A story that's got the lot

Every now and then you read a story in the media that ticks all the boxes for a great news story: exotic location, bizarre occurrence, danger and crime. This story from the Northern Territory News is the 'complete package', involving masturbation, dangerous driving, drugs and firearms in the Northern Territory. Nothing out of the ordinary for the Territory I hear you say.

NT news

But it has definitely livened up my slow news day.

P.S. Love the headline from the NT News

What a goose. Everyone knows that you have to be doing between 60 and 70ks an hour when you film yourself masturbating, otherwise the backdrop is blurred. No wonder the Australian Film Industry is up Shit Creek.

Amateurs.

when they told him they were going to search his Holden sedan, he said "go right ahead''

Smooth.

Is Shit Creek the follow-up to Wolf Creek, Perseus?

Is the front page pixelated for a reason?

Loose Shunter said...

Catlick, the pixellation is there because even in the NT, the accused in a court case (even if they are an armed and stupid, unlicensed, drug-smuggling onanist) has some right to having their identity protected - even if the newspaper publishes their name, age and suburb of residence. And who said justice was without mercy?

So it's a game then? We get some, but not all the clues.

Loose Shunter said...

That's right Catlick. Wonder how long it'll take for the accused to upload the vid. to YouTube?

Ramon Insertnamehere said...

I think it's because the matter is still before the courts.

I'm waiting for a bright bogun to appear on The New Inventors with a under car mounted dope carrier/gun rack, accessible from the interior, with a coffee cup holder/fleshlight attachment. Oh, and a phone/camera mount.

with a coffee cup holder/fleshlight attachment

Hmmm, 'fleshlight attachment' - all the better for filming self-abuse while fanging it down the Stuart Highway perhaps? Brilliant Catlick, Brilliant!
