Tourism Queensland has come up with a new campain, you can see the video here.

Is it a wise choice to pick THAT song? The original title is Hey hey we are the monkeys.

I wonder what kind of a message we send to the outside world with that song?

A PROSTITUTE yesterday told how a US Marine tore off his condom, said “I’m going to finish you off like a real man” and raped her.

She said she told Davis she did not usually have sex for the whole half hour and he replied: “No, I’m going to f..k you. I’m going to finish you off like a real man.”

He then forced her to have sex without a condom for 30 seconds, she said. “He just went from being a normal guy to really aggressive.”

Davis’s lawyer Colin Hazelwood said his client denied taking the condom off and should not be judged for having sex with a prostitute. “It’s a court of law, not a court of morals,” he said.

Well Mr. Hazelwood, he is on trial for rape and is not judged for having sex with a prostitute. Rape just in case you forgot is forced sex without consent. For rape there should be only one punishment. I can hear some saying, come on he was drunk, you can not be so brutal and so on. Wrong. If a person drinks and does not know right from wrong, it is the persons fault and should not be forgiven. Rape is capital crime and need to be punished as such.

THEY were the making of your grandmother and they didn’t do those girls in Little House on the Prairie any harm either.

So it shouldn’t be much of a surprise that research shows today’s cossetted children need be given daily tasks to encourage them to be responsible.

Today’s parents are reluctant to set youngsters too many jobs and instead give them only trivial duties. But chores can teach children to be organised and show regard for others, the study suggests.

Hey, most parents already teach these little darlings what chores to do:

Disrespect elders

Disrespect teachers

Disrespect parents

Disrespect laws

Ignore rule

Run wild and destroy whatever you like

And i case you forgot, THAT is our future generation we are talking about here.

A QUEENSLAND teenager has been charged with the sexual assault of four women over a three-month period.

Townsville police said the 17-year-old was picked up following an attack on a 35-year-old woman in Ross River Rd, Cranbrook, about 2.50am (AEST) yesterday.

The woman managed to escape by spraying her attacker with a can of deodorant and punching him in the chest, police said.

How would he feel in a woman’s prison after those ladies had their way with him?

Twenty five years hard labour if you ask me!

ACTOR Edward Woodward, famous for roles including Australian feature Breaker Morant, US series The Equalizer and cult thriller The Wicker Man, has died.

Our heart goes out to his family. We have lost a great actor and an even greater man. You will never be forgotten. Edward Woodward RIP

A man from Peru who eats metal has had a large number of nails and other scrap metal removed from his stomach by doctors.

‘They call me the hardware store,’ Requelme Abanto said from his hospital bed in northern Peru.

Doctors in the city of Cajamarca say they removed 1.5lb of metal from Abanto’s stomach, including nails, coins, and rusted copper wire and scrap metal.

Doctors are now trying to find out if he has a screw loose.

Police say a low-flying pelican distracted a driver in Texas, causing him to veer off a road and drive his million-dollar sports car into a salt marsh.

La Marque police Lt. Greg Gilchrist says the man claimed he lost concentration while driving his French-built Bugatti Veyron on Wednesday because the bird swooped into sight.

Gilchrist says the driver dropped his phone, reached down to pick it up and strayed into the brackish water in La Marque, about 35 miles southeast of Houston.

Police took his phone and stuck it up his…. It is reported that he drives much better now.

Some people will think this idea really takes the pee – The National Trust is encouraging its staff to urinate on big hay bales in a bid to save on water and energy.

The conservation charity says that the result also creates the ‘perfect compost’.

Male employees have been issued with latex aprons after it was noticed that most urinated onto their chest…..

ERRI Irwin paid tribute to her late husband Steve in memorable fashion yesterday.

She became an official Aussie.

With Steve Irwin Day in full swing yesterday, Terri, an American by birth, surprised the 5000-plus crowd by being naturalised in the Crocuseum.

With children Bindi and Robert at her side, she pledged her allegiance to the nation she has called home for almost 20 years.

Home? She spend most of her time in the US, pushing the little girl into a money making career instead of allowing her teh childhood Bindi never had?

Strange things happen, but I am sure there is a well paying plan behind it.

IF only David John Back had chosen to walk 200 metres instead of driving.

His friend Toowoomba woman Jill Cupples would still be alive and a Rockhampton judge wouldn’t have sentenced him to 2½ years in jail yesterday.

Back, 33, caused the school teacher’s death in March when a group of friends was preparing to drive to a party after a night of boozing at a pub.

Back jumped in the driver seat of his Volkswagen van parked in the middle of Pelican Street at Longreach, 680km west of Rockhampton.

Ms Cupples was standing beside the van about to hop into the rear.

Back started the engine but instead of selecting first gear he got reverse.

He turned the steering wheel to drive right and reversed about two or three metres, hitting Ms Cupples with the front passenger door and knocking her to the ground.

The people in the van felt the vehicle drive over Ms Cupples.

He was drunk, he tried to drive AND he killed a person. For that he get 2 1/2 years? What a joke, a farce.
