PHIFTIES PHLAG PHACT PHOOLS PHIL
Phillip Adams identifies another evil US plot:
Let’s see the Oscars for what they are – symbols of US hegemony and, as such, about as desirable, attractive and threatening as that other US critter, the cane toad.
The cane toad was introduced to Australia from Hawaii in 1935. Hawaii didn’t become the 50th star on the US flag until 1959.
UPDATE. Category: Ignorance. Professor Bunyip weighs in.
Does this sentence make sense at all? I mean, what meaning is he trying to convey?
One of the adjectives is the exact opposite of the other two (threatening vs attractive and desirable).
So if the response is yes to his “let’s see what they are” call, the cane toads are attractive (apart from threatening).
Well, you have to be a very PC Leftie to find them attractive.
If the respose is no, ie. they are not threatening (and not attractive), he is ignorant of how destructive these critters are.
Phil, time to take that “Semantics for pompous, ignorant parasites” course.Posted by Honkie Hammer on 2005 03 25 at 04:50 PM • permalinkYeah, we stamped out the last vestiges of Hawaiian self-rule back in 1898, scooping it up while taking Cuba, Guam, the Phillipines, and Puerto Rico away from the Spanish.
Posted by Warmongering Lunatic on 2005 03 25 at 05:58 PM • permalinkLeafing through the local TV guide, checking out holiday movies, and came across the “Road to Nhill”, playing at 12 noon, Easter Monday on Prime TV, and starring, wait for it, Phillip Adams!
Nah, couldn’t be, thinks I, but checked it out on the IMDB anyway.
There it was, yup, Phil doesn’t actually star but he has a bit part. He plays, GOD.
Hehe, sounds about right.The Oscars© are really scary!
Posted by Wallace-Midland Texas on 2005 03 25 at 06:18 PM • permalinkI’m pretty sure I read somewhere that cane toads aren’t native to Hawaii either???
By far the largest, ugliest and most noxious toad native to Australia is Adams himself!
Isn’t it funny that if broadcasters Alan Jones or John Laws were constantly spewing this bile and vilification against a group of people, say Moslems rather than Americans, they’d be toast!? However the ABC peers of taxpayer funded, one-man hate group, fatty Phil Adams, who are always quick to condemn Jones and Laws, let Adams escape scot-free! It’s worse than hypocrisy, it’s complicity and total corruption!If Phil Adams made that assertion to most Americans, the American wouldn’t know what the hell he’s even talking about. We’ve never seen em, never heard of em.
When I was in Oz last year we were told that the cane toad was brought into the sugar producing region to control some dreaded cane beetle, which, apparently, they were quite successful at.
The locals hate them because they aren’t afraid of anything and they wind up in all kinds of strange places and they are quite ugly and poisonous to boot.
Makes me kinda wish they were an American invention.......Thus, through a combination of human folly and ecological incompatibility, the cane toad unwittingly played the penultimate trick on the residents of Queensland and took its first hops towards an unlikely dominance of the local environment.
Queenslanders beware: those toads have one more trick left up their sleeve.
You gave us Olivia Newton-John, so we’re even.

But we did. Surely you don’t think Prime Minister Harold Holt disappeared in December 1967 without CIA involvment?
Posted by Warmongering Lunatic on 2005 03 25 at 08:15 PM • permalinkUh oh. Phat Phil has found out (phound out?) our plan to take over Australia by infiltrating it with cane toads and Oscar broadcasts. I’m afraid he will have to be eliminated.
I know that will leave some of you broken-hearted at the loss of a major Australian figure of fun. To make up for it I’ll try to get Michael Moore installed as a columnist on one of our propaganda broadsheets once Australia has been absorbed into the American Christian Theo-Capitalist Hegemony.
Oh wait—I was saving Moore as punishment for those Australians who defied the reprogramming. Never mind.

Cain was probably a Karl Rove agent…
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 03 25 at 09:31 PM • permalinkDidn’t The Simpsons already blow the lid off that particular conspiracy?
Posted by technicolorwestern on 2005 03 25 at 10:42 PM • permalinkThis is typical.
America gets blamed for all the world’s poverty, conflict and corruption, and now they are being lumped with the consequences of some bright idea made by some fucking lab-coated genius in the thirties.
But what’s his problem with the Oscars? Were it not for the Oscars, there would be no self-flagellating hate-America celebrity stump speeches. What would Phil do then? He seems to have a problem with actors ‘mimicking’ people. They’re actors, Phil, it’s their job for crying out loud.
Bufo Marinus originates from Central and South America, and like the last feature film promoting other exports from that region ("The Motorcycle Diaries"), it is loathed, avoided like the plague and attacked viciously by everyone except phans of Phatty- I think there’s something in that. Has anyone got a photo of Phil catching insects, birds and small mammals with his tongue?
Holt was eaten by giant aquatic cane toads. Film at 11.
Posted by Mystery Meat on 2005 03 26 at 01:58 AM • permalinkThe Cane toad is also know as the Marine toadm Giant toad, Marine toad, Giant marine toad, Dominican toad, and spring chicken in Belize. In Bermuda they’re road toads. As in roadkill. Originally from Latin America they’ve been introduced, both accidentally and deliberately throught much of the world. In Florida, they’re notorious for eating dog food from the pooch’s bowls and many a retaliating canine has been killed bu their toxins.
KK — So it’s a question of whether the toads can reproduce fast enough to keep up with the increasing number of awards shows? Could be a close race…

Now wait a second! What about this issue? Doesn’t Phil know about the plight of those poor frogs/toads?!!?!?! All those frogs denied decent medical care, and he lowers them to the level of the Oscars?
This degrading of a deprived and oppressed species must cease! Phil has gone too far. I demand that the UN send a High Commissioner For Toadies to Australia immediately!!!
