Further, er, highlights from the weekend’s G20 shenanigans, courtesy of Sharon Lapkin:
This fellow obviously has nothing against globalisation, considering he’s globalised himself to the extent he can no longer zip his pants.
As is traditional, the nation’s lamest white boy turned up in support of Hezbollah.
He’s got the green maraca. He’s got the crystal stick. He’s got teeth seemingly installed at random. He’ll bring down capitalism.
The date on his shirt possibly refers to these amendments to the Food Standards Code. About anything else suggested by this image, I do not wish to think. Earlier G20 items here, here, here, and here. Indymediawatch has a fine roundup.

- That’s not Santa. OK, you got me, I confess I visited, but just to watch the freaks. Some female customs agent confiscated my shirt and tie—I think she wanted to see why the call me Shaky.Posted by Shaky Barnes on 2006 11 19 at 11:27 AM • permalink

Nor it seems can he find and display his compiss.

WOW! An albino ‘Bollah…rare…but evidently, on the increase.
He’s got the green maraca.
How can you tell, this is only a head shot?
He’s got the crystal stick.
Ahhh, yes…it’s rather a long one too and looks as though he has a French Tickler on it, but I thought it was “green”?
He’s got teeth seemingly installed at random.
Would hate to see this porker smile, after a meal with corn on the cob and barbecue ribs.

Yes, finally a true picture of the American TV hit show, Sex and the City. Happy to see this, now I know why I never have watched it.
- Picture #1(covering eyes and screaming inside)Please for the love of Gaia and a more beautiful earth, put on a shirt and cover up that case of Dunlaps’ Disease*!!
Picture #4 Look, “Why Don’t We Do It In the Road?” is a song lyric… not an imperative. Just get a hotel room, or at least a large box under a highway overpass!
*Dunlap… his belly done lap over his belt.

- Those are some butt ugly people. Reminds me of a Democratic national convention I witnessed in San Fran back in the 80’s. It was a people watchers paradise. I laughed my ass off when I saw the largish group with big signs that read: “Commies for Christ.” That was one of the finest times I’ve had. Just watchin the weirdos.
There must be something about bad teeth and being a nut job. They seem to go hand in hand.

What I want to know is why these people dress as if they’re working as extras at a very bad C-level sci-fi movie set?
What part of anti-globalization requires someone to not wear a tie?

- Or one could make the case that they are, in fact, coyote ugly. Being coyote ugly is about as bad as it gets in the south. The joke goes that a guy wakes up the next morning with his arm under an ugly woman. He would rather chew his arm off than risk waking her up.Posted by Kathy from Austin on 2006 11 19 at 02:10 PM • permalink
- I can understand why the guy in the first photo whould be against global warming. Given his girth I doubt that he would be able to outrun the rising ocean levels.
He might make a tasty meal for a starving polar bear though.

A 28 year old man will appear in a Melbourne court this morning to face charges in relation to a violent protest outside the G20 summit on the weekend.
Monash University student, Akim Sari, of no fixed address, faced an out-of-sessions hearing late yesterday after he allegedly damaged a police brawler van and stole its log book…
Police Association secretary Senior Sergeant Paul Mullett said officers lives were put at risk during the violence because they were told to take a soft approach to protesters…

- Since I’m butt-ugly, I don’t feel qualified to judge people’s looks. I suspect many other readers are in a similar situation. I also have a soft spot for pale young boys (boy in yellow scarf).
However, I will criticise the methods of these protestors. As far as one can tell, they are more interested in getting off on violence than engaging in dialogue. They are thus no better than a pack of hoons who go on a rampage after going to the pub. These buggers forced the closure of part of Collins Street, which really played havoc with my shopping plans.
- RE: the photos…
If globalization causes genetic deformities, then these guys have good reason to protest.

- But I am confused. The G20 was goping on while our dear PMSH was at an APEC meeting in Vietnam. So who was at this G20 meeting? Whyn were these people protesting?
Or was this a clever faint by the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy to dupe the idiots into protesting in an irrelevent city?

- #35 In my office this morning, a brief chat ensued about Akim Sari (still a student at 28, eh, Akim?). As the resident RWDB, I was pointing out that he has ‘form’, at which one of the resident moonbats started muttering darkly about how the poor young dear will be penalized for having a ‘foreign-sounding name’. More of what passes for thought on the Left.

- Their true ugliness is the result of the unexamined belief that they alone speak for everyone else in the world. It’s debatable whether 18th Century colonialists were as smug in their sense of righteousness as this bunch of religious zealots. I defend their right to protest and dress as they like, but they have no right to act violently or to prevent others from going about their daily lives.
- Rob, we got the joke, and it was a good one.
They’re utterly gutless hiding their faces. If you want to protest, you should own your views.
The pale young boy is showing his face. I’ll give him kudos – or something – for that. In a few years time he’ll be the first person on the ALP’s Senate ticket or something. Most people grow out of such activism. He looks to middle-class to continue the cause for too long.
I saw a bunch of them on the tram on Friday afternoon as I was going to pick up tickets for the theatre at Southbank, and they were all excited and jumpy and chatty. Supporting the right to protest is cool and I’m all in support of it, but acting like “pork chops”(Taylor 2006) is another thing.

- The irony here about this anarchist exhibitionism, is that they don’t seem to realise the extend to which they they have been co-opted by The Man. As has been noted before the public would not pay attention to the machinations of the fat cats when they can be easily distracted by these ugly clowns. There are any number of problems with globalisation but any old line trade unionist in the George Meany mould would have a hard time raising issues like the difficulties older workers have in adjusting to the pace of change while enduring a real cut in their wages Or a nationalist who is concerned about the extend to which globaloney undermines his country’s independance while these ass clowns undermine every discussion with their antics.

- #47: I’m with Dave Surls. These idiots look like they’ve been beaten savagely with the proverbial ugly stick. In fact, I believe their political organization is probably a sort of “Last Chance” dating service. Although I’m pretty sure that the guy in the first picture who’s carrying around his unborn twin brother is going to strike out.
- “Are they on unemployment payments…”
Nah, most of them are investment bankers, and brain surgeons.

The last picture, of the two spooning plug-uglies, almost makes me want to enter a monastery – except I’d probably run into a fair number of fat friars resembling the guy in picture #1 (although at least in a monastery, he’d be obliged to wear a robe, or perhap a pup-tent, over that blubber).

- Hmmm, well i don’t have as much time for these @sswipes as some of you Voltaire inclined types…
I’d only go so far as to say that these people have the right to protest, just as the police SHOULD (and if I had anything to do with it WOULD) have the right to use rubber bullets and water cannons on the first pack of scum that looked the wrong way and assaulted the liberties of others, including disrupting the friggin’ traffic and making life harder for everyone else…
At the first opportunity these scum would be laid into, and if your one of Tim Costello or Bono’s innocent ethical bystanders and caught a few rounds, TOUGH LUCK!!! Don’t hang out with such useless sh!ts…
AS to the career student (malingerer/d!ckhead) Sari, any decent educational establishment would cancel his enrollment and hopefully erase all credits for being such an @sshole along with the other dregs he obviously coordinated his actions with…. If he wasn’t a permenant residence but here on some visa, this would be a prime definition of an action that would have his @ss warming a seat on the first plane out of Oz charged to his expense with any seized belongings he has here… And he’d be told not to come back if he knows whats good for him, or its a long stay in a detention centre!!!
I think after one or two of such responses, the behaviour of these protesters would improve markedly, for the benefit of everyone involved…

Jeez, I just hate like hell to be a nitpicker, but I have to. There are varying degrees and, in technical terms, you’ve described a One Coyote, where some slutty manchild does indeed chew off his arm so as not to wake the Yuma-rillo he crawled into bed with the night before. Now, should she be SObeastial/buttugly/humongous/alloftheabove that he’s irreparably scarred by the experience, he performs the surgical procedure known as a TWO Coyote, in which he chews off his remaining arm to prevent himself from EVER repeating the experience.
This is equally applicable to the female of the species who has frequent run-ins with tequila and ‘cowboys’.
