ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNORUDD
The Legend of Kevin spreads worldwide:
Australia’s incoming prime minister Kevin Rudd could scarcely have imagined as his penniless family slept in a car during his childhood that one day he would lead the nation.
That famous vehicle - what make? what model? - will be a Queensland roadside attraction any day now; an antipodean counterpoint, perhaps, to Bonnie and Clyde’s death car. Meanwhile, reader Roland reports the appearance of a Big Giant Kevin Monster Head in the UK:
On my way home from work this afternoon in the center of London (the business area, where it’s totally dead on the weekend) I was accosted by Kevin Rudd supporters (two), holding a giant picture of their new supreme leader.
A large floating head not strange enough, they decided to stand in the way of anyone walking down the street. Granted, there were very few people, but it seemed a bit unnecessary.
It only seems unnecessary. All mysteries of Kevinism will eventually be explained. Be patient, earthlings.
