Death of Common Sense

The fate of Common Sense is in your hands…

Common Sense died as we entered the Naughties; six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment
for kissing a classmate, teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch, teacher fired for
reprimanding an unruly student, schools required to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a
student, honor student expelled for having a table knife in her school lunch, a government plan to ban
inhalers from 14 million asthmatics due to a trace of a pollutant that may be harmful to the environment.
 
Common Sense gets resurrected here and now.

Church members to picket Heath Ledger’s funeral

WBC-Tools

This is how it should be… You fuckers….
Source: a picture worth a thousand words

They Say:
“A US church says actor Heath Ledger is in hell because he played a gay cowboy in one of his films, and has vowed to picket his funeral. The Westboro Baptist Church (WBC), a Kansas-based congregation known for its demonstrations outside funerals for US soldiers killed in Iraq, said the Perth-born Australian actor who died yesterday was “now in hell”. “WBC will picket this pervert’s funeral in religious protest,” the group said in a statement on its website. “God hates the sordid, tacky bucket of slime seasoned with vomit known as Brokeback Mountain – and He hates all persons having anything to whatsoever to do with it.

“Heath Ledger is now in hell, and has begun serving his eternal sentence there.” Ledger, 28, was found dead in his Manhattan apartment yesterday. A post-mortem examination has been inconclusive and toxicology tests are being performed to determine what, if any, drugs were in his system when he died. Ledger was nominated for an Oscar for his portrayal of gay cowboy Ennis Del Mar in Brokeback Mountain, a role for which he was widely admired.”

We Say:

Of all the lowest cunt acts I have seen in recent times and there have been so so many, care of America, and once again the lucky country throws up another one… How fucking DARE these arseholes even contemplate doing such a thing on such a sad sad occasion, I’m all for voicing your opinion and standing up for what you think is right, but this is just the lowest of low… Do these people have no sympathy towards the family of Heath Ledger at all? Their young son\brother\nephew\uncle has just died, let them fucking grieve!!!

Put your bullshit good for nothing placards away, no one gives a fuck about your cause… If I had the time and\or money I would make it over to WA go picket the picketers… I think such placards as the following would to down well…

We’ve all seen the attacks against Scientology, as discussed by Andrew Sayer aka @andrewsayer in his blog so when it is WBC’s fucking turn, something really needs to be done… Make it happen people…

Woman killed as train crushes car

Woman killed as train crushes car

StupidBeetle

Red means go… Huh?

They Say:

“A Young preschool teacher who was about to be married died when her small car was crushed after being hit by a V/Line train. Kay Stanley stood no chance when she drove her Volkswagen Beetle across railway tracks as the train approached Tyabb station yesterday morning. Despite efforts by the train’s driver to slow down, the train slammed into the VW’s driver’s door, dragging it more than 200m along the track. Wedged under the front of the train, the little car then slammed into the station platform, where it was completely crushed between concrete and train.

Shocked Tyabb residents, angry the crossing does not have boom gates, stared in disbelief and distress as what was left of the car was eventually towed away. Tyabb shift supervisor Earle Sellers, 57, said he believed the crossing was an accident waiting to happen. “Motorists travelling east along Mornington-Tyabb Rd usually have the sun in their eyes in the morning and are most likely to be concentrating on the more noticeable traffic lights just ahead of the crossing,” Mr Sellers said.”

We Say:
I had to bring this to peoples attention… Since fucking when do flashing red lights and bells mean “Hey! Go right ahead, cross the track!” people who bitch and moan about having boom gates and that boom gates would have saved this womans life, give me a fucking break…

How many people have seen people drive AROUND boom gates in the city, people they are impatient arseholes….! Then they get hit by a train…. “The boom gates failed!!!” No sir, you’re fucking brain failed… Again…

I feel for the family and this womans fiance, but fuck me… To cross a rail crossing while the lights and bells are sounding… wake the fuck up… Unfortunately her family and future husband are going to pay for her own stupidity… There are worse ways to go, but ignoring a working rail crossing is pretty fucking moronic…

And to think that she was a pre-school teacher… I hope she did not lead by example, otherwise the folks of Tyabb WILL need boom gates… Don’t give me that look… That had to be said…

Accused teen looters flown out of Emerald

Chuck

Youth of Today… Meet part of Chuck

They Say:
“Two teenagers accused of looting flooded homes in central Queensland have been flown out of town for their own safety. The boys, aged 14 and 16, have been charged with multiple property offences in Emerald this week. It is alleged they broke into units on Riverview Street, stealing and vandalising property.

They appeared at a specially convened court hearing last night and were remanded in custody. Police Inspector Lyle Mitchell says the community is angry and the teenagers have been taken out of town as a precaution. “One of my concerns at the moment is making sure that they are safe,” he said.

“The community is angry. There has been some expressions of revenge and actions against them and certain members of the community are after blood, so we will be looking after ensuring their safety.”
We Say:

*Wipes tears of joy*

Thank fuck for that…. Now let’s just hope they’re paraded as the low scum sucking cunts they really are…

Youth of today… Take note here, don’t fuck with chuck or chuck will fuck you up… Emerald, I know pronounce thee, Chuck…

Emerald flood looters revolt PM

Emerald

Two words… Fuck… That…

They Say:
“Prime Minister Kevin Rudd says he’s revolted by looters ransacking inundated homes in the flood-hit central western Queensland town of Emerald. Looters smashed their way into about 20 homes while residents were holed up in evacuation centres and stole whatever wasn’t damaged by floodwaters. Authorities are expected to receive more complaints as floodwaters recede.

“It just absolutely revolts me that people could do this sort of thing,” Mr Rudd told the Nine Network. “I’m confident that the Queensland police will crack down on this like a tonne of bricks, and so they should.” Police have stepped up patrols on the waterlogged streets of Emerald as more than 260 properties, mainly in the town’s south, remain under water.

Emerald Mayor Peter Maguire said he was disgusted that people had returned home to find more than just floodwater gone from their homes. “I think people that do that sort of stuff are the lowest form of scum,” he told AAP.”

We Say:

*Cracks neck*

When you think of the lowest of low, this pretty much hits the nail on the head… I mean this really is a low cunt act, what the fuck are going through these peoples minds!?!??! Of course apart from alcohol or the influence of the drug they were on, well I certainly do hope so, I could not even begin to forgive someone for doing such a thing without them having been under the influence of SOMETHING!

To steal from someone when their property has been ravaged by once-in-a-century floods, no amount of curses can describe my hatred towards them, but I will try… You fucking arseholes, what the fuck are you thinking? You scummy fucktards…! Ok, got that out of my system, here are a list of things that would be comparable to what we have seen these arseholes do:

  • Burn down the fire engines saving a home from fire
  • Steal the wheels off an ambulance tending to a critically injured person
  • Cheating on your pregnant wife with the midwife
  • Breaking the interwebs
  • Starting bushfires, wake up you morons
  • Raising interest rates when the stockmarket crashes

They sound ludicrous yea? You’re not fucking wrong… I’m with Kevin Rudd here with the ton of brick… Tie their balls\breasts to a ton of bricks, then throw into the swollen river…

US gambler loses $30,000 poker haul

US gambler loses $30,000 poker haul

They Say:
“A young American gambler, Jason Potter, robbed of his $30,000 poker winnings at knife-point yesterday believes he was stalked inside Crown complex. Jason Potter, 22, who placed 31st of a field of 780 at the Aussie Millions poker tournament, had cashed in his winnings at Crown’s cashier desk about 4am. After buying some takeaway food, Mr Potter began strolling back to his hotel across the Spencer St footbridge.

He said the man then brandished a 30cm knife in front of his face and warned him not to call police. “I did briefly go to fight back until I saw the knife but . . . no amount of money is worth (the risk),” said Mr Potter, who has earned about $345,000 in poker tournaments in America. The Oklahoman, who abandoned a political science course to take up poker full-time, said the theft, during his first overseas gambling trip, “definitely hurts really bad”.

The 11-day tournament, which ended on Sunday, earned Mr Potter a $25,000 cash-in plaque and a $5000 chip, which he’d put in a safe in his room at Crowne Plaza. But when hunger struck in the early hours, he headed over to Crown for some food. Since he was due to fly home at lunchtime, he decided to cash out at the same time. He said he hadn’t inquired about taking a cheque instead, and often carried large wads of cash in Las Vegas. ”

We Say:
This makes me sick to my stomach, how some arsehole could mug this dude for this winnings, his WINNINGS!!! It’s not like he was some fuckwit that sat in the casino pushing a button on a pokie all goddamn night and finally got lucky on 2 million-to-one odds… Poker is a game of skill and luck, but it takes more fucking skill than pressing a fucking button, my heart goes out to this dude, that’s just fucking unlucky… It’s just a pity you don’t see more Asians getting rolled for their pokie winnings… This dude kicked ass in a poker TOURNAMENT for fucks sake! It’s not everyday a dude kills it at a poker tournament, these are hotly contested and clear-cut winners of multiple tournaments are hard to find…

I sure hope this dude decides to come back to Australia, it’s his first trip overseas for a poker tournament… I fear he might not do it again… Which is a real pity, Crown was gaining a good rep for poker, with the likes of Joe Hachem who also hails from Melbourne winning the 2005 WSOP bracelet… And now this… To the guy that rolled this dude… FUCK YOU!

When I read this story I felt bad to be a Victorian, to think another Victorian would do such a thing… I sure hope he’s not a Victorian… If he wanted to make some quick cash while fucking someone over he could have done any number of the following:

  • Work as a Victorian politician, they do a good job of fucking us all over… Public Transport anyone?
  • Male prostitute… Hey, he’s got no problem with taking others from behind…
  • Carlton AFL footy coach… Promise so much, deliver so little…
  • Australian Tax Office employee… Go find irregularities in others tax returns, you bastard!

Oh and just in case you missed it… To the person who perpetrated this crime… FUCK YOU, YOU’RE AN ARSEHOLE!

AGL - Don’t Fucking Bother….

Posted by Extremo on January 21, 2008 under Current Events

AGL

Last year around the end of July I received a letter from AGL stating that they were going to increase their Gas and Electricity prices, which pissed me off to begin with, as I had just had the new ‘cheaper’ prices kick in… You know the sorts of dudes that turn up on a weekend, when you’re relaxing and spew verbal diarrhea at you… On this such occasion the dude assured me that there was no contract period, they were just offering better prices… At the time I thought, “Fuck yea, saving money for doing nothing, sure!”

Then no less than 2 weeks later I get the letter in the mail saying they had increased their prices… Let me tell you, that did not impress me one bit, like they were saying, look we’re cheaper, then ehehehehe fuck no, just kidding!! So I got out our last couple of gas and electricity bills out and create an excel, plugged in the other vendors prices with our usage, to determine a new vendor, TRU Energy.

So I called TRU Energy and organised our gas and electricity to be moved over to them, which was all well and good, I started getting bills from them… In August my beautiful wife and I bought a house and moved into it at the start of September, we got our connections successfully moved over to our new place, everything was cool…

But at the start of December I get a bill from AGL, I thought, this is interesting… Turn the bill over to find that the billing period over-lapped the period we were actually with them, we had left them, according to TRU Energy on the 30th of July for electricity and the 3rd of August for gas! So I called the AGL customer service call centre and explained the situation to some drone, to which he asked me to send a letter stating when we had left the property, as in when we had moved out… Now I had just explained that we had CHANGED PROVIDERS…. Let me say that again… I CHANGED PROVIDERS… I even gave him the dates… But he was hellbent, after putting me on hold 5 fucking times, to get me to fax a letter over stating WHEN we had MOVED out of the property… Now it does not take a brain surgeon to realise that, fuck me, they switched to someone BEFORE they moved out… so I sent a letter stating the following:

To whom it may concern,

As per my phone call to your customer service department on the 29th of December 2007 to inform you that you had kept on billing us, even though we had changed providers.

Our AGL account numbers are as such:
• Electricity: <Our number>
• Gas: <Our number>

According to our new provider, TRUEnergy, we changed providers on the following dates:
• Electricity – 30th July 2007
• Gas – 3rd August 2007

I’m not sure why you have asked me for the date I moved out of the property, I changed providers, I did not move houses.

Please amend your records according to the dates above and send any final bills to the following address:

Jody Cones
123 MyAddress Drive.
Hoopers Cloaking. Vic. 8514

Kind Regards.

Jody Cones

Now I faxed this letter just after Christmas and the other day I get a letter in the mail, a *gasp* disconnection notice… Which brings me to today, I figure, why the fuck should I be calling this mob to sort out their fucking issue, reason: credit agencies…. If I’ve got this straight, if I don’t catch their OWN fuck-up it spoils MY credit rating, does anyone see a fucking issue here… And that’s just the start of it… I picked up the phone at 4:30PM on a Monday, today in fact… Dial the number and are greeted by a NUMBER BUSY message on my phone… I try again… and again… and again… wait 15 minutes…. still nothing… By this stage I want to embed the phone in my office partition wall… so I sit here frustrated unable to even get through to their customer service department…..

According to the letter they are going to disconnect my gas and electricity tomorrow… I really want to know if they disconnect the current tenants of the rental property we left…

Am I being unreasonable here, or is this just so piss poor it’s not funny?

The bad thing about this situation is that all I want to do is call them and just let fly, scream my lungs out down the phone, but that won’t make any difference what-so-ever… But the more fucked thing is… If I keep my calm and they sort out a credit and everything gets smoothed over and they are apologetic… What about the poor fucker that would just have paid the bill when he got it…? AGL would have swindled $100’s from him… WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?!?

Get your fucking act together AGL, I will now to my death, do anything and everything in my power to deter people from using your piss poor services…. Consider this a fucking wake up call, seriously….
