Stop swamping my stats!

I think it rates just a quick mention - I am just astonished at the vast numbers of people who have inundated my blog in the search for Erin McNaught unveiling what God/plastic surgeons gave her.

Perhaps it might be more appropriate to ban women from 'beauty' pageants based on whether they've had their very important parts doctored rather than whether they've had their photos taken without the two-cents-worth of bikini fabric covering them?

Poor Erin, it's all a bit personal isn't it?! But seriously, when it comes down to parading your mostly nekkid, heavily sculpted body around like a performing seal to win the best of show prize - you'd have to be pretty at one with people making personal comments about your altogether, wouldn't you?

It should certainly come as no surprise that the philanthropic Donald Trump has swooped in to Ms McNaught's rescue endorsing her as a contestant and apparently saying he thinks she has a beautiful body. *And for all those who wanted a revealing pic, the pic in the link above shows just about all her skin and bones &, in accordance with plastic mainstream media beauty protocols, she looks like she's all of fifteen years old & has just stepped out of some famine ravaged country - but it's good that she's so proud of it.

For all of you faithful crime googlers who want to read about your favourite anti-heroes, don't worry, I will be chasing ambulances and police cars all next week for you all.

Spiceeeh!

Man that Cooks Inc bustin out a theme tune from the dark stanky depths of the Spiceblog.
Rocket Scientist Barbie has urged judges who wish to take away her title to look at her nude photos.

She said she hasn't let the twins out since donning the $20,000 tiara and that nude modelling, is so, like, 2005.

A wet-fish slap for Jim Davie, the national director and licensee of the Miss Universe Australia competition who contests that these days 'all models have done topless modelling' and 'it's not Afghanistan' - the Hindustan Times are now hailing Erin McNaught as a porn star, which is probably largely attributable to that tremendously insightful comment.

B1 & B2

It would seem that there are a number of people who wish to send little Miss Australia, to the McNaughty corner.

But Jim Davie, the national director and licensee of the Miss Universe Australia competition, said when he had looked over the photographs, he saw nothing that could demean the Miss Universe Pageant, and described Erin McNaught as an 'exceptionally nice girl.' He also said all models have done topless modelling and that 'it's not Afghanistan.' (Why don't we all take our tops off then!?)

Jonathon Westbrook a judge from Perth, said not all the judges had been informed Erin McNaught had done topless photos prior to the judging, and she didn't deserve the $20,000 tiara nor the $5000 prize money(probably didn't need it, to be more accurate).

Deborah Miller the pageant co-ordinator said the competition 'had descended into farce.' McNork, had set a bad example and did not deserve to retain the title,she said, and that she would be a poor role model for girls, although Ms Miller didn't mention any particular problem with the dozens of other women required to parade around in the fabric equivalent of 2 rubber bands, having not eaten for six months, nor the ethics involved in examining & displaying women like prize heifers at the Woomerinka* Royal Show.

Our ABC?

Anyone could be forgiven for thinking Mr Howard might be loading the bases at the ABC.

He has now selected Keith Windschuttle(the same guy who ordered a full review of the Oz National Museum after complaining about an Indigenous history exhibit which had the audacity to question our widely accepted/pushed colonial version of Oz history) to be on the Board.

It is little wonder that Howard is trying to enlist conservatism to create a unified voice for Australia, and to rid us of all those pesky lefties who might have us considering human rights and whistleblowers through seditious programming.

All in the name of science

Gold coast science student, Erin McNaught(y corner) said in her post-Miss Oz pageant press conference she wants to win the 2006 Miss Universe pageant to raise public awareness about saving the environment - so it'll still be there like, tomorrow, y'know?

Could saving the environment be the new world peace?

Did you say June 9??? Already??

It's been a while between posts, tis true. In the same boat as Armaniac, drumming up work, between essays, living, cleaning, parenting et al. I have to thank you for sticking around and for all the traffic who follow all the posts about crime I will try to give you some more of those instead of boring you senseless talking about politics all the time.

Like the eclectic Midweek Banality, this post will simply have to be comprised of the remnants of my scattered thoughts until I can get myself back on the blogtrain again.

So, a reminder...
for those of you who do not know, the essential services of the embattled Deaths in Custody Watch Committee of Western Australia have had their funding cut twice, till they now can afford to employ only 1 employee, 1 day per week, and their website would indicate that there has been no further deaths in custody as they have no funding to update the information on it.

Hot on the heels of the state government's constant denials for funding, is the suspicious death of a local Noongar man, within 15 minutes of him being arrested.

While an independent autopsy revealed injuries consistent with several blunt traumas to the face and two teeth & a part of the jaw broken away, there has been no independent investigation into the events prior to the man's inexplicable death.

There is a vigil in memory of this man and for all those who have died in custody, on Thursday June 15, on the steps of Parliament House(WA) @ 4:30pm.

For all of you who are unfamiliar with the situation in WA, the establishment of the Deaths in Custody Watch Committee was 1 of the few recommendations of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, ever implemented.

The NGO provided the only independent scrutiny of WA's notorious prisons and lock-ups and, for all those who have lost someone, or all those who mourn the loss of accountability, or for all those who believe in the process of justice, human rights and procedural fairness, now's the time to show your support.
