This is most excellent. An Australian politician tries to explain a tanker mishap that spilled 20,000 barrels of crude into the ocean. My favorite part of the interview:
I’m not saying it wasn’t safe. It’s just perhaps not quite as safe as some of the other ones.
Why?
Well some of them are built so the front doesn’t fall off at all.
Well wasn’t this one built so the front doesn’t fall off?
No.
How do you know?
Because the front fell off. And 20,000 tons of crude oil spilled into the sea caught fire, it’s a bit of a giveaway.
Alas, it’s too funny to be true. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a funny politician. (John McCain looks rather like a grimacing corpse when he smiles on cue.) Read the real story of the “interview” at Snopes.com. (Snopes won’t let me copy the explanation.)

You should beware your front falling off during Thanksgiving Racquetball!

You’ve actually found the good Australian comedy, rather than the Crocodile Dundees and Priscilla Queens of the Desert.
These guys are great arent’ they.
