More cyclist bashing from Magda Szubanski in Australia

I hope she realises that kath and kim was the only funny thing she will ever create and slips further into the quagmire that is obesity due to excessive comfort eating.

I hope she pours too much vinegar on her chips.

Don't you start ... :)

check out the history!

Mmm faggots.

Fuck yeah. Especially good with chips.

this sort of thing is really disappointing.

but, let's get some perspective. not even two weeks ago there was an english TV personality making similar statements in the national press. there was even a thread started on this forum saying the same thing about lycra-clad cyclists in Richmond Park. so let's not get "all the Aussies are fucking savages and racists!" about this - there are stupid, ignorant, thoughtless fucktards everywhere.

some context: Beach Road is THE main drag for serious recreational and training riding in Melbourne. On weekends it is like a bicycle freeway, and there have been incidents of bad behaviour by cyclists including one which caused the death of an old man who was struck while crossing the street. so the Beach Road thing is a bit of a magnet for anti-cyclist rage.

of course Magda is completely wrong in her point of view, and of course it's fucking stupid of her to imply that cyclists are fair game or don't deserve to be on the road. i grew up riding on Melbourne roads and i've been sworn at, had bottles thrown at me, had plenty of narrow misses, but it happens just as often in London.

Magda Szubanski encourages violence against cyclists

It can't get any worse - ugly, Polish and Australian.

It can't get any worse - ugly, English-born of Polish descent and Australian.

fixed.

Geee, it gets worse then

worse still, she was born in Liverpool.

oops!

I'm an australian, (living here) and although I agree there are some tossers amaongst us, there are also a lot of decent people who care deeply about our fight against racism, our indiginous cultures and our responsibilities to the rest of the worlds needy.....oddly enough these people are usually also cyclists in some form?!?!

Magda is currently an ambassador for weight loss program called Jenny Craig here in Australia. I have joined their forum and made them aware of her little rant and the obvious contradiction to her current employment.

I'm sure she will have some explainging to do as our countries obesity problem is Second only to the US. I will also be contacting our minsiter for sport to request an apology from Jenny Craig and Magda.

Keep up the good work fellas,

I reiterate: Fucking savages

I lived there for 10 years and fucking hate that country.

If you weren't interested in footy, cars and surfing you don't exist in their spectrum of expected behaviour.

The amount of times I had people try to run me over when out skateboarding or cycling(even mounting the curb sometimes whilst I was skating on the pavement).
Numerous occasions having shit thrown at me from passing vehicles, including beer bottles..
People taking swings at you just walking through town with a deck under your arm.

A land of fucking, fucking, savages.

Nice beaches and weather though.

yawn

It was a joke, and a shit one. There are fuckwits in every country. Lets not get our knickers in a twist.

twisty knickers.

Twisties FTW! They shit all over Quavers.

I'm an australian

Good luck then! I'm Polish, an ugly one, nurtured by Australians, married to a Black Brit, so I can say what I want and it's not going to be racist :-P But I'm still a fattist, me!

cannot work out why the fuck you stayed for 10 years if they disliked you so much there?

calling it a land of fucking savages - jesus. i've lived in a few places around the world and could shit on all off them but i also see good points in them all. though some (not you it seems) show respect to them and their differences.

nuff said?

yes - he is world champion.

ma3k is a good dude, texas. no need to fire up too much. but we melbournites need to remember that our city is pretty different to some other parts of australia. that's why i like it...

Thank god.

Everytime I start to think Australia is a place I might want to visit some day some twit has a rant against cyclists or I meet Balki again and realize I can save hundreds of pounds on airfare.
