This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming.

If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

A not very politically-correct young woman describes a nightclub shooting she saw.

She already has a facebook group with thousands of fans, has been offered a nude shoot with Zoo Weekly, and has had to hire a PR firm to manage things.

Thank you Kyle,

 So...we now have a possible NPC we can drop into a future game situation.

Man, I love this shit. Thanks for sharing.
Don\'t forget rule no. 2, noobs. Seriously, just don\'t post there. Those guys are nuts.

Speak your mind here without fear! They\'ll just lock the thread anyway.

Hah!
   In an email to news.com.au, Justin Kallu said: ""Im just abit upset about the fact that ive been shot and that i almost lost my life and there s this girl all over the news getting popular all because she has no brains."
(a) She is more well-spoken than you, and
(2) She ran away, you got shot. Which one is the dumb one?

Just because she used slang and such - that does not mean that she's not intelligent.

She was pretty descriptive.
As for the not politically part - she was quoting what the young men said ...in a bar. Not exactly a debating club or the library as far as settings go.

She referred to them as "wogs", Koltar. A person of Anglo-Saxon heritage in Australia referring to Lebanese, etc as "wogs" is equivalent to one in the US referring to "spics", "greasers", "kikes" and so on; though it's not as offensive as "nigger".

For my part, I'm not too worried about bad language. One bloke shot another one for bonking his cousin, I think that's a more important issue; though the lefty and righty blogs and columnists alike disagree.

That slang word is so regionally specific - that it just wouldn't come across as offensive unless the viewer lived in Australia.

Not so, it has the same meaning in the UK. It's on a par with the n-word here. Maybe we shipped out the word with the colonials. :p

Its pretty much offensive outside of the Americas. It never caught on here for what ever reason. The term has been around since the victorian period.

Yup, that pretty much covers it.

This just keeps getting better and better.. word down from the police is that she wasn't a witness at all!

QuoteAs Ms Werbeloff's newly hired agent, Adam Abrams, confirmed, "She was not a witness. She saw the camera, ran over to it and told this story."

Part of me would like to call this genius (ala the Chaser's for those playing locally), but I am calling that she is just a media-whore wannabe displaying the least awesome side of life.

.. at least the name calling is heading her way with her being tagged as a Bogan (the aussie White Trash equiv).
