The PK app shouldn’t be 99cents. It should be more Armani style pricing!
And yes i would most likely get it
The Keating would definitely catch on.
Drive-By Abuser app is much fun. NSFW http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTRTU8T5vkE
You’ve excelled yourself, Mr Onthemoon. There are more laughs per square screen inch here than anything I’ve set eyes on in yonks. May I place an order for the Paul Keating Insult Generator? And a dozen of the Erica Betz locators, too, they’ll make great Christmas presents - if there’s a Christopher Pyne version I’ll be even more grateful.
Inspired work, Firsty.
PKIG also comes with warmed lettuce leaves for self-flagellation.
I’d buy an Iphone for the PK app, even though I loathe itunes. I think the Getup app may already be installed on my phone as almost my entire pay was hacked from my Visa debit card today. Hopefully it is going to a good cause, Good on me
Why will there be no Android versions? Why has Firstdog chosen a partisan approach? What happened to kindler, gentler apps?
Brilliant and HILARIOUS!
I’d pay a lot more than $0.99 for the Keating app. Heck, I’d even buy an iPhone just to have it. FD, you could be on to a real money-maker.
frame #5 Thanks Getup/getup I love so much I might buy it when it’s proven reliable by the market response and the price comes down.
Second likely the Paul Keating Insult generator, but seems it doesn’t slap Queen Elizabeth heartily on the back at welcome ceremonies and say we have had enough of you. Please I need an app for Aussie digital hospitality.
PK’s people will be in touch, FD. He’s never been shy of a good business opportunity, and he’s still in top form too, you sandal-wearing, muesli-chewing, bike-riding pedestrian.
Is good. Is Dog.
We NEVER get this stuff on Symbian!
Hello Venise! Are you there? You could always come back as Nellie Melba.. Only we would know, and we won’t tell.. Please?
Are we heading to a set-and-forget democracy? WHere’s the machine that goesping for social inclusiveness?
Does this mean we can give up worrying about them and get on with the gardening?
Yay!
I know Android users don’t pay for apps but geez, just put ads in it like everyone else - no Android version is sooooo 2010
‘Shoe, it would be worth buying an Iphone for the Factbricator alone.
is it true the PKIG requires a multi-core processor?
nobody with a tuppence worth of brains would buy the NO! app.
Dear FD.
Excellent work.
BUT!!!…….
Due to your appalling sloth in failing to have the Android version ready for launch next week……You are hereby sentenced to a 5 year (unbreakable) contract to Optus!
Paddy: I think as well one of those terms and conditions booklets from Vodafone that are unreadable because of the font size. There must be consumer driven penalties, FD.
Paul Keating Insult Generator. Could be the Talleyrand of iPhone apps…
I would like an android PK insult generator firsty;
you are on to a real money spinner here.
Geez he would make a meal of the mob in the WD&HO Wills stand in Parliament.
PLONK: Hoots awa! Can’t be too careful spending money. Hoots mon. I’m building my own Factbricator next after I finish the Whos Whooster.
Well done FD. I would like to see the app sound an alert if you are not Moving Forward. Or the Abbott app where you can shake your iPhone to undo anything you said more than 8 minutes ago (provided it’s not written down).
‘Shoe: Och aye, but ye’d best be watching yon patents, lassie!
I’d want the PKIG ported to the Android. It’d run better on it.
Firsty, you can always brighten my day, but this toon has brightened a somewhat horrid WEEK.
A-Thousand-ThankYou-s from the bottom of my little pink cotton socks.
ARROOGA AROOOGA!!!
What about a First Dog app? I would love to have one!
What, no WebOS versions?
Blot+
Has your ISP cut you off? Opinion pages of the dead tree version of the Terrorgraph you found on the train missing? Radio batteries dead?
No wozzers, Blot+ is the perfect app to keep you up to date with the miscellaneous misrepresented misinformation spewed out by your favourite trollumnist. $0.99 is all it costs to have any strange notion that you have anything to do with your own self-determination removed - for good. This could be the best (and last!) decision you never make.
* Works everywhere (you can’t get away from it!)
* Automatic updates (you can’t stop it!)
* iPad, iPod, iTunes, iPissinmyPants and iGiveUp supported
* If you leave home without it it calls your mobile to tell you to come back and get it. You just can’t leave home without it!
Who cares what others think when you can have them tell you what to think!?
Ernmalleyscat,
I downloaded a French version of that app.
I googled the Tarzan call, it came up with this app, and I downloaded it.
Could not find the tarzan call, could not understand the insults
Still looking for the tarzan call for my message alert tone.
Cant find a decent coooeee to download either.
Love standing at a checkout when either of those alerts go off and everyone starts looking at each other
Tasteful FD.
I typed “Alan Jones” into the iStore search thingy on my iPhone and (you simply will not f@cking believe this) up popped “Alan Jones Mens Grooming”. According to the blurb: “…booking an appointment for a haircut or one of our hot towel shaves has never been easier”.
I can’t cope. Get out the dettol Mum!
The PKIG would have to be the App the finally convinced my to buy an iThing.
What about a Crikey app people!!! Now that would be fab!
Good call michael. As long as it is in android as well
Andrew L, that is really helping you get on in the world that iPhone. What a vainglorious and shady trinket. Irony.
I bought the Rudd app, but the people behind it renamed it to ‘Julia’ and now its become very unstable, almost unusable.
I would defs get the PK Insult Generator!
Paulromas, for an extra 99c you can get the real Paul ! Bargain, scumbag ! Sorry, my fingers slipped !
Exciting news, Blot+ beta additional features:
* No politics! (one day offer only)
* Sulks!
* Help Help! I’m being Repressed! Spee Freech!
