K Rudd’s war on drinking
Saturday, March 7th, 2009Kevin Rudd since coming to power has been pretty keen to prove himself the king of Wowsers, first with his tax hike on premixed drinks then with his war on binge drinking. Finding yourself in incarcerated, assaulted, or lying in a car wreck by the side of the road normally has more to do with dickheads rather than booze, but if the government ad’s are to be believed any of these and worse could happen every time you crack the top off a cold stubby.
Rudd’s campaign has cost a pretty penny but then again you don’t get comedy writers of any caliber cheap, looking at their website whatareyoudoingtoyourself.com (as if i can remember a URL that long after a bender!). I saw this beautiful paragraph warning kids how your night can go downhill if you hit the piss a bit too quick:
When you’re falling over, pissing yourself, or having a go at someone it’s too late to realise you’ve hit it too fast. It could have been a great night. Now it’s an embarrassment, or worse.
Hmm definitely some top notch advice they are offering there, and if i thought a website with a super long URL was the end of it though i couldn’t have been more wrong. Going to the loo at the Harbour View Hotel in the city the other week i was greeted by the gem below. I have long admired the posters of ice addicts passing out and ruining their lives on the walls of the men’s toilets, I cant argue with their placement of these ones though. After all if you are indeed binge drinking you are going to be looking this poster every 20 minutes or so for the duration of your night every time you visit the urinal. Well that is until before you end up incarcerated, assaulted, or lying in a car wreck by the side of the road anyhow.
