CARBON FOOTPRINT INCREASED

Eco-shrike Toni Collette is with child:

In February Collette said she was looking forward to motherhood and had become aware that her body clock was ticking.

"I’m 35 this year, which is almost 40, which is almost 50,” she said ...

“Which is almost 60, which is almost 70! (Which is almost 80),” emails Jim Treacher. “If only her IQ was capable of such leaps.”

(Treacher also notes Live Earth-related numeracy issues.)

  1. These people REALLY aren’t that dumb, are they?  I mean, it must have been the pregnency induced hormones speaking, right?

  3. These people provide their own parodies, don’t they.  Do they think we’re too dumb to think up parodies so they have to provide them for us?  They CAN’T really be that stupid.

  4. The fact that she is able to breed should be cause for concern itself.

  6. What a fine blending of genetic material- an airhead bogan who scored some well-paid gigs through a combination of the brief Australophilia of Hollywood and sheer blind luck, and a drummer who got the arse from a dreadful folk-rock ensemble featuring two tin-eared Pakistanis.

    If nothing else that bastard should be strung up by his heels from a bridge for convincing that daft slapper that she could sing, the crime compounded by also convincing her she could songwrite.

    The spawn of this hideous pairing may well be the Beast of Revelations!

    The fact that she is able to breed breathe should be cause for concern itself.

    Pardon the correction, but it makes me feel so much better.

  9. You realise, of course, that to remain carbon neutral Collette will need to make sure that her baby’s carbon output is offset. The only true way to do this is to remove someone else’s carbon output entirely to make way for Junior’s.

    Watch out, world. Toni’s got a gun, and this time, it’s ecological.

  13. I have one other question—considering that Tipper Gore (the wife of the Goracle to those of you non-Americans) rose to prominance by complaining about music lyrics, did they lock her in a steamer trunk and keep her with Jimmy Hoffa for the duration of the concert? After all, Hoffa supposedly is buried in Giants Stadium.

  15. Well mules my sheep, spill my latte all over my tofu on organic rye and call me a flyblown leftwing cause.
    That sheila is a porkchop.

    On the law of averages she must be destined to utter something that makes sense soon.
    Hopefully it will be “ there are greater opportunities for me to work overseas “. Sorry for wishing her on you non Australian bloggers. But we have had this tool for 30 odd years in this very city . I am a sharing kind of bloke and feel it is unfair to deprive you of her talents and wisdom. Enjoy !!!!

  18. #13: They didn’t have to. Tipper Gore climbed down from her Lofty Disdain for Pop Music Lyrics right about the time her VP hubbie launched his presidential campaign and started to figure that he was going to need to tap into the entertainment industry for funding. Remember: there is no hypocrisy in politics, just an endless series of amazing coincidences.

  21. According the Treacher, there was nothing like 2 billion viewers for the silliness.  Surely that’s a cause to rejoice.  I won’t let the breeding of one of the vicious silly people to detract from that.

  23. With a pregnant Toni Collette heading towards 25,000 years old at such a rapid rate, I feel the need to ask.

    WHO CARES? She is really a better example of why contraception is a good thing.

    And if anyone wants to know what I think, Margo K is the dad.

  29. #27 - About the only branch of music containing sensible right wing, war-mongering bastards is heavy metal. Dave Mustaine has deviated from the cause before, but he seems to be back on message. See also Metallica’s, Don’t Tread On Me - Truly a glorious song to be playing whilst stomping foreign devils. Lets get it on with the rock on!

  33. #31 - Played back to back, both songs combine to create a most excellent juxtaposition - highlighting both the horrors of war and yet showing the horrors of not fighting. Kirk Hammett’s fret work is superb. Together with Lar Ulrich they created perhaps heavy metals most dynamic rythym section, allowing Hetfield to explore his demons… Man this rock journalism is a piece of piss!

  44. I thought that fillum wot she done in the outback was a good one, where she got the Toyota out of the sand bog, shagged the boss and then he hit his head and died.

    It had a happy ending and she got her baps out, which is all you need for this reviewer to hail it as a cinematic masterpiece.

  51. She was going to sell her $5 million home in Bellevue Hill and move to Leichhardt and thus be closer to her olds in Blacktown? Yeah, like only 25 kms away!

    Mind you, we could have more respect for her, if she had moved to Blacktown itself, although $5m homes aren’t easy to find there. She would have had to settle for a more modest brick veneer bungalow, presumably like the one she has left mum and dad still living in.

  52. Using the figures at Treacher’s/ Washington Post and calculating the US per capita daily carbon footprint the live earth equivalent is an astounding 441,000.

    That is over it’s 24 hour life, live earth produced the same carbon footprint of 441,000 Americans.

  56. #32 Infidel Tiger -

    Andrea and Wronwright have something going… it’s a love/hate sorta deal.

    What we have is we’re both trying to jockey into a favored position with Karl Rove.  Think of it as a Goebbels vs. Himmler rivalry.  When we’re around Karl, we’re both cordial and professional.  Once he leaves the room though, we draw our daggers.  That’s the hate part.

    There’s also a little outstanding problem about some very old and priceless artifacts she stole from me.  If she gives them back to me, apologizes for spanking me once when my back was turned, and concede my natural position of dominance preferably via grovelling on bent knees, I’ll let her live.  That’s where the love part comes in.

  60. After the birth she could get a surgeon to remove the ovaries/testicles of the child.

    She is one of those who FGM waverers isn’t she?  It would also solve the problem of the childs potential to pollute with a child of their own.
