Why oh why do Labor funds play and rape at the Canberra Times?

Oh my giddy aunt. Some weeks (like this one or two) I need to take irony supplements and go to foreign libraries searching for literal translations, so it took a moment or two for the penny to drop. That’s atrocious!

I could probably trot out a few similar sins I’ve seen at the altar of bad QA, but as someone who uses many different media sources to get other people’s messages out there (including the CT), I’ll be like the parent who contemplated a sex change and then thought better of it: I’ll stay mum.

So I’ll vent my ‘need to have a shot-ed-ness’ at the first respondent.

Spectra, someone who “must know ass from elbow” is probably not in as much need as someone who “must know ass from ar$e”. An ass is a donkey. It’s only a dolt, a tool or something you sit on if you’re posting from the US of A.

(I’m sure this has been done before, but I did a survey of sorts with my kids’ friends this weekend and apparently 911 is the number to call in an emergency.)

I still reckon their “scum” caption in the Kingston flats story was the best ever.

At least they’d be throwing money at a section of the community that would enjoy being played with..

At least the website gets updated more than once a day now, it’s a pity that you have to sort through about 3 pages to find a local story.

Screenshot – or it never happened.

None of these will ever beat seeing the Phillipines employment agency quite happily advertising as Pacific Rim Jobs.
Their website is now long gone, but it had such wonderful advertising and headings as “Are you wanting to work in hospitality? Pacific Rim Jobs!” or “Looking for work in the entertainment industry? Pacific Rim Jobs!”

Reminds me of the amusing web address for the US website “Therapist Finder”:

Rapists for kids with disabilities no less. Do they get piece rates or a per diem?

That sort of thing is in the fashion and lifestyle section, Spectra!
