The Courier Mail: the paper for 'The Smart State'

While we were resizing this gem of Ghettobrizbayne talent we started blacking out their eyes so they could at least hold on to a fragment of dignity after The Courier Mail published these nuggets of pure ghetto gold. Then realised, we don’t have to because these people actually not only put their names but their FACES to these quotes and gave their permission for publication around the entire state and even some confused northern NSW towns.

The two Kathryn’s both agree that yeah, climate change kind of blows.
The old one is surprisingly worried about the old people (‘We need to look to the future and how we can look after the old people’). Which in Baby Boomer talk means 'we need to get the young people to look into how they're going to keep us in the manner in which we've become accustomed'.
Way to get us in this mess guys– nice hat by the way but folded rims were so mid nineties. You live in freekin Clayfield anyway; when the oceans rise they ain’t gonna get anywhere near Forest Place retirement castle.

But people, if you’re anywhere near Toowong Village…We're sorry, you’re stuffed.

Nick Griffiths who listed his age as 26 – perhaps in cocker spaniel years – hasn’t really thought about global warming a lot since ‘it’s not going to happen for years yet’ and by the looks of him we think he’ll be long gone in ten years – which is when the altruistic Al Gore says things might start getting a little toasty slash rainy anyway. Nice one, Nick. See you in hell.

But change is apparently A-okay with Daisey (with an ‘e’) Tondori who thinks we should all turn those frowns upside-down and start looking at the positives of global warming.

At the moment it’s really hot and maybe if it rains a bit more, that will be great”.

Right on Daisey, sing it sister! Hey, why don’t you fly over to New Orleans and tell all those whinging lower class people to stop crying, stealing things and raping each other and start dancing in the street? Or even lead them in a chorus of Travis’s ‘Why Does It Always Rain on Me?’

Or Tom Petty’s ‘Louisiana Rain’?

Or Albert Hammond’s ‘It Never Rains in Southern California’?

But DEFINITELY

Milli Vanilli’s ‘Blame It on the Rain’.
