Laugh, dammit! You're not happy enough. I'll teach you to be happy; I'll teach your grandmother to suck eggs. Now boys and girls, lets try again.
This guy should watch Ren and Stimpy and have a good laugh at himself, methinks.

Could it be that the youths of Arab extraction, otherwise called Australians (for that's what they are) are simply vicious thugs who are in need of some tender lovin' correction? As a matter of fact, their ethicity hasn't been reported in Aussie news yet either, at least not the news that I watched tonight. Nonetheless, it was the first thing that crossed my mind when I heard it on the radio this morning. Very sad.
I remember living in a gaijin house in Jap-an with a guy who grew up in Cabramatta, one of the most multicultural suburbs of Sydney. As a caucasian, he was one of a racial minority at the school he went to. He told us one day that while christian Lebanese were generally well integrated into mainstream society, young muslim Lebanese weren't, and often didn't even consider themselves to be Australian. I got the impression he was talking about young men rather than women, by the way. I'm not saying that Islam is the root of the problem here; far from it. As eresay said, the elders are beyond reproach. But perhaps there is something of the islamic, male-centred culture being mixed with the selfishness of relativism pervading Australia these days. And this is telling these fellows that they are a law unto themselves.
At any rate, they should have the book thrown at them. Even better, let's drop them into(and leave them in) Dafur, Iraq, Burma, Tibet, or Zimbabwe so that they can find out just how good they've got it in the wonderful land of Oz!

A man's dream come true: The chance to catch a creep! Bet the husband is just wishing he'd been able to get his hands on the animal before the cops did.

For what it's worth, I have to say that it ain't all these celebrities that annoy me, but the media who decide to inflict them on the public.

Zorro,
Damn. I missed that, sorry. Excuse me while I wipe the "think carefully about posting" comment I made before off my face. Don't you just love the high standards of journalism these days. I'm beginning to realise that JT is little better than a tabloid in many respects. What a shame.
That's a good point. However, the allegations against him could definitely be called sexual harassment. Whether or not he is actually guilty of them is, of course, for the court to decide.

Zorro,
Actually, I think sexual harassment has the very limited definition that its words imply, and my reading of the situation is the same as yours; this guy allegedly harassed those women sexually.
As for perversion, I'm not sure you could argue that sex toys are perfectly natural, as they intended for use when "natural" (artificially unenhanced) sex just doesn't quite float one's canoe. But is that that twisted and wrong? Depends on your philosophy or religion, I suppose. In other words, I see your point, but you'd also have to agree that other people could argue that for them, their possession and use is perverted.
Incidentally, I was aware that sexual harassment wasn't mentioned in the article. But you won't find perversion in there either. That came from greenteaonsens and jerseyboy. You brought the words sexual harassment to the debate, and then asked what wasn't sexual harassment. I answered what you intended to be a rhetorical question. Anyhow, I've been guilty of speaking (and posting!)before I think things through carefully too, so let's leave it there, shall we?

Zorro,
What a fascinating question! Here's a simple answer. Many things are not sexual harrassment. NOT forcibly kissing a woman and trying to lift up her skirt is one example.
I apologize if my words have caved in your little world. I somehow doubt they have, though.

dubyakiller,
I wouldn't go calling myself dubyalover, mate, unless I wanted to be seen as a very right wing conservative, and have people look for that bias in my postings.
Anyhow, my name just refers to an old joke about myself that I still find amusing.

Mate, have you cracked my secret identity? If so, cool! Secondly, what does that second sentence of yours mean, sorry?

Dubya Killer:
What's the meaning of your name? Would it have anything to do with George "Dubya" Bush, by any chance? If so, then I suspect all your arguments aren't likely to be taken too seriously.
