Our Glorious Leader (who my late paternal grandmother referred to as 'that little cock-sparrow' on account of his resemblance to a diminutive bird with its chest puffed out) has weighed in to the debate over an attempt by Big Day Out organisers to discourage anti-social use of the Australian flag at the event this year, in an effort to curtail any Cronulla-like displays of racist national pride."Flags don't have legs and arms," Mr Howard wisely opined.
Give the man an elephant stamp - he's clearly a genius!
Personally, I'm much more surprised that the media haven't caught on to the wicked, pro-drug message that is plainly being promoted on the front page of the BDO site, which requires the viewer to take several bites of a no doubt psilocybin-rich mushroom before they are transferred via a shimmering, psychadelic vortex to the main section of the website. For shame, Lees and West, for shame!

UPDATE: The always-lovely Clem Bastow has written an excellent piece on this issue for her blog over at The Age - highly recommended indeed. Thanks also to Urban Creature who pointed me towards it.

I want to like Clem Bastow, but she once wrote a needlessly mean review of a song by my friends, Jane vs World. A great article, nonetheless.
'Pro drug' intro, yet the doubtless presence of druggie-doggies on the actual day will mean that any chemical way of making the early line-up more tolerable is forbidden. Wah.
