Sick joke, but I would think the person using the toilet seat, would have the common sense to (a) check the seat first, and (b) put something on it (e.g. toilet paper). I know I always do. I never want my bare bottom to come in direct contact with any public toilet seat in the first place.

Why do Australians do such things?

"Why do Australians do such things?".

For example, what else do they do? You sound like the proverbial fountain of knowledge. Probably, your insights into Australia and its culture will astound us.

Why do people have to hold such stereotypes?

Superlib is merely mocking all those that have studied American modern culture. Now that the shoe is on the other foot it's funny to see the response. You are correct Betting, why do they hold such stereotypes?

This just wouldn't happen in East Asia. Folks would simply lay out bog roll onto the seat, or get on the toilet and crouch down, unless the seat looks really clean.

We all sit on toilet seats, regardless of WESTERN nationality, so SuperLib's comment is merely an immature response to the fact that he cannot post rationally these days. If he were tomorrow to sit on such a seat and we were to bash him for it he would say something moronic like we are 'non-patriots' or that as non-Americans we have no right to post about his toilet status.

Yesh, light hearted comment slapped with some heavy handed accusations.

No, betting is right on in asking why SuperLib would make such a comment and it's amusing that you feel into the trap of trying to defend the indefensible. At the very, very least this is SuperLib's attempt to get back at non-Americans who have said they think things like Iraq were a mistake.

Mary mother of god man! Its an artical about somebody gluing people's bums to a toilet seat and you've already brought up Iraq! You've got to be going for some kind of record or something.

Cairns local government official Di Forsyth said the man, who was not identified, was not injured but was “extremely embarrassed” by his experience.

Here smith I'll get you started. Ahem, I think he's just embarrassed because he was caught with his pants down. You see it if funny because he was glued (thats the caught part) to a toilet seat. You may now chuckle at my admittedly poor attempt at humor, go ahead just for a moment then you can go back to posting.

But in all seriousness, after getting the seat off he must have realized that he got the raw end of a bad joke. Oh dear it appears that my poor humor has once again reared its ugly self. Curses that is three puns in a row, I must have gained an aptitude for the bathroom jokes when I worked as a janitor during college.

Moderator, while I understand how tempting it is to remove my very bad jokes I would like to point out that the artical is about failed attempts at humor and toilet seats. To that end I would like to point out that my post serves to reinforce the point that not all jokes are funny...some are just painful to read. Respectfully TheQuestion.

Smith you obviously did not get the sarcasm in SuperLib's post. Here's a hint: Take the word Australian out and substitute it for American and there you have it!! Like all those that ask the same when some idiot in the States does something dumb. Now do you get it? It's humor. Well , humour for you just in case you need the spelling difference. Not everything is a Republican/Iraq War conspiracy sonny. And No I wasn't "defending" anything. I was merely agreeing with his post. The immature response came from you.

This is both sad and funny at the same time. I do have the habit of checking the toilet seat before I sit down on any porcelain throne.
