If you know where to look, you can find comedy anywhere.
Case in point; The cover of today's Adelaide Sunday Mail.
Now, In case you didn't see it, I'll set the scene for you.
Firstly, No, I wasn't referring to the tagline at the top which said;
"NICOLE CORNES HITS BACK, "I'd make a good MP"
But I digress.Sure, that was pretty fucking hilarious, especially if you went to the trouble of reading the article inside. Sorry Nicole, but you have done ABSOLUTELY nothing to suggest that you would be a good MP. Even in your 2 page rant in the paper, you mention sweet fuck all about how you would actually perform as an MP, you just seem to be fixated on the fact that you were both a mother and a student at some point, and because you can do those two things at once, you are qualified for the role. I quote "I grew up in Boothby, had owned a successful small business, had nearly completed a Law degree and was a mother" (Highlighting was my doing)
Hey Nicole! I've nearly completed a degree too! Maybe I should run!
Even if you do have the desire, you certainly don't seem to have the credentials and, if that absolute bloody abortion of a campaign was anything to go by, you certainly don't have the ability to influence people, or paint yourself in a professional light.
No. Just no.

No. Just no.
The unintentional comedy of the paper was this.
See, the Sunday Mail has this habit of running a headline for one story then a picture for another, or a headline and a picture for one story, and then a second by-line and bit of text for another story.
Today's paper has a picture of a happy smiling family. Mum, Dad and a new baby with the headline "MIRACLE ON ICE", then, the by line for the second story, "Airport arrests as drugs seized" which was about a woman arrested for trying to smuggle $700,000 worth of the drug ice in shampoo and baby powder containers through Adelaide Airport.
The best part about it is that the two stories were COMPLETELY unrelated, with the picture and headline referring to the kid that was born from sperm that had been frozen for 21 years. However, for that happy family, they are now painted as drug smugglers!
Hooray for the Sunday Mail!
Also in unintentional comedy, there was a mini bus that crashed earlier this week carrying a metal band. Even though two of the guys in the band died, the news story reporting the accident was the funniest piece of TV reporting that I had ever seen.
Maybe I just laugh at things that are horribly wrong....
Oh well...
