Re: Robin Williams
 

I am with you on this one. Most of the films he has been in are boring too. Saying that K Rudd has over reacted and has made himself look stupid.

Re: Robin Williams
 

I thought that RW comments hit the nail on the head-it was hilarious-bang on ha ha. KRudd just looks like a total loser...

Re: Robin Williams
 

It was a joke but this situation personifies how the Aussies are ( my OH & his family included) they can hand out the racsism but cannot accept it. Mr Rudd as leader of Australia should have behaved like a man , turned the other cheek and ignored it.Unfortunately he chose to slur the inhabitants of Alabama. Very mature!!!!!!!

Re: Robin Williams
 

Actually in GQ Magazine this issue there was a survey of which prejudice do you think the average Australian man is MOST guilty of in 2010.

Results :

39% Racism
23% Homophobia
13% Religious Intolerance
13% Sexism
7% Classism
3% Political prejudice
2% Agism

Frankly I would have to agree. The average Queenslander is, to which Mr Rudd is would like to think he is *cough*, summed up pretty much by that imo. Racist undertones stalk the streets of suburbia in Brisbane for sure.

Re: Robin Williams
 

Agreed. He's eccentric for sure and incredibly clever and funny!

Re: Robin Williams
 

I'm just impressed that his Sydney audience got the Darwin reference

Re: Robin Williams
 

Its his stand up comedy routines i really dont find funny.Looks like we're in the minority though :(

Re: Robin Williams
 

RW is very funny sometimes. I found it funny what he said about Australians. It was only a joke. He likes to joke about anything. Can't string a serious sentence together. That's not so funny.

K.Rudd shouldn't have answered the question. Why do journalists have to ask so many dumb questions?

Re: Robin Williams
 

RW said aussies laughed at the same joke when used in Australia..

Re: Robin Williams
 

I'm sure they did. How does Rodney Rude compare to Chubby Brown?

Re: Robin Williams
 

I actually watched RW on Letterman that night. Unusual for me as I loathe Letterman, to the point that when the show starts I turn the T.V off regardless. That particular night as the baldie twat's band played the intro & the voice over guy does the Heeeeeeeereeeeeeeesssss Daviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid......... I said to Deb "Not on my T.V"
Deb replied "Robbie Williams is on tonight, I want to watch it!"
On a loser, I stayed at the Computer while she watched. Wasn't long before the penny dropped & she groaned that it wasn't Robbie Williams [fat dancer] but Robin ha ha Williams comedy genius ;)
"I'll watch this as he's a funny guy" Says I
Deb sat through it & neither of us found anything offensive or racist just funny Williams stuff;)
Krudd is a wet blanket, for a local Sunshine Coast boy he's a bit of a knob:blink:

Re: Robin Williams
 

Even the High Court of Australia won't put independence before 1920.

Re: Robin Williams
 

I think it's fair to say that Aussies are like English rednecks. They don't like being the butt of the joke either but they sure like to give it out. :sneaky:

Re: Robin Williams
 

I'm with you. He can be funny sometimes but at others it's just painful waiting for something funny which may or may not arrive.
