Ok, for those of you who thought that George Brandis bore a striking resemblance to Elmer Fudd, he did his best to establish that he, in fact, was Porky Pig, as one can see in the first twenty seconds of this interview.
The Brandis Explanation.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t remember the “That’s All Folks” line, so Eric Abetz is now in the running to be the person to say that immortal line!
Of course, I then had the epiphany. Al Capone managed to run rackets and it was only through income tax evasion that the FBI were able to get him.
Now, I’m not suggesting that the current front bench of the Abbott Government is as corrupt as Al Capone. They are – like Brutus* – all honourable men.
I’m just suggesting that – if any of you lefties who read the stuff on this site want to find a way to get them – (be careful, they’re tracking your metadata… whatever that is) – maybe they could be sued for copyright.
After all, compare Christopher Pyne to Daffy Duck.
One can’t help but also notice the coolness that Malcolm Turnbull has stolen from Bugs. So a clear example of a breach of copyright. We know how Malcolm feels about piracy. Given his principles, I can’t understand why he hasn’t stood down over the fact that Pyne’s persona is just a ripoff of Daffy Duck.
Mm, for those of you who want to play, match the following Looney Tunes Ministers with their Cartoon Counterpart.
Foghorn Leghorn
Tweety
Sylvester
Granny
Yosemite Sam
Of course, the interesting thing was that the voices of all these Looney Tunes characters were done by the one person. Yep, all those voices were done by Mel Blanc. Whereas all the Liberal Ministers’ voices are done by Peta Credlin, with advice from Rupert Murdoch.
So who own Looney Tunes? Or is the current government just a franchise and the copyright thing not relevant because they’re all part of the same umbrella company?
Yeah, stick a fork in them and turn them over, they’re done.
Ah, yibbity yibbita, That’s all, Folks.
*Ok just in case the reference is lost.
“For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men–
Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
He hath brought many captives home to Rome
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?”
