The dearth of Culture Strain
So...
This isn't one of those "I'm switching off my blog for good"-type posts that everyone seems to be making lately; rather it's a note to let all y'all know that I am well aware Culture Strain has recently experienced what might be termed a "dry patch". This may or may not continue - on the one hand I'm keeping busy with
my other blog, but on the
other hand, there are plenty of things about Australia that irritate me and may be worthy of an amusing post (for example, the continuing earnestness of Kevin Rudd's supporters, like, get over him already please).
There are still plenty of folks who come here daily even though it's been a long time between updates, which is awesome. You guys rock. I advise you to add Culture Strain to your RSS reader of choice (and if you don't know what an RSS reader is: seriously, it's 2008 now. Try to keep up) to keep abreast of whatever updates are made here. In the meantime, I'm blogging about my television obsession at my aforementioned other blog,
TV Junior, so you can catch me there.

Worst. EVER.
Anyone who pays money for
this travesty of music deserves instant death.

GHB = Gay, Homo, um, Buggerer
Well, I don't know about you, but I believe poor Todd McKenny one hundred percent when he says
his drink was spiked with GHB hours before he was discovered unconscious in a Sydney park.
Witnesses alleged they saw him off his tits at a dance party the previous night. Fie on them!
Drink-spiking is not a laughing matter!

Vanessa Amorosi apparently much uglier than we first suspected
It's not surprising that this pic of Vanessa Amorosi has been photoshopped:
What's surprising is the
extent of the photoshopping. My vast network of spies tell me that a team of image-editing pros spent
four days retouching this picture.
FOUR.
DAYS.
WTF?!

Ian Thorpe makes the jokes too easy
Ian Thorpe will be one of the people
carrying the Olympic torch through Australia; I'll leave you to make your own "flamer" joke.

An insight into the disturbed workings of my mind
I can't help but feel a little sorry for
Nick D'Arcy. I mean, I know he's prone to violence and all, but I'm inclined to be sympathetic towards anyone who looks good in a speedo. For example:
Not so evil now, right?

So now that it's all over...
... what was the point of the 2020 Summit, again?

"Aww, a soiled wig"
Woah!
That is one
tight shirt Pete Murray's squeezed himself into in his latest clip. I want to snark, and yet I... muscles... the tightness... so very tight... Goddammit, sometimes I hate being so superficial.
Okay, seriously, he might have a ridiculously broad chest, but he also has ri
diculous hair. Pete, when you find a soiled clown wig in a dumpster out the back of your recording studio, social convention dictates that you
don't wear it.
