And there will be no World Cup in Australian in 2022. Who’d have thought that a stupid cutesy-wootsie video wouldn’t cut through to the FIFA gerontocracy? Obviously there are all sorts of reasons why Australia was overlooked as World Cup host overnight. – not least the fact that our time zone is not conducive to the hefty European TV rights which help keep FIFA $1 billion or more in the black. But let’s focus our anger – or whatever it is we’re feeling – on the shocking, woeful presentation video which made Dot and the Kangaroo look like a film for grown-ups. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Tory Shepherd) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/well-at-least-theres-the-2012-lawns-bowls-world-championships-to-look-forwa/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/well-at-least-theres-the-2012-lawns-bowls-world-championships-to-look-forwa/#item4618 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:45:28 +0000 Is this the greatest ever send-up of 24-hour news?

Jon Stewart on The Daily Show provides his customarily hilarious but incisive overview on an astonishing upset looming in the US: that the Democrats are in danger of losing the Massachusetts Senate seat held by Ted Kennedy. This would change the arithmetic in the Senate and possibly derail Barack Obama’s healthcare reform. Some links to more reading below; enjoy the clip.

You can read the story here. After seeing The Boy From Oz I think Jackman is far more suited to the live environment of the theatre than the silver screen, and this shows his gift for handling the things that happen in live performances. But the real question is: how does someone still forget to turn off their mobile in a theatre? feedback@thepunch.com.au (Tory Shepherd) Lightweight http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/hugh-jackman-daniel-craig-interrupted-by-phone-video/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/hugh-jackman-daniel-craig-interrupted-by-phone-video/#item1337 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:45:28 +0000 Is this the greatest ever send-up of 24-hour news?
