peekaboo pole dancing set (under fitness equipment category, ‘extend the pole, put on the music and get fit’ says the description). I’m getting one for a birthday present.

An American man was sentenced to exile in Canada. America recruits non citizen soldiers and skinheads to make the numbers. Aryan Nations established their Baghdad chapter. The world is flat, this is one way to look at globalization in full force.

In Australia, Mark Latham blamed John Howard for the declining quality of Australian men. “Australian mates and good blokes have been replaced by nervous wrecks, metrosexual knobs and tossbags,” he reckons. The same columnist notes that the Oz boys chat in urinal.
In contrast, a new study reports that Australian women’s breasts are getting bigger. Seriously, I wonder how this two studies are related.

As yours truly is planning to visit in two weeks, I’ll report my eyewitness account then.

and oh, in New Zealand, the Extra Anus Killed Four-Legged Chick. You can’t beat that for a headline, surely.

*I don’t know if she killed her husband and I care little. But if she did, at $50m annual post mortem, she definitely timed it right.
