Australia is tasteless (and I love it!)

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2005

Seth Goding blogs about LifeArt, an Australian company specializing in art on coffins.

This is just so typically Australian.

It’s just like the prime minister that died from drowning and they decided he needed a memorial. You know what they built?

A swimming pool.

Or the local Manly collection for the tsunami disaster. You know what it was called?

“A wave of hope”.

Tasteless? I know! But it’s just the way many Australians react in the face of peril. Considering everything that moves down here can kill you more effectively than anything else in the world it probably makes sense to have a slightly more tounge-in-cheek attitude to life.

I love it!

Australia just made it into the World Cup finals! So now both of my countries are in the World Cup. It’s going to be so much fun. (Unfortunately I’m going to be in the wrong timezone.)
