RENEWAL IS POSSIBLE

“Hope survives and renewal is possible,” Margo Kingston once wrote. A sign of this renewed hope was the cancellation of a car advertisement Margo felt was insensitive:

Honda thought it was funny to send up suicide in its latest ads, but the public didn't and Honda pulled them.

The ad in question showed a car deciding to kill itself. How awful! But if you think it's funny to suggest that the Howard government murders schoolchildren, Margo doesn’t complain at all. In fact, she'll supply a link so everybody can enjoy the wonderful joke.

Sure the hygiene standards are tough, but what about those snappy new uniforms? Shit, I think I might do a Rodney Dangerfield.

there really is some completely sick fucks around isn't there. Must be giggling in their lentil bowls to think how clever they are to link Howard with Nazis. Wow what a stretch. You must have thought for simply DAYS to come up with that one. Fuckstick!!

Molehill: don't put your url in your posts like that. It makes your entries here look like spam.

Oh yeah -- and just hit the "post" button once. Sometimes the site's a bit slow. I know you are eager to share your wisdom with us, but we don't need multiple posts.

That site is absolutely unbelievable! How virulantly can they lie, and still have anyone follow them?!?
