Hey Hey it's Centrelink Day

Ah, watching Hey Hey with the bf last night was so good. Matt and I were a bit disappointed towards the end though... Harry Connick Jr. kinda of brought the whole mood of the show down :/ Granted my sense of humour has been tarnished by 6 years of 4chan, but I don't think anyone who was laughing at the Michael Jackson skit on Hey Hey was laughing at anything other than some dudes dressed up as MJ. I guess in Australia we don't really make the association of putting black facepaint on as overtly racist, or at least we don't associate it with the "Mammy, I wants mah watermelon!" 50's setereotypes that America does. Most people I've spoken to don't see it as anymore offensive than Robert Downey Jr's portrayal of a black guy in Tropic Thunder or the President Obama Halloween masks on sale at the moment. Anyway, fingers crossed it doesn't effect the network's decision to bring the show back. It'd be nice to have something fun on of a Saturday night instead of... *reads TV guide* Funniest Home Videos and Big Momma's House 2. And put The Panel on afterwards, dagnabbit.

Ugh, I've so been spending beyond my means lately. I really need a decent job. Then again, who doesn't these days?

Picked up Dad at the airport close to midnight last night. As much as a bitch about him, it's nice to have someone to pick up the poor little dead birds on the doorstep. Sorry doggies, I don't appreciate your gifts.

I just woke up, should probably have a coffee

Oh, I was laughing at the "oh lawdy" golliwog black face paint, but that's because it was FUNNY. I'm so sick of the fun police always condemning people for being funny.

I think if that guy was gonna condemn the show for portraying a group of people as "buffoons" he should have apologised to us on behalf of American producers everywhere that show Australians as kangaroo-riding backwards rednecks in their movies/TV shows :| (Not that it bothers me because, you know, IT'S FUNNY, but it for tat, yo.)

So many jokes to be made, I can't even pick one. XD

I didn't even think of 'oh blackface, making a mockery of blacks everywhere' I thought they were 'making fun of Michael Jackson' who died like 2 months ago which is kind of unwitty :P

It was funnier when South Park parodied Steve Irwin with a stingray in his heart like a week after he died.
