Dirty Thirty PII

Phew, after about two weeks, all of my thirtieth celebrations are finally over. A total recap of the events of the weekend, complete with visuals, will be available within the next 24 hours.

In the wake of celebrations, I started this morning with a bang by brushing my teeth with shaving cream (I use the cream, not the foam, and it comes in a toothpaste like tube). When I made the discovery that the taste in my mouth was not minty, but musky, I actually made that cartoony "Phttt Phttt" noise when spitting it out. The taste is still hovering.

In other news...

For those American's who remember late eighties band Midnight Oil, well known for their hit "Beds are Burning," lead singer Peter Garrett is being groomed for parliament here in Oz. ...and in further proof that Aussies love their bands, Melbourne may be renaming Corporation Lane, AC/DC Lane:

Council city services committee chairwoman Kimberly Kitching said the lane was close to Swanson Street where the band filmed its legendary film clip to It's a Long Way to the Top.

"They are probably the most successful Australian band ever and they really do have a connection to Melbourne," she said.


For Americans who haven't had the opportunity to see the British atrocity that is "There's Something About Miriam" the show takes reality tv to a "new level" by allowing a bunch of obnoxious pommy lads to believe that a pre-op transexual is actually carrying two X chromosomes. The show is dangerous on so many levels, and while I am usually able to have a laugh about everything, I always take the responsibility of the media very seriously. Ever since my thesis in Journalism on "The Objectification of Women in Teen Publications" I have realized that the media has to take a careful look at what they present, especially to vulnerable audiences. Not only is there the risk of emotional damage to the contestants, which can have HUGE consequences, ie the Jenny Jones incident, it also paints a picture of cross gender individuals as conniving tricksters.

While I am extremely excited that Channel 10 is finally bringing the OC to Oz, their decision to bring Miriam into the Big Brother house is very disappointing. Hopefully, they will not use the tactic of presenting her to the horned up housemates as a woman, hoping for some kind of titillating result.
