Dust Storm
Unloved? Backed up? Toey as a Roman sandal? Find yourself staring wistfully at the lady in the Brand Power commercial?
Believe it or not, it could be because of climate change. And not just because you will never pick up while driving a Prius - and even if you did, it’s the only car on the market which you can’t hear yourself having sex in.
Beyond the question of cars there’s an emerging, inconvenient truth that the subliminated angst we’re all feeling about the warming of the planet is undermining our preparedness to commit, or even engage with the opposite sex.

The NSW Labor Party has taken advantage of the confusion caused by the impending end of the world to install its new preferred candidate as Premier. Upon taking office Godzilla told a press conference this afternoon he was committed to “EAT, KILL , DESTROY” as well as holding underperforming ministers to account.
The Punch received this from some creative individual this morning following Sydney’s freak dust storm. It’s amazing how quickly the viral pictures get made and circulated following a news event with any visual appeal today.
Not being in Sydney this morning I can only assume that the dust storm is in fact real, and not some hoax manufactured for the good of bored web designers.

Thanks for the photo then Ante, while fellow reader James has since alerted us to this contribution to the Sydney dust storm http://www.flickr.com/photos/ivanaclinton/3945420235/

When The Punch woke up this morning it got a little scared. Sydney looks like it’s about to be swallowed into the bowels of the Earth.
Twitter has gone off with people filing their own pics here.
And News.com.au have an amazing gallery running here. There’s no point asking if you’ve seen anything like this before, as apparently the last time it happened was between the Wars.
Is it a sign? Are we being punished for our pre-GFC greed? Or is it a pre-Copenhagen message - a little taste of what’s to come if we don’t act on climate change now?
