Years ago, when Wayne's World came out, Mike Myers appeared in a satellite interview on Vizard (an Australian Letterman clone.)  By way of comedic destabilisation, 3/4ths through the interview Vizard asked Myers if Rob Lowe was a dickhead.  Myers and Carvey genuinely broke on camera, unable to get over that a TV host could ask a question like that - even in jest - on national TV.

With that in mind, here's a quote from today's copy of The Age about the trains the government bought to overhaul our Connex-fuxxored transport system;

 

(Rail Tram and Bus Union locomotive president) Mr Sheedy said the new trains were not of the quality needed for Melbourne's network. ''You get what you pay for, and they did: these trains are cheap and nasty overseas shit and drivers aren't happy with them,'' he said.

Australia's young, subscribes to behaviour that'll embarrass it once it hits maturity and dresses weird, but I do like that it just comes out and says it like it is.
