I don't know how you boys can wound moi so unfeelingly...(sniff)

After all, I gravitate to this forum - and it's half full of puerile twits.

(Not mentioning any names)

Well, at least they're not showing Greens & Labor politicians.

"Well, at least they're not showing Greens & Labor politicians"

Heh, heh, imagine a Christine Milne face with the trademark cat's bum pursed lips on the prow of a van. It would shoo roos and face down road trains. Truly wicked!

Then again, there are Greens most might prefer to see anywhere but in the rear vision mirror, coming up from behind.

Labor's Julia Whatshername? Never seen. Perhaps the beam of a river coal barge might do her justice.

Poirot has yet to link to that van with Anna Bligh on it. The same Anna Bligh whose incredibly long sight caused her to sool police onto damsels allegedly sunning their pert titties on Gold Coast high rises. That was when Premier Bligh was in a limo and supposed to be checking out the F1 track. How Anna managed to see those bare boobies way up high and through the floors and balustrades no-one knows, and police couldn't find any. The sort of priority and 'boobs' that Anna was known for.

Sounds to me that there is someone around here, who the cap fits, & is struggling with that, or has not had the chance to let hers out, & is resentful of that.

Hehe,

Whether sexist or other misanthropic garbage is or isn’t OK to flash around the neighbourhood depends on your vision of Australia.

If Australia isn’t a nation and a society but a mere market as IPA or those who own it or those whom it owns would have us believe then it doesn’t much matter what is scrawled on the vans just so long as it doesn’t damage any commercial interests.

If Australia isn’t a nation and a society but just a pastiche of top-down-ruled “communities” then there’s almost nothing true or false that can be displayed without offending one or other.

If Australia isn’t a mere market or heterogeneous pastiche but is a society with a current population of 22 ½ million (>50% of whom are women and children) then flashing sexist or other misanthropic garbage in shared public space certainly isn’t OK.

Censorship however is one of the worst ways to combat it. I like what I once saw in the London Underground. The walls beside the escalators bore glassed-in ads for automatic garage doors that proclaimed that they were “so easy to open that even a woman could use them.”. No vandalism, no censorship, but each ad soon bore a sticker stating “Sexist drivel – don’t buy” . Even better was when some trash had painted "ABO" on an Aborigine's front fence in Fremantle and the occupant had added M, making it MABO. Way to go!
