    Of course Australians dont live under a dictatorship…….unless of course you’re Aboriginal and live in the Northern Territory

    You forgot Braenerd Akne. And also EEK! A Nerd Barn!

    The spooneristic quality of Braenerd Akne’s name is truly a thing to behold.

    Please do the same to Kevin and Malcolm and yes even Julia! I wanna see t-shirts LOL!

    The charcoal background goes beautifully with my desktop’s colour scheme- and is very easy on the eyes to boot. More of that, please!

    Is Kevin Rudd a communist dictator? Nah- his hats are too small. Rudd would need the full John Lombard-style dead-wombat-on-head to qualify.

    Teensy little hard hats just don’t cut it…

    If dictators equate with personality, I’m tempted to suggest our very own Kevin Rudd, has the personality of a plum.
    Anyhow the Liberals deserve every bit of criticism they are handing out to the Labor
    Party to be tipped down their own necks. But hey, is anyone listening to their pathetic mewlings? (I think I’ve invented a new word!)

    I’m going to twist gender as well as letters. And Lo! We have our very own Kanee Brendar. Here’s looking at you girl!

    CRT’s are definitely becoming funnier! This edgy analysis of Rudd’s road to dictatorship is a must for the Coalition party room particularly the shot of Brendan looking like never before – an over the top smother of supreme gloating. By the way, did anyone else notice in the Walkley scene that Milne appears to have left the gate unlocked on his livestock?

    Dude, you look how I feel. It’s mostly in the lighting. Get some blue screen happening or softer focus rather than shade across half the face.

    Also what’s with the wardrobe? Is that Newtown (Sydney) black I spotted there, or worse, O’Conner (ACT)
    goth? Casual is fine, but some happier colours might be fitting the house vibe.

    Was the method of delivery with the half suppressed spitting articulation deliberate satire?

    Yeah liked the content alot, and your voice is clear with conviction, and I do think this is the way to go building your identity brand at crikey. Don’t know why but credibility always goes up when one sees and hears another human being actually string some grammatical sentences together in a fairly logical way. Whether one agrees or disagrees, I mean.

    I never thought I would agree with anything Tom said, but he is absolutely correct about the photography. All the light coming from the window (?) is too much. I’d tend to suggest a peach- pink bit of opaque material across the window-turn it into a blind if you feel it works. The whole image definitely needs warming up.

    I’ve always said that it’s terrific to hear someone who is as articulate as his writing is literate.

    Plain jumper, fine, but you would look great in red (the same red as the car in the ad to your left), pale blue, or a really vibrant green. IMHO steer away from yellow and orange. The thought of teal blue/green appeals. I can’t understand why men shy away from pink and lavender-yeah the words have become associated with being gay. But if you have olive skin they would look sensational and marvelous. All of these colours would look even better with a slight sun-tan. Which is probably something most journos don’t get a lot of.

    You are a really good-looking man and with that terrific hair. Make the most of your assets. Of which there are many!

    Oh NOOO!! I like Bernard au naturel - unstuffy a little aloof and brooding. He’d look a goose with a tan from a can. This is Bernard Unplugged.

    Hi Chris. I like him au naturel, of course. But the light from the window has to be
    corrected. And, pray tell, what would be wrong about plunking a red jumper on him? Green, etc.

    Cheers

    Hey there Venise…this is like email! Don’t you think Bernard’s a bit like Firstdog - stand alone talent? He doesn’t need gimmicks or gloss cause he’s brilliant as he is. I doubt he’s amenable to titivating anyway….it’s in his meteoric future. Just my opinion.

    Hi there Chris. taking the glare out of the window and putting on a nice colour jumper would only frame perfection (suck suck!).
