This from Senate Question Time yesterday:
SENATOR STEPHEN CONROY: I am pleased to inform the Senate that the online internet weblog Crikey has sold over 12 of the Fuckofftober t-shirts created by their in-house humourist Fast Dog with a Broom. These ROFLsome examples of sportive outerwear are a witty response to the ABC’s totally lame in-house campaign to cheer people up known as Respectember.
As the Minister responsible for the national broadcaster and thus a person who might reasonably be held to account for the entire laughable Respectember fiasco, I am tendering my resignation to the Prime Minister, effective immediately.
That’s right it’s already mid-Respectember (how do you feel about that? No, really, your reaction is important to us), so Fuckofftober is coming soon and we want ABC employees (and their friends) to be a part of it.
Send us a photo of you or yours wearing a Fuckofftober t-shirt while at the ABC or in some sort of identifiable ABC environment. (A screenshot of Leigh Sales wearing one while hosting Lateline Business would be entirely acceptable.)
Send us a publishable photo and we will send you a pair of First Dog Kevin Rudd’s Pets socks. Yes. Also, first one to get their Fuckofftober shirt on the telly (send us the clip), wins a free Crikey subscription too.
If you can get you and your t-shirt in a photo with Mark Scott you get a free First Dog cartoon all about how awesome you are. And socks. And a Crikey sub.
Remember though, we will be publishing the photos … so do what you need to do, and take care.
You can buy the t-shirt here.
You can see the original Respectember cartoon here.
Send your entries to boss@crikey.com.au with “photo competition” in the subject field.
Completely shameless. 🙂 🙂
P.S.
If you really want Leigh Sales to wear your T-Shirt on Lateline Business,
then you’ll have to produce a “racing model” in pure satin.
First dog with a broom? What is he a witch??? Now there’s a thougth. . .
Well your T-shirt blatant language has finally put me over the edge . You produce articles with spelling to blank out offensive language and then you allow this obscene print to be accessed by my children or my parents . This has just happened so whoever is the smart alec that allowed this you have lost me as a ongoing contributor , someone needs a lesson at the top that we do not need shock language , it only diminishes your reputation and your principles .
Very weak act of censorship , someone needs a lesson at the top .
‘Fast Dog with a Broom’ ROFL ROFL ROFL 🙂
I’ll get my photo taken ( a winner for sure, ROFL) but I’d want a free Tshirt first …
PS I’ve already got the socks … they don’t fit.
