19th 2006
Well how about it, 3 prestige people died in the same week almost. Mark
the date down, the month of September of year 2006. From the Government of
Australia, keeping the bastards honest, Don Chipp died following a long
battle with Parkinson's Disease. From the environmentalist group, Steve
Irwin died following a short battle with a stingray. And from our own
legendary car racing scene, our own Peter Brock. We here at Scumpys wish
peter brock and family deepest regards and will never be subject to
redicule on this website. Bless Peter Perfect. Toranas rule the mountain.
Go Holden! Don Chipp was ok too, so I'm told.
Couldn't care less for Steve, which begs the question, do Australians
really care about so called celebrities when they die? Reporters for
insane urine soaked man on park bench news looked at case files for
Diana's death in that French tunnel. This was spread across the news and
television like nothing else back in 1997, for the reason being we are
part of the Commonwealth. And most don't really care, no. Except
royalists. She wasn't driving a holden. Unlike Peter brock, and his
legendary Torana down Bathurst.
This is just one example, Steve didn't drive a holden either. He was a
toyota man, which is just another reason most people probley didn't care.
Anyway, look at his life. From beewar Queensland, made a living walking
around the bush and picking up snakes, jumping on crocodiles and saying
crikey. Creates a Television series shown in the countries other than
Australia, then to top it off, this so called all Aussie marries a yank.
Fair credit goes to him though for making a wildlife fund, saving
kangaroos and koalas that I shoot on weekends. But it still wasn't enough.
This time next year when the TV networks here overdo this memorial, I'm
going to be standing out the front of Australia zoo dressed in Holden team
colours screaming "Peter was better", waving a sign over me
head. Who's with me?
