Wtf? | Shannon O'Neill

Oh Noes!

and my favourite:

I was sent this in an email. Amazing, if it’s true…

Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics: (Be sure to read to the end). It Must Be the music industry, rappers, the NBA …

36 have been accused of spousal abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
19 have been accused of writing bad checks
117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
3 have done time for assault
71, repeat 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
8 have been arrested for shoplifting
21 currently are defendants in lawsuits. and
84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

Can you guess which organization this is?
Give up yet? . . . Scroll down,Good citizen!

Graffiti game banned

this is insane! excerpt:

The Classification Review Board yesterday refused to classify the game, Marc Ecko’s Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure, meaning it cannot be sold, demonstrated, hired or imported.

The decision was endorsed last night by the Federal Attorney-General, Philip Ruddock, who had asked the board to review of the game’s MA15+ classification after local councils and state governments voiced concerns that the game would promote graffiti.

Australia is the only country in the world to ban the game.

Fwd: Now Now bios

Just received a strange email:

The following is from an unnamed Sydney musician…

I compiled some of my fave quotes from the bio page:

“Sydney-based musician and sound artist working with
whatever comes to hand” aren’t we all?
“He has made his own unique mark on the art-world
while never pandering to its politics” he was always a
wanker but now he actually belives his own crap, why
can’t he die instead of Derek Bailey?
“… he creates an ambiguous and beguiling sound world
” …poor deluded cunt
“… the most intellegent human being to ever play a
turntable ” they couldn’t spell intelligent right
“the most important musician in Sydney” – poor Matt,
the Dim Jenley curse….
“Media artist who works across music, radio,
Internet, film/video and installation” he’s a nice
bloke, well meaning, this sounds like an arts grant application

The last bit refers to me. Looks like I got off lightly!

(Yeah my bio is bland, but I hate writing bios (that one has been recycled (too) many times). Anyone want to write one for me?)

Scene politics, eh?

Holidy Road Toll

Can someone please explain to me the point of this?

Without context, such as comparisons with other time periods, analysis of conditions, circumstances, etc. it is basically meaningless. A bizarre, ghoulish competition. Road deaths aren’t treated this way at other times of the year.

It also appears to be a peculiarly Australian phenomenon (Googling ‘holiday road toll‘ returns mainly Australian media web sites). I’ve grown up with this and have always wondered wtf it’s all about.

Happy holidays. Look out!
