Local youth are at it again with ill-advised ventures onto Facebook.

The latest corker being “drink driving should be a sport” set up by one Brendon Cooper.

Looking for 100 cars for a “drink driving marathon” Brendon advises on the event’s wall what the plan is:

    the idea is to get the furthest before u get done .and each thing u hit gives u more points lol … asholes got me 2 streets from home was going so well too

It should be noted that some of the 159 to date who have joined the group did so to tell Brendon what a bad idea it all is. Which elicited responses like this:

    shut up hoe im gunning for your bedroom wall when i go out next … f***ing live a little you f***ing p*ssy

I’ll be approaching Brendon for comment and will get back to you.

Parents of driving age children would be well advised to check their little darlings haven’t signed up.

UPDATE: Brendon says, now, that the whole thing is meant to be a joke. I’ll leave it as an exercise for the readers to judge how funny it is.

yebbut, the reason we’re generally so poor at driving while drunk is that we don’t learn to drive while drunk… see?

someone point me to facebook – there’s a page needs starting…

Do you think they might go for our paddock idea though?

what’s funny is that kids these days are stupid enough to do something like this.

+100%

Not all jokes are funny to everyone.

The chaser boys have learned that lesson.

Yep, if it was really funny, they’d have stuck a “LOL” with the hahaha.

cind said :

hahaha yes its a JOKE!!!!!!!!!!

It’s not actually funny.

hahaha yes its a JOKE!!!!!!!!!!

Ha Ha Ha,

Can’t wait to see the police read this out at his court appearance, the judge will love it.

…and a note to his laywer, you can now double your fees.

Good luck Brendon

Unfortunately, by looking at the group members a majority of them are not “kids” and seem to be mid-twenties or so.

I hope this is a joke, and if not, I hope the people who are thinking of planning the “drink driving marathon” take themselves out cleanly with no cost to property (other than their own), the government, the community and other people on the roads.

Think of it as gene pool clensing.

We don’t have freedom of speech, spideydog. We have not legal or mandated right to it, and our myriad laws militate against it very clearly. We like the idea, but not the reality.

oh man, we have mutual friends! FAIL!

#28 whilst yes it is disgraceful, shutting the group down is only another form of censorship. I’m sure people are adult enough to realise that it’s a stupid group and most probably a joke or someone using a poor humour attempt.

Freedom of speech can only go so far ….. there are some (very few admittedly) people in the community that may actually think this is a good idea and do it …. it only takes one person to take this as the real deal, drink and drive to “hit as much as you can before getting caught” to kill someone. Would you be happy to tell the family of a killed loved one that we didn’t shut down a group that incited drink driving, because it may infringe their free speech !!!

i laughed a bit at the ‘related groups’ listed on the page. typically these groups have a similar demographic of members:

# Support Matthew Johns

# Summernats PETITION

# Burnouts should be legal

Oh good grief!

As for a summernats petition, they don’t need names you silly bogan, they need MONEY! Lots of it! they have chic’s huge salary to finance.

What a chav.

I’m sure a psych could argue Coopers ramblings really constitute some kind of macho bravado masking deep seated sexual inadequacies.

I bet this Cooper and his mates really get smashed out their tiny minds while out bush then sit in a circle while naked, coyly smiling at each other. Again, prove me wrong.

that’s disgraceful – hope they shut the group down and even better make the individual do a sober driving course or take him to the morgue to show him what can and often does when drink drivers get on the road.

Indeed. For those who are unaware, a troll is someone deliberately inciting rage/disagreement online, just for the sake of it, from the safety behind their keyboards. Pay no attention 🙂

Which would mean joining facebook.

Unfortunately the group doesn’t fall into any of the reportable categories

Nudity or Pornography
Attacks individual or group
Drug Use
Violence

I suppose you could argue it’s drug use though.

The AFP could get in on the fun to and set up a permanent RBT outside his place of dwelling and test him every time he drive out his driveway.

Now that would be funny.

It’s like an episode from ‘My Name is Earl’. I’m thinking of that one where the suburban dare-devil tied himself to a chair and strapped – was it fireworks – to the chair to launch, rocket style, to the moon. Chuckle chuckle. I’m so laughing AT them, not with them. (Dummbies)

I’m with phototext, this could be fun. Does anyone have a very large paddock spare? They could get hammered, and roar around randomly, adn the spectators (us) could place bets. Some random obstacles, perhaps… it might be fun to roll a giant Woodstock can down on them (the sponsor, more appropriate than Cougar as it’s cheaper) and see what they did.

The last car left driveable would be the winner, much like in the Polka at school on rainy sport days. He’d win some more alcohol, of course, which he’d be too sick to drink by this stage, so we’d help him with it. Win-Win.

“And if you all were to log on to the group, go to the bottom of the page and hit “Report Group”, Face Book might just do something about it.”

can’t you report a group for facebook to remove it? would have thought facebook admins wouldn’t be very impressed with this kind of group…

Yeah, they have no sense of humour at all, I’m still sulking after they declined my request to change my name to “Mahhoganee Lush”.

And if you all were to log on to the group, go to the bottom of the page and hit “Report Group”, Face Book might just do something about it.

As a sport it would be much the same as the NRL. Drunken twats doing stupid things and being arested.

The AFP could get in on the fun to and set up a permanent RBT outside his place of dwelling and test him every time he drive out his driveway.

shut up hoe im gunning for your bedroom wall

why would a garden implement require a bedroom wall? and what is soooo tough about driving into a shed housing tools? [is it a very intellectual attempt at ‘bloke’ self-referencing..?]

can’t you report a group for facebook to remove it? would have thought facebook admins wouldn’t be very impressed with this kind of group…

Is there a law against inciting people to break the law?

Deadmandrinking12:24 pm 24 Jun 09

I think the photo indicates it might be a joke.

“Maybe we should encourage them to do it offroad”

Perhaps it could be a proper event. A yearly drunken rally bash, sponsored by Cougar Bourbon. No ambulances in attendance of course, that would be cheating. The competition involves getting plastered and driving round the track until all competitors are dead.

Evolution and entertainment all rolled into one marketable event.

My goodness! I hope this fool doesn’t hurt anyone.

VYBerlinaV8_the_one_they_all_copy11:56 am 24 Jun 09

Maybe we should encourage them to do it offroad, the idea being that:
1) There’s a far, far lower probability of an innocent person being involved;
2) They will be less likely to be stopped by cops; and
3) They’ll be further from help when accidents happen, thus thinning the shallow end of the gene pool more effectively.

Excellent, I do enjoy a bit of bogan baiting. They’re so cute when they get all righteous. Like a toddler after too much red cordial.

Right, I now know to brace myself for when my cordial-deprived little toddler yells “shut up hoe im gunning for your bedroom wall when i go out next … f***ing live a little you f***ing p*ssy!”
Thanks for the heads up 🙂

This could be a great idea, from a eugenics point-of-view.

“I’ll be approaching Brendon for comment and will get back to you”

Does a Flame of the Week count if it was blatantly solicited like this?

Have a look at his profile. He looks like the type that would think that this is funny.

> Got to be a joke.

Could be…although that southern cross tatt may suggest that yes, this guy really is that big a loser (or should I say “looser” so that he’ll understand should he happen to read this thread).

Got to be a joke.

Good to see he has the mandatory southern cross tattoo, loser!

Ahh, I do have a mutual friend though…… not anymore!
