Stalking Venus

Okay, there’s a chance that some of you ended up here by trying to go to AustralianDad.com. Don’t panic. Normal reality will reassert itself in approximately… Oh fuck it, I have no idea. Nothing ever seems normal to me.

Fact is that I, Tim, am the same guy that runs the Australian Dad website, which – for very complicated reasons – had to be temporarily taken offline. It’ll probably be back sometime, but in the meantime, you’ve found yourself at StalkingVenus.com, my personal blog, and general forum for trying to get big corporates to give me free stuff by writing the occasional semi-sycophantic reviews about their products.

Welcome then.

P.S. If you are a huge corporate who wants semi-sycophantic reviews published on a high-traffic personal blog, then please get in touch with me by clicking this. As you can see, I do great film, game and, er, other reviews.

Okay, sorry. That was totally lame. But it’s my first post here in half a year or so, so I figured it may as well be about something totally stupid. Just another wise crack in other words. Man, this is cracking me up.

LOL, this is great. Very cleverly done, and true on a number of levels.

So bad, and yet so good.

New Anti-Smoking Ads Warn Teens ‘It’s Gay To Smoke’

Mad performance art organisers, Improv Everywhere managed to get 2000 people together to do a massive flash-mob. They handed out ‘invisible dog’ leashes to everyone and then they all went through Brooklyn, looking perfectly serious.

For those of you who were not there– we passed out over 2,000 “invisible dog” leashes and had everyone go for a nice Sunday walk in Brooklyn. If you were anywhere within a one mile radius of the Bergen St. stop in Cobble Hill today, you would have seen all types of folks very seriously walking their very silly dogs.

The invisible dog toy was invented in the 1970s in the Brooklyn factory that served as our meeting point today. No Longer Empty and The Invisible Dog art space were nice enough to loan us the vintage dogs for an afternoon of fun.
