Racist Australian Senator egged by hero kid

ChaosEngine says...

@newtboy that is exactly the kind of thing I was thinking of.

As for the kid (whose real name is Will Connolly) the defence fund is now around $30000, and part of the fund is earmarked for "buying more eggs". Will has stated he intends to donate most of the money to victim support*, once again being an absolutely top bloke. He's already been jokingly nominated for "Honorary New Zealander of the year".

Also to put his attack into context... in terms of victims per capita, if this had happened in the US, it would be the statistical equivalent of 9/11.

*there has already been nearly NZ$5m raised for the victims. https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/christchurch-shooting-victims-fund

"Asians in Media" Talk by Natalie Tran, aka communitychannel

ChaosEngine says...

Great talk. I love Nat, she's genuinely funny.

I have to say that it surprises me to hear her refer to "Asians" as a single group. There are massive cultural differences between Indians, Chinese, Japanese, Thais, etc. No-one refers to Germans, French, Italians and English as "Europeans".

I also don't really think there's anything wrong with making fun of your culture. Many of my favourite comedians do that all the time (Dylan Moran and Billy Connolly for example). There's a world of difference between recognising and laughing at your own cultural quirks and making racist stereotype jokes.

Pretty much this. Swearing can be really funny. Billy Connolly and Jim Jeffries are both excellent at swearing, but this just feels like the most boring boorish 80s humour.

It's just not that funny.

I never really got this whole thing. I mean I guess I get the swearing part of it, but he's no Lenny Bruce in terms of breaking down barriers. Nor is he as funny.

Although, maybe that's it. He wasn't as funny.

Ever since hearing that bit by another comedian about how anything sounds funny with a Scottish accent... Billy Connolly just sounds like he is telling random stories, and saying "fuck" occasionally.
