I agree with the comment re undergraduate humour, although there is a very serious plotline which appears to be overlooked by this reviewer in her haste to get to the fabricated outrage. Maybe the stunts are so memorable and confronting that J's message has been overwhelmed. The message I receive and agree with is that much of the pain and damage in this world is caused by tribalism, religiousity and racism. This has been a common thread throughout much of JS's work, ever since the "Race around the world" series. If shock and affront help to open the main topic up for analysis, then go right ahead, Mr Saffran and Auntie. More power to you! Not outraged… a little squeamish, perhaps.

But I hope he doesn't get too many imitators at home. It's likely that the Filipinos who do this regularly have a technique which minimizes the damage, e.g. perhaps by ensuring that the nails don't break the delicate bones of the hand, and that amateur imitators are going to do themselves serious damage.

You don't have to have a tv, or for that matter, have it turned on to ABC. So this is more confected outrage from the christian organisations. ” Is it really good enough that a medium that is broadcast into nearly every home in Australia”

It’s your choice. You don’t have to have a tv, or for that matter, have it turned on to ABC. So this is more confected outrage from the christian organisations.
