If you have not caught the news, some North Melbourne players have made a strange, sexist video involving a rubber chicken with a condom on its head.

I dont watch the Footy Show anymore….and I certainly did not watch it last night when the ‘Gruen Transfer’ is on…..but..I did catch the interview with the North Melbourne Captain and player…Pratt….

They had them on them to ‘explain themselves’ say sorry…etc.

What a crock…Channel Nine had them on their to boost their ratings. They ‘told them off’ and then PROCEEDED TO SHOW THE VIDEO!!! To the crowds laughter. There is also a full copy of the video online at Channel Nines newsite…despite it being removed by YouTube.

What a joke.

They cannot be serious…..how can you decry it (which is fair enough…it is juveline sexist rubbish)…but then proceed to boost your ratings on the back of it?

Unbelievable.

Probably my favourite band in all the world is U2…and they have wrote a song called, ‘The streets have no name’ from their album..the Joshua Tree…now although there were 11 tracks on the album…this song took up 40% of the time to produce it…and Bono wrote it because when he lived in Belfast…you could tell how much money someone had….whether they were catholic or protestant…what sort of person they were by what their street name was….he looks forward to a place and a time where the streets have no name…where there is peace…where the sun shines…where there is no pain or death….where the streets have no name…

Likewise with the Good Friday Message…..the rest will be revealed on Easter Sunday….

“We have just read how the priests and religious leaders of the day..the Pharisees, came with a contingent of Roman soldiers and temple guards to accompany Judas to find Jesus.
Why was it that Judas felt the need to be accompanied by a contingent of soliers….? A contingent was about 800 soliders…but it was problaby a section of these…about 12 soliders…plus the guards from the temple…why so many people to take into custody one carpenter from Nazereth.
Judas was scared..in fact I think they we all scared…Jesus was there…where He had been often with His disciples..including Judas…They had spent a lot of time relaxing under the shade of the olive trees…enjoying each others company as blokes, eating, drinking laughing….Now Judas comes to betray His mate for 30 pieces of silver…which was a lot of money in those days…and He is scared.
But Jesus knew what was going to happen to Him…and so He is the first to ask the obvious question…who are you looking for…He knows the answer to this question, He knew they were looking for Him….yet still He wants them to know who they are looking for…Jesus the Nazarene they ask……”

if you want to know the rest….I will see you in Church…9am at the Inglewood Civic Centre….or back at this blog on Tuesday….

I am suffering from dumb hayfever at the moment…it really bites….sneezing, itchy…wont stop.
Its always worse when I dont get enough sleep…it really suck!!!!

“…the man who really counts in the world is the doer, not the mere critic – the man who actually does the work, even if roughly and imperfectly, not the man who only talks or writes about how it ought to be done.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt

Had some difficult things to say this morning, needed to say something, said it, glad I said it…but it was difficult.

Looking forward to Easter services…they are going to go off!!!!!!
