Dr Who fans! lets have a laugh at the expense of politicians!

Think about it, in the newer David Tenant Episodes yet to be shown on the ABC, which includes the episode "Daleks in Manhattan" offer us some familiar monsters.

I saw the whole episode on New Tube.

The irony of this is how the Dalek’s creation: the Human Dalek hybrid was so much like John Howard.

The other thing the Daleks hybridised were the pig slaves, which were basically human pigs with minds that had no ability to create. They appear almost exactly like Peter Costello. Disturbing almost, in the likeness of appearance, and the use of these mutants and characters in Dr Who, to political situations can be ironic.

In this future episode yet to be released on the ABC, a mutant human dalek rules with a plan to take over a new paradise for his dalek friends. Once he is no longer useful, he is exterminated. Notice the similarity to John Howard in his situation.

The other mutants: the pig-slaves just obey the evil daleks in their agenda for power and to reproduce their species. Notice the similarity of the pig-slaves to Peter Costello. He is a slave to the Daleks, but never a leader.

Then there is the showgirl. Sweet, nice, likeable, and will basically say anything a decent human would want her to do or say. She had incredible flair and often recited the obvious in crafted rhetoric. Such rhetoric was kinda romantic in a cute kind of a way. Notice the similarity to Kevin Rudd.

This music video is a good introduction to those not familiar with the new series:

John Howard starts politics

Finally, Tony Blair is even in the Dr Who Code. The Labour leader does not change; he regenerates into David Tenant:

Are the politicians are human as these Dr Who monsters?

This is of course a sattirical comment on the budget.

If anyone else has similar sattirical comments, feel free to leave them here. U Tube is a great resource for finding ironic montages, with images that can be enterpreted in different ways.

I mean, finding something to laugh at when it comes to Costello and Rudd is hard work. When it comes to laughter therapy, our creative minds need a jolt. I know this may not be the most clever metaphor using Dr Who.

But as Doctor Evil once said in Austen Powers "Throw me a freakin bone here". It aint easy finding a laugh.

And who is Billie Piper's character Rose? Julia Gillard?

Good question. Keven Rudd is the showgirl, who is anything everyone wants him to be, including a socialist Christian, a conservative economonist and a fabian all in one package. He ends of falling in love with a pig slave: a Peter Costello clone. then Gillard is more likely to be -- K9. The metalic wiz with the logical answers. Any other suggestions?

Unless Gillard is really Captain Jack Harkness who ends un running Torchwood. But then she would be a sexual deviate and con-man. That sounds more like Tony Abbot. The problem is, Captain Jack ends up being a hero, not a grumpy old bible bashing perve.
