John Winston Howard, DJ

02 July 2007 in Humour, Politics by Stilgherrian | 7 comments

Photograph of newspaper images of John Howard, modified to add hand-drawn headphones to make him look like a DJ

This image is a work of genius, I think. Sure, the Daily Telegraph started it with a set of three fine photos of John Howard. But the modifications by our unknown pen-wielding humourist are simply superb.

This was passed to me via too many links to track down the source. So if anyone knows the creator of this piece, please tell me so I can give proper credit.

Yes, the photo has the C-word in it. Grow up, we’ve all heard it before…

@eddy: I would have thanked you personally for your inspired artwork, but you did not leave your real email address. Silly person.

@cc and @eddy: Unless either of you is prepared to use a real email address and come up with something even remotely like evidence, I call bullshit on your stories.

It strikes me that anyone who created such an image would remember remember where it happened. And they would have shown at least one real human friend who could vouch for their story.

I just deleted the link you provided, cc, because it didn’t link to a person but to the Facebook page for some Melbourne-baced fashion label. So I figured you’re just doing some lame low-rent SEO. Not interested.

Of course, either of you can reverse my opinion immediately with evidence. Over to you.

So how should I cover Budget 2013?

14 May 2013 in Internet, Media, Politics

I’ve commented on Australia’s federal Budget for Crikey every May since Labor took power in 2007. This year will be no exception — but how will I top last year’s rant? Why do politicians and their groupies always go on about the budget “sending a message”? Can’t they just use Twitter, email and the phone [...]

Weekly Wrap 152: LulzSec, Optus, radio and thinking stuff

05 May 2013 in Weekly Wrap

My week Monday 29 April to Sunday 5 May 2013 began gently, with planning and washing and other chores, and just two articles to write. But by Wednesday night I’d also done four radio spots, washed an infinite number of towels, and eaten most of a sheep. Or so it felt. Then Thursday was full [...]
Talking LulzSec and hacktivism on Triple J’s “Hack”

04 May 2013 in Conversations, Internet, Media, Politics

On Tuesday, Triple J’s current affairs program Hack decided to take a look at hacktivism more generally in the wake of Matthew Flannery’s arrest — and boy was it a shemozzle! I was interviewed for half an hour or more. Also interviewed were independent journalist and “chaos magnet” Asher Wolf, and Nigel Phair from the [...]
