The Reverend Fred (preying for reign) Nile has called on the banning of
muslim women from wearing traditional Islamic dress (like the burqa). Great idea, Fred, but why stop with the Burqa? Why not legislate against mini-skirts,
high-heels, and those pushy-up bras? They are totally tastless - especially
when worn by men. And backward baseball caps, and those trousers with the crotch around the knees
that make the wearer look like they've had a toileting accident. T-shirts with
offensive pictures could go too - like the pictures of farting dogs humping
people's legs. Perhaps we could orchestrate a return to the dizzying days of the Maoist
era, in which a quarter of the world's population were forced to wear government approved 'Mao
suits'? The interesting thing is that Johnny (are-there-votes-in-this) Howard has not
actually ruled this out. Of course the government only wants what's
good for us, and I'm sure that when Johnny (i-believe-in-freedom) Howard gets
his way he will let us wear whatever we want behind our mandatory picket
fences. Of course he may have problems manufacturing consent for it - while some
think that the burqa should be banned, others think that, for feminists like Eva Cox, it
should be mandatory. Maybe we could just subsidize really ugly people to
convert to Islam, so they could wear the burqa? Of course Fred (veteran anti-lesbian-campaigner) Nile claims his concern is
that weapons (such as stap-on explosives) could be concealed under the
burqa. His real concern is clear: women with strapons. Coming soon to a shopping mall near you Fred, the incredible exploding Islamic
fat-chick!
