In what will also lead to accusations of double standards, the sporting body gave its blessing for shooter Lauryn Mark to strip down for Zoo Weekly magazine.
AOC spokesman Mike Tancred said the governing body was not cancelling the shoot[sic].

"She is a professional shooter, a gun is the tool of trade for her, and she treats it with the ultimate respect[sic]," Tancred said.

So they have evolved from an island of outlaws into oppressive twits. But at least they let hot girls wield guns. Oh yea and in the navy they will pay for a womans boob job............It saves on life jackets.

Shotguns and a compact size pistol are high powered!? Is "high powered" the new "assault weapons" type word?

Apparently, for the Aussie Olympic Committee, these photos don't reflect poorly on the Aussie Olympic team:

But THIS one does:

Don't get me wrong--I think Ms. Mark is an attactive young woman, despite the fact that she has obviously mutilated her body with surgical augmentation.

And these two swimmers are pretty obviously a couple of Mad Mad wannabee tools who probably could shoot through a hole in a ladder.

But I have yet to find any Australian law that prohibits being a testosterone-overloaded tool. And it's a good thing, that, or where would we get all those great movies about testosterone-overloaded tools like Mad Max and Crocodile Dundee, not to mention the biggest Aussie tool of all, Mel Gibson?...

Being a testosterone-overloaded tool is sort of part of the Australian Male Mythos, and without such behavior, this desert island would be a pretty bleak and weird place full of wacky marsupials and a native population who believe they are descended from extraterrestrials from Sirius...
