    @mn5 I ate something BBQ favoured ONCE.

    Never again - puke.

    The only thing BBQ flavoured is BBQ

    BBQ flavour tasted like I imagine a mix of burnt vegemite and fresh dog shit would taste like. Quite appropriate for a thread about Stuff really

    What the hell did you try? I mean none of it tastes remotely like actual BBQ, but it's fairly inoffensive in most instances. Do chicken flavoured chips taste like chicken?

    Does anything taste like chicken? 😉

    Fark!

    A battle between gangs in a prison has killed at least 116 people and injured 80 in what authorities are calling the worst penitentiary massacre in Ecuador's history. At least five of the dead were reported beheaded, officials said on Wednesday (local time).

    The Ozy Media scandal, where an exec pretended to be a YouTube executive on a fundraising conference call with Goldman Sachs, was very funny.

    Once everyone had made the switch to an old-fashioned conference call, the guest told the bankers what they had been wanting to hear: that Ozy was a great success on YouTube, racking up significant views and ad dollars, and that Mr. Watson was as good a leader as he seemed to be. As he spoke, however, the man’s voice began to sound strange to the Goldman Sachs team, as though it might have been digitally altered, the four people said.

    After the meeting, someone on the Goldman Sachs side reached out to Mr. Piper, not through the Gmail address that was provided to participants before the meeting, but through Mr. Piper’s assistant at YouTube. That’s when things got weird.

    Seems as good a place as any for this.

    Can any UK based ferners tell me if this guy is actually well known or not ?

    What sort of ‘legal action’ can a person take if the jokes aren’t even directed at them ?

    @mn5 He was well known at one point. Winner of Pop Idol or some other shit show. Sold a load of records and faded away thankfully. Sounds like he’s desperately trying to regain some relevance but simply by virtue of him doing this via the equivalent of the Lower Hutt Chronicle shows how well it’s going for him.

    Edit: as for the legal action thing, who knows in this day and age? Anything seems possible. 🙄

    @catogrande seems quite interesting in that, all his beefs are with stereotypical gay themes, yet it seems at no point did anyone in the show actually say anything about gays? So he's offended by his own stereotyping of gays. Brilliant.

    So we’ve come full circle and we can now take legal action for offending ourselves ?

    What an age to be alive.

    What is rather encouraging was I spent time ( Christ talk about being bored ) looking at the comments and they were virtually all taking the piss out of him to varying degrees when I fully expected quite a few to have a go at Hammond and co.

    Perhaps we’ve turned a corner with this PC/woke bullshit ?

    Looking forward to the ferns take on this. It’s certainly pretty out there for any bloke from Palmy not to have a mullet I must say.

    Personally I reckon if there’s one sure fire way to make sure people think you’re a complete dickhead it’s to use the word “boomer” in a derogatory and probably incorrect way.

    I absolutely love what you did there. I hope you win some sort of fern award for doing so !

    That is an appalling article. I normally hate to use the word "privilege" but that article is teeming with privilege.

    I dunno, that is pretty inexcusable from the hairdresser. Assuming the story is accurate, he asked for one type of haircut and the hairdresser ignored him and gave him the complete opposite.

    I would be fuming.

    I can’t believe it was actually published, the headline should have been

    “Fat moany privileged prick laments the lack of stodgy food at servo”

    As one whose experience has shown judging a book by its cover saves valuable time, I'm not surprised.
