Seinfeld in Parliament - #auspol mash up

I have got to share this hilarious Seinfeld meets Australian Politics mashup created by youtuber Huw Parkinson.  

He takes Seinfeld heads and script and super imposes it over #auspol members and proceedings, and the end result is brilliant.

For those overseas the "Hello Newman" reference relates to the guy to the right of screen Queensland Premier Campbell Newman and the tone that Seinfeld always used with Newman fits so perfectly into #auspol.

The creator also has other #auspol themed videos up on his channel including Plamer United Party themed Jacqui Lambie Ghost Busters and Clive Palmer Arrested Development.

Check him out its well worth a watch

Daily Dalek webcomic

Here's a post for my fellow Whovians - The Daily Dalek a webcomic by tonecartoons
http://www.tonecartoons.co.uk/blog/wp-content/gallery/days101-150/day-124.jpg
The concept behind this webcomic is quite simple - a new single frame dalek based cartoon every single day
http://www.tonecartoons.co.uk/blog/wp-content/gallery/days151-200/day-158.jpg
The comic often plays on well known events/themes/shows like the Mary Poppins take off above or the Garfield take off below
http://www.tonecartoons.co.uk/blog/wp-content/gallery/days151-200/day-172.jpg
There is lots of other Doctor Who references in the cartoons beside the Daleks (i.e odie as K9 above)

If you are a Whovian then I thoroughly recommend this webcomic to you, also check out some of the other webcomics that tonecartoons produces

7 News Brisbane make (bad) onscreen changes


7 News Brisbane have made the biggest shake up to their on screen line up in decades, relegating their main presenting duo of Rod Young & Kay McGrath to Friday and Saturday nights only. And I am NOT happy.

At the same time they have brought in former 10 news presenter Bill McDonald who they have paired with weekend presenter Sharon Gidella.  The new team will present the news Sunday to Thursday, while Gidella will also present a new Queensland version of Today Tonight, 7's "current affairs" programme.

I think this is the worst decision that 7 could've made.  They lead the rating's in QLD and have done for sometime, but I think there is a good chance of this slipping with the main presenting team being relegated to a "weekend" role.

Don't get me wrong I have a lot of respect for Sharon Gidella and think she is a wonderful presenter, but I don't think the fact they were able to pick up and ex news reader from a rival network, is a reason to make such a huge change.

Time will tell if this decision is a good one, or one that loses the channel viewers and hands the ratings crown to 9 news, I for one will give it ago for a week, but since I usually don''t get to see the news on Fridays, Saturday's & Sunday's I wont be seeing Rod & Kay and therefore doubt I will  last long.  I wont be off to 9 as I think they are still an inferior product, I think I'll just stop watching and get my news from the interwebs.
