A protester demands snow:
The man, dressed only in a pair of Speedos, approached the prime minister as he mingled with guests in the local RSL.
He shouted: “What are you doing about global warming? There is no snow, there is no snow”, before he was quickly bundled away by security staff into a nearby toilet.
Via Craigo, who notes: “The bloke’s a total idiot – Brown Mountain, which is only 50km from Bega, was covered in so much snow last week that the highway was closed for a day. If he wants to join a ski team he can drive 2 hours to Thredbo where there’s plenty of snow at the moment.” It’s been a fine winter for snow all over the place.

- The guy is obviously a fool. He must have thought the PM was Al Gore, who as quickly as you could say “Global Warming” would have blessed the man with plummetting temperatures and mountains of snow.
For the believers I’m sure Al Gore will one day be the cause of hell freezing over!Posted by Hank Reardon on 2007 07 05 at 02:17 AM • permalink
- I, too, shall protest at the beach in solidarity with Speedo Boy because it is just so unfair that loser states like Colorado and Wyoming and Oregon get ski resorts, and we in Florida have to settle for water skis and jet skis due to our global-warming caused lack of snow (even though it gets down to 70 degrees F sometimes at night). I blame Bush and his evil sidekick Cheney!Posted by SwampWoman on 2007 07 05 at 02:17 AM • permalink
- “There is no snow, there is no snow”.
Was he complaining of a cocaine drought?

- “There is no snow, there is no snow”
Was he making a Jedi like hand movement at the time?

- He was interviewed on JJJ yesterday afternoon, and even the idiot presenter was dumbfounded when he launched into his “no snow” spray; the ABC flack commented “but hasn’t this been a bumper year? Even started the season early???!!??”
Idiot in diktogs- “Yes, but last year was terrible”.
A classic example of the sort of gerbil that’s swallowed the Gore 419 without gagging; at least he’s been charged with assault (and I hope he still had his speedos on when they threw him in the watch-house).
Expect to see his buffoonery and attention-seking on youtube shortly- his cretinous offsider recorded the incident.
Whatever happened to the days when pigshit thick bogans used Big Brother or video’d arrest scuffles to gain notoriety.
- Everyone can rest assured that I am not going to follow Speedo Boy’s example and do my instructing at Thredbo this weekend in my budgie smugglers. The official weather forecast is for blizzard conditions, so wearing only budgie smugglers would guarantee I’d have three Adam’s apples.
- I’d like to see speedoboy on youtube. Somebody needs to do one of those computer animation things with him, her,the just poop sign, zombie’s whole collection, all madly dancing together like masturbatory monkees to a good dance beat. Done right, it would be art.Posted by dean martin on 2007 07 05 at 02:51 AM • permalink

I’ve just left a post for you on the other thread, but I’ve found you here
Great to see you!
As for snow – it’s a bit chilly in Sydney at the moment after a lovely day yesterday (temp of 21C was the same as London’s summer temp for the day)
It must be snowing around Oberon way

- The belief in AGW is entirely independent of actual physical evidence.
The AGW theory was postulated before there was any concrete evidence.
The ‘religion’ will survive irrespective of what the Earth’s climate does, in fact I think its adherents will become all the more vehement if the climate cools.
For an interesting history of AGW go here.

Thank you so much for posting that link – and I agree with you, it’s now a religion with a God, disciples and a congregation along with rituals and codes of behaviour

Great shame they didn’t call Blue Cow (not that far away) for a fridge semitrailer full of snow. This would have melted into a bucket while the Feds were working this ape over with a couple of blowtorches, and the resulting H2O used to flush the remains into the Bega River and thence into the Tasman Sea.Cheers

- “One of them, a 39-year-old man from nearby Wandella, disrupted traffic for two hours when he chained himself to the undercarriage of the truck by his neck.”
Smart.

- Obviously, an Aussie who believes in snow worries, mate. Or does he actually want a return to the White Australia Policy?Posted by andycanuck on 2007 07 05 at 11:01 PM • permalink
- Adding to the irony….
I am told that there was also apparently a full “Anti-Global Warming” protest out the front of the RSL where the PM was, but it dispersed pretty quicky when a frigid downpour of sleet hit them soon after the PM arrived.
