Is Fed not the one that cried like a baby at losing a match the other day then? Although to be fair he is gracious to other players he has defeated.

Robin Williams was just having a joke - the part about the open bar in heaven when they created the duck-billed platypus was hilarious.:rofl:
Krudd just got his knickers in a knot, thought all aussies would have a humour bypass about it and tried to beat him at his own game - forgetting that he is not funny and Robin Williams is...:rofl:

Aussies are English criminals not English Rednecks.

I think the PM needs a humour transplant. :rolleyes:

As a diplomatic response (the only one he seems capable of giving unscripted) that is, indeed, a spectacularly bad one.

Although Australian citizenship only happened in 1949 - until then they were British subjects.

I only really see the PM getting upset. I don't know why he would, as a PM, even comment on what a comedian from another country has to say. Talk about getting bogged down in things that don't matter in the scheme of things... and to respond with a comment about Alalbama is absurd.

Robin Williams was more commenting on the sound of the Aussie accent ... not the mental state of the average aussie.... it was a funny joke.

btw... Aussie rednecks have nothing on american rednecks ..

Pathetic attempt by KDudd to deflect public interest in his woeful attempt of being a leader,he has cracked it 'cause the UN have filled their qouta of clowns.
Also,having worked in the Southern States(Ms,La,Tx) the term "Redneck" has another meaning to it for locals.
How would the PC people complain of KDuurrds description on N*ggars in Alabama?
Grow up KMudd.
And those Aussies all "Upset and in a furore"
Please.
Pathetic thin skinned Nanny State devotees:frown:
It was humour,and funny as well!!

Thats what I like about comedy,same as music,different tastes.
To me RW is one of the most funniest people in the World,yet others detest him.
Too me,I have never heard a funny female comedian,I have tried, but talking of menstruation is their funniest gag?!?
Big Brother,Master Chef,Who Can Cook,Dancing With Tools,etc etc make me ill,unintelligent brain dead popular con job,but they are all ratings winners -so I must be wrong then?
Different horses.............
But the best fun I have had is reading the waffle of "Concerned Aussie of Melbourne" posting on the Murdoch Press "Sook Forums"supporting KMudd and denegrating another nation without even watching,or hearing,the skit.:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
