If, like me, you’re stupid enough to read anything dished out by news.com you will be very familiar with the absolute disgust and outrage that has been levelled at mid-morning TV show presenter, Yumi Stynes. The presenter of Channel 10′s The Circle has stuck her foot in it and gone around making naughty comments about a decorated Australian SAS officer, suggesting he was a brainless halfwit. How anyone could think such things about people in the Australian Defence Force is completely beyond me. Especially when such a glowing report was also released last week highlighting the ADF’s ingrained culture of sexual abuse, particularly against women, and overt drunken misconduct.

Japanese Adventures: The Lone Traveller Guide
Snow near Nagoya taken from the Shinkansen at 300 kms per hour
I’m on my way back to Osaka from Tokyo sitting on the Shinkansen Super Express, the Japanese super-fast bullet train as I write this (515 kms in 3 hours. Pretty fast I’d say.) Taking full advantage of my rail pass I purchased in Australia, I can travel anywhere in the country on these trains just two return trips to Osaka from Tokyo pays for the ticket and with the amount of travelling I have done on this pass, the ticket has well and truly paid for itself.
I’m now almost halfway through my Japanese backpacking adventure and if there are three pieces of advice I can give it is this:
1. Plan little
2. Travel alone
3. Stay in hostels.
Those Damn Rangas
I get called a ‘Ranga’ far more than is warranted considering my hair is what the experts call ‘strawberry blonde’. And if they’re experts than who am I to argue? The newspapers don’t.
Granted my beard does have a slight ginge tinge to it, but it’s only slight and to be labelled an all out Ranga is just inaccurate and, quite frankly, mean. I also have a soul.
But in the spirit of name calling, my friend created a Horatio meme, which i giggled at. I guess it makes more sense if you know me. And it might even be funny if you are me, but I’ve posted it nonetheless.
Cheeky Little Women Trying To Be Men
It’s my inaugural Destroy, White Boy post! It should have happened a lot earlier but somehow uni always gets in the way of everything else. But seeing as though this is my very first post here, I thought it best to discuss one of the most important and pressing issues of 2011 or indeed, of our generation.
It was over a week ago now since this all came to a head, but the anger boiling inside me ever since has not abated. Naturally those so called ‘independent media agencies’ (which as we all know are simply part of the left wing propaganda machine spewing out hippie ideals like legalising drugs and things as silly as human rights for all) have been all quiet on the matter. Not even a wink of discussion. So of course it’s been up to the big, respectable newspapers like The Herald Sun, The Daily Telegraph and News.com to report on these very urgent matters as headline news. And report is what they did.
So if you are ignorant of the most important current events in Australia, let me break down the exact atrocity that has plagued the political landscape over the past two weeks. With a great heaviness in my heart, I regret to inform that our Prime Minister, the supposedly honourable, Julia Gillard did not curtsy to Her Majesty, Queen Elisabeth the 2nd. I’ll give you a moment to regain your composure.
