Chk Chk BOOM!
Australian followers will all be familiar with the Internet phenomenon that is Clare Werbeloff. I'll fill in for everyone else.........
Basically there was a disagreement between two gentlemen in King's Cross, Sydney last week which escalated to a public shooting. Witness Clare Werbeloff was interviewed by a news crew on location and has become an Internet celebrity due to her racist remarks (well the racism is debatable as the term 'Wog' is not widely considered racist in Australia any more), animated description and bogan (Aussie for chav) manner. You can watch the news report in the embedded video below.
The video has inspired many parodies including a dance remix and T-shirt's which are available by order online. My favourite though are the following series of cartoon images describing the events. Enjoy!

That's crazy and wrong on so many levels!? I can't believe that one guy said it was 'awesome' to see someone get shot and killed?! WTF?
The girl is funny tho with her wonderful, casual racism!
Looks like a fit bird to me.
Jesus wept.
My (Aussie) missus has told me that about "Wog" before. Isn't it just white Australians that consider it a non-racist term, though?
DEVESTATION!

Conspiracy theories abound.
1) She's a brilliant opportunistic marketing genius who is about to release a product range under the 'CHK CHK BOOM' brand name;
2) Brilliant and opportunistic marketing ambush by brewer Lion Nathan - note the beautifully positioned beer ad on the bus stop behind her? (Not quite as clear in the you tube clip)
3) Brilliant and opportunistic attempt by the next Big Brother/Idol/Masterchef/MTV VJ/dickheads got talent contestant to get her mug on the telly;
4) Beer Bloke's theory ... just another vaccuous, drug-f#@ked, air-headed, tramp-stamped, slack-flapped oxygen thief who was drawn to the 'Dickhead Lamp' on the top of the TV camera.
But that's just my opinion - I'm sure her Mummy and Daddy are so very proud.

To carry Tim's explanation of the use of "wog" a bit further, I suppose you could equate it to the use of "gringo" here in the SW United States. It's commonly used, even in advertisements, though as a "gringo" myself, I don't much like it. Call me a "guero" if you like but I don't like gringo. As for the Glock...I think it's just called a "9" in the gritty parts of the U.S. Interesting posts and comments.
