WHEN BULLSH*T PRACTICALLY GALLOPS

My emphasis added to this report from the SMH courtesy of the "American Journal of Preventive Medicine" (????!!!!!!) …

A new US study has found that kids who listen to music with raunchy lyrics are more likely to engage in sexual activity than kids who don't.

The study, to be published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, did not find a causal link between crude music and teen sex, but indicated that "people who are exposed to certain messages in music are more likely to copy or emulate what they hear", said study author Dr Brian Primack in a statement ...

... The research in 2006-07 asked 711 year nine students around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, about their sexual activity and the songs they liked to listen to ...

...The researchers found that youths who listened most to "degrading" songs were more than twice as likely to have had intercourse as other kids in the study ...

“Do you have sex Otis?”

“I rooted the teacher on the football field last week, Doc. So did Buster. And Randy too. Then we went and ate some Twinkies and watched “Iron Man” again.”

Former Fairfax writer and “Daily Truth” blogger Jack Marx had this to say on a similar topic in 2007, addressing Joan Sauers claims about teenage sexuality in her book “Sex Lives of Australian Teenagers” …

Testimony-based science is vexed at the best of times, human beings so prone to bullshit - both the agenda-driven variety and the seemingly pointless - as we all know they are. The risk is amplified when the theme is sex, a topic upon which everyone can be relied to either lie through embarrassment or embellish through boast. Add to that capricious brew the fact that your interview subjects are such notorious opponents of exactitude as teenagers, their respect for scientific endeavour so often overwhelmed by a lust for pranks and the crush of peer pressure, and you've got a pile of "data" that might easily be mistaken for a pile of something else …

… Allow me to provide some preliminary conclusions of my own: the data in Sex Lives of Australian Teenagers is, for all academic purposes, frivolous junk, which no serious "specialist" should regard as having any more academic credibility than the Logies.

Yep. Reckon so.

LIKE FLIES ON SHIT

From Andrew Bolt’s Herald-Sun blog ... a clusterfuck of cretins ...

Here’s Shelley ...

I had always liked the idea of a republic Australia until 9/11. It made me realise how fragile Australia is because of it’s huge land mass, resources, standard of living, and very small population. Now I’m quite happy to be part of the commonwealth. The idea that China is going to be handed the opportunity to come to our aid in any future time of stress because we no longer have protection from The British Empire as a Republic is not comforting. It may well be China that is causing our stress. I note no comment has been made by our PM on China sending weapons to Zim. Is this because he agrees with this action? Will he boycott the Olympics because of this or is murder and weapon sales to a bloodthirsty dictator worth the price for his business? Shelley (Reply) Mon 21 Apr 08 (10:39am)

Ummmmm ...

Ummmmmmm ... Shelley rings a bell alright, but bugger me if I just can’t quite put my finger on what they may well be ... Nup. I don’t recall.

Here, Ronald yearns for the days of old, days of slaves and coolies, when a man knew his place and damn well kept it ...

Australia does not need migrants from Asia, Africa, the Pacific Islands or South America. Australia needs workers from Asia, Africa, the Pacific Islands and South America, on strictly controlled, 12 month only, work visas. The huge danger to Australia is the possibility of large scale ‘silent migration’ from China, courtesy of Chairman Rudd. After all, they will ALL vote for their Comrade. ronald reagun of Brisbane (Reply) Mon 21 Apr 08 (07:32am)

Ronald finds a friend in Truthman, who yearns for the days when “The Bulletin” implored it’s readers to keep “Australia for the White Man” ...

You are dead right there brisbane and krudd intending on bringing lots of maos here !they want to take over by votes so that we will be a minority ,its scary stuff and mabey all the warnings on asians years ago was correct after all !they should have stamped out communism when they had the chance ,but companies are onto him and are starting the shutdowns and moving !cant say i blame them either ! truthman Mon 21 Apr 08 (10:32am)

And, from Jack Marx’s blog decrying the recent 20/20 Summit Conference, Richard of Malandra would like it to be known ...

Dear Chilli I would have to disagree with you about not a lot happening .Our Creat Christian Leader Kevin 07 is Revisiting every negative death thought that Little Jonney wouldn’t touch with a barge pole . the latest is euthanisa I Do not see what doctrines of death have to do with a democratic government .They Are more in common with an athiest Totalitrian system of the far left. When a society embraces Death as its culture it has passed its use by date.and is heading for extinction Richard of Malanda (Reply) Wed 23 Apr 08 (12:17pm)

What the world needs now is not love, more love, but more adjectives. I keep running out.

WE’VE ALL HAD A GUTFUL

Jack Marx, on his News.com blog of April 11, 2008, spits the dummy and delivers a most righteous and admirable rant ...

“It was Demi Moore who started it back in 1991. Before then, getting pregnant was seen as something of a temporary disaster for an entertainer’s career, all photo shoots, publicity capers and public arsery put on hold while real life, quite literally, became too important for the nonsense of showbiz. Today, scoring oneself a “baby bump” is like releasing a new CD, with celebrities lining up to expose their bulging tummies to the masses, their spherical guts accompanied by leers that seem to say: “Look, everybody! I’ve been @#$%ed!”. It’s the big dick competition of the 21st century, and it’s time this childsplay were terminated.”

SORRY, SORRY, SORRY (SINCERE REGRETS)

On his News.com blog of January 16th, 2008, Jack Marx composed a prayer apologising for everything Australians have ever done to everyone ever.

I decided, in response, to compose a “Sorry” song to the tune of Tex Williams’ “Smoke, Smoke, Smoke (That Cigarette)” ...

Now we're a country with a heart of gold,
Or at least that's what we're taught and told,
The kinda place that's the envy of the world.
But there's some things that ain't too thrillin'
Like rape and murder an' pillage an' killin'
That when I heard about, did make my toes fair curl.

We're very sorry for Pauline Hanson,
She can't sing and she's shit at dancin'
She ain't much superior to anyone.

Sorry for whingin' and fallin' to our knees
Every time we see some Sudanese,
We promise we'll stop runnin' for our guns.

(CHORUS)
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sincere regrets,
Sorry for all the things we've done, and the things we ain't done yet.
We're so sorry it makes us cry,
Sorry 'bout all these fuckin' flies,
Sorry for the drought and the whales and the heat and the rain and the wet.

John Laws is sorry for his fuckin' language,
Sorry ol' bugger oughta choke on a sandwich,
And Derryn Hinch is sorry for his beard.

We're sorry for Amanda Vanstone,
On behalf of all our unborn grandsons,
And all those foreign folks that we've made a'feared.

We're sorry for Dicko, Mark and Marcia
Can't Cathy Freeman run any faster?
Sorry 'bout that, but we'll see what we can do.

And we're sorry 'bout Kylie Minogue
And Dannii and Delta and Australian Vogue
We're very sorry for everything we've put you through.

(CHORUS)
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sincere regrets,
Sorry for all the things we've done, and the things we ain't done yet.
We're so sorry it makes us cry,
Sorry 'bout all these fuckin' flies,
Sorry for the drought and the whales and the heat and the rain and the wet.

Now I saw a show that weren't quite right
“A Current Affair” or “Today Tonight”
And afterwards I was sorry that I had.

They'd chained some old gal to a wall,
And it turned out it weren't true at all,
T'were enough to make a sane man mad.

And a long time ago I was a bit of a boozer,
Some folks called me the biggest loser,
But we gave the world the technicolour yawn,

So on behalf of all drunken Australians,
It needs to be said if our souls are for savin'
We're so sorry that we pissed on your front lawn.

(REPEAT CHORUS)
