[Genius Ben] Episode 4: "Liam Neeson" · 22 August 2008
Sure enough, it’s happened again. If you missed Episode 1, click here. The following audio is disturbing at best. And funny at worst.
This week, Ben takes the guise of Irish Academy Award nominated actor, Liam Neeson. Ben has a problem – I’d say “see the person, not the disability” but I fear the result would frighten you.
Ben does actually have his own curiously entertaining blog, called, Genius Ben.

[Genius Ben] Episode 1: "Temuera Morrison" · 7 August 2008
I don’t have normal friends.
Now, putting aside the argument for “what is normal, for just a moment, my point will become immediately apparent once the following audio is heard.
My best mate, Ben is a comedian, among other things. (ie. actor, asshole, mutant etc.) But he seems to have a genetic defect whereby he can’t leave a normal message on my phone. So I thought I’d start publishing these on my blog to show you what I mean. Each time a new one graces/grates my eardrums, I’ll post it here.
This week, Ben takes the shape of New Zealand’s Star Wars C-Grade celebrity Temuera Morrison, better known as ‘Jango Fett’, or, ‘that guy from Once Were Warriors.’
Ben does actually have his own curiously entertaining blog, called, Genius Ben.

Boobs boobs boobs! · 6 July 2008
Now that I’ve got your attention, I wanted to quickly comment on the state of online news lately.
News sites generate content based on user interest; that’s how the beast works. News agencies like News Ltd. sell newspapers by giving the readers (online an offline) what they want to read.
Shown clearly here on the Perthnow.com.au banner on any given day:
(this is just for Sunday 6th July)
So, uh – I hear there was a climate change report or something that’s just come out. Not interested?
No?
Okay. Let’s look at some more boobs.
Hey Norman! · 4 July 2008
I had a chuckle as I drove past the Harvey Norman in Preston last night. Someone made ingenious use of the Harvey Norman sign to contact their enormous friend, Norman.
The Best Catfight. Ever. · 2 July 2008
I don’t want this blog to become a cacophony of linked images and YouTube videos, but it seems to have evolved thus of late.
That said; I can’t help but point out how perfectly this video says something about the brilliance of user-based contribution on the new Web 2.0 plane. This video has everything;
Cute kittens, Fighting, and a surprise ending.
Even David Stratton would give it Four stars.
If this were a short film, it’d win something. Anything.

Sometimes South Park hits the mark so perfectly, it’s just… art.
And the jewel in the crown…

Like totally. · 26 May 2008
A Melbourne DJ who offered a police officer posing as a 14-year-old girl an iPod in exchange for sex will spend six months behind bars.
My concern isn’t the DJ offering an iPod for sex, nor that iPods are considered as tender for sex, but what sort of cops do we have working in Victoria that can pass for 14 year olds?..
What a thumping! Oh, wait.. · 25 May 2008
I almost choked on my cornflakes when I logged on this morning to see how the Dockers went against Carlton yesterday. For a moment I thought we’d been unceremoniously slogged! Seems someone at the The West might need a calculator…

"Australia" Preview released on the Internet · 19 May 2008
The first preview look at Baz Luhrmann’s epic, Australia was released on the internet today – and by all accounts, it looks good! (above)
It was filmed in my home state of Western Australia, and it looks as if Luhrman’s really used the landscape to the film’s best advantage.
Although despite the official trailer looking great, I cracked up at the mock version posted on YouTube by a fellow 1984 baby – Stuart Bowen.
Good work Stuart.
Particularly hilarious were Lara Bingle’s cameo along with the mention of every Australian actor who has ever worked in Hollywood. (Bit of a fan of the Spider-Man score for the intro too!)
