HIGH KICKS FOR HICKS
Criticism of David Hicks in this week’s Bulletin is balanced by a celebration of David Hicks: The Musical! ... featuring the David Hicks Dancers:
The participants are presumably unaware that dancing was prohibited by the Taliban, whom Hicks adored.
UPDATE. Prominent Australians to the rescue, as usual!
From British-born Nigel Jamieson, the writer and director of this farce: “I think there are things Australians have felt really ashamed of in the past five years: the way we treat the kids and families of asylum-seekers, and prisoners. How you treat the weakest members of society is a standard every society ends up being judged by.”
I think you guys need to rework your immigration laws. How did this bozo get in? Apologies in advance, of course, for intruding on the “shame” of any Australian commenters.
The participants are presumably unaware that dancing was prohibited by the Taliban
Not to mention homosexuality.

Perahps now Addamo will admit that Hicks is a terrorist threat. This hideous show inspired by him has to qualify as an act of terror on civilian populations!
David Hicks: The Musical! ... featuring the David Hicks Dancers:
Oh my god, that is the funniest thing I’ve seen in ages…where did I leave that screen cleaner?
Posted by Mr. Bingley on 2006 07 19 at 02:10 PM • permalinkI’ve got to believe that Jamieson got this whole screwy idea from Mel Brooks’ The Producers, and the “Springtime for Hitler” scam (i.e., raise a lot of money by selling in excess of 100% of a show, then create something so bad that it’s guaranteed - supposedly - to fail). Bad taste is one thing, but stupid bad taste is just beyond the pale.
paco, you might be thinking of the last scene in the movie version (the original movie version, anyway), where Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder are shown producing a new musical whilst in the slammer. I recall that musical was called Prisoners of Love.....

They could film it and show it in a double feature with “Cannibal: The Musical”.

Except for the crew, one might hope that the dive continues until “The End”.

Homosexual, Over near the toppling wall
Sex out of wedlock, Stoning
Shoplifting, hand amputation
No Beard/ not required length, Whipping and/or fine. (A little rule I heard from a Hazara refugee)
Not to mention this little beauty. You are walking allong and come across a couple of talib chaps around their campfire. they check your ID and order you to keep their campfire going till they return. A week or so later they come back. If the fire is going no worries, if its out they track you down (ID card remember) and fine and beat you. Nice little religously sanctioned shakedown.Posted by thefrollickingmole on 2006 07 19 at 07:07 PM • permalinkI don’t know, andycanuck….I’ll have to pull out my DVD, it has been a while for me!
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2006 07 19 at 07:16 PM • permalinkThe link is from the new stage version, Jeff, and not the original film that ends with Bloom selling shares in the play (with the Warden buying a 150% share) and the convict cast just starting to practice dancing and singing “Prisoners of love, blue skies above” under Max’s direction as the film goes to credits.
Posted by andycanuck on 2006 07 19 at 07:34 PM • permalinkBTW, will the Variety headline about it coming to the U.S. be “Hicks’ Fix Danced by Dicks”?
Posted by andycanuck on 2006 07 19 at 07:38 PM • permalinkBrilliant! More grist for our mill. I am most definitely a lover of high culture, but I’m just not sure what this dance troope are lovers of?
Posted by dover_beach on 2006 07 19 at 08:10 PM • permalinkWhat level of moron would actually pay to see this…no, don’t answer that.
Taxpayers most likely - sensibile and moronic alike.
Posted by Mr Hackenbacker on 2006 07 19 at 09:53 PM • permalinkAnyone seen this “open letter” online?
I would be very interested to see the names of the “prominent Australians”.
Like a Who’s Who of ratbags, no doubt.
Posted by Pedro the Ignorant on 2006 07 19 at 10:57 PM • permalinkWhen do you suppose these prominent Australians will sign a letter demanding the release of the rest of the prisoners in Cuba? You know, the journalists in Castro’s paradise, among others.
Posted by Not My Problem on 2006 07 19 at 11:43 PM • permalinkTitle needs work. How about Jordan Riverdance? Fifty step-dancing belt-bombers lined up across the stage. First time they stamp a heel — BANG!
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2006 07 20 at 12:40 AM • permalinkWow! I get more impressed with Karl Rove everyday. I had no idea his arm reached to Australia. This is so absurd, it has to be a Rovian plot to discredit the lefties by taking their opinions and actions behind to the point of absurdy to self-parody.
Posted by Jabba the Tutt on 2006 07 20 at 07:57 AM • permalinkWith apologies to ‘West Side Story’:
When you’re a Jihadi,
You’re a J all the way
From your first cigarette
To your last dyin’ day.When you’re a Jihadi,
When the shit hits the Yid,
You got others around,
So what if they’re kids?You’re never alone,
You’re never disconnected!
There’s Fisk on the phone
He’s one of your own:
And with Ant expected,
You’re well protected.Then you are set
With a capital J,
Jihadi’s the bet
Till you blow yourself away.

Now, now. We can’t be criticising the activist types when they are only trying to help…
