Cradle to grave

I was going to start this blog weeks ago and just haven't. Don't know why, I just haven't.

One thing I would like to get off my chest is Australia Day. No not the taking of Aussie flags to the Big Day Out crap. I'll leave that sweet taste of righteous indication to the 20 year olds.

I'm talking about those revolting green and gold hats the Telegraph was giving out to be worn by children on Australia Day. Obviously, green and gold is highly unflattering to almost every complexion, and the inexplicable inclusion of pastel blue in the design did nothing to offset this travesty.

But no, that's not why this incident rates the very first rant on this blog.

My issue is with the faux-army camouflage print! Did anybody else notice that? For kiddies to wear!?! I was offended. Grossly so.

No bloody wonder we've got blokes running around wrapping themselves in flags and using it as an excuse to bash Lebs.

Congratulations Johnny and Rupert, you've just interned the next generation of 'warlords on terrorism'.
