Now for something no-one would have expected:
"Police impounded two white commodores".

Surely it would be easier to just ban young blokes from driving Commodores wouldn't it?

They might be mourning their mate but how about hire the drag strip for a couple of hours and do burnouts there.
That was completely disrespectful for all the people buried there and their families and does more harm to the dead boys reputation than good.

Completely agree with that. They would of been foul mouthed and abusive if anyone went there and told them to stop.


This makes me sick.

Unfortunately it's Darwinian theory at work. I like to call the life cycle of Boganus Shackerus.
When you put two shackers (shack up with anyone, live in derelict housing i.e. shack) of extremely low intelligence together and they eventually figure out what their genitals are for, they breed. See the sum below for best description:

Shacker A (male) + Shacker B (female) = Shacker C + Cash Bonus.

Shacker C will now be raised in a culture of stupidity; akin to being inbred. It will grow up with a balanced attitude by having a chip on both shoulders. For its parents, they misconceive the notion of Nurture with Nature so grow plenty of plants. Usually however, this little attempt at horticulture gets dried up and smoked.

Neglected, abused and marginalised from day 1, shacker C experiences the world through the eyes of shacker A and shacker B, so grows up feeling contemptuous towards others that have been brought up in a loving home. Eventually, shacker C turns to a life of crime. Knowing the bad example of entitlement it's parents have set, shacker C begins to take on the lifestyle of the parents A and B. It reaches adolescence and starts the cycle all over again by finding shacker D. Again, this can be explained by the following sum:

Shacker C + Shacker D = Shacker E + Cash Bonus.

Mired by receipt of money for nothing, shacker C realises that if he manages to impregnate several females or rob enough businesses, it will then have enough funds to purchase a vehicle; typically a commodore. This would of course not be a late model commodore, it will be an old one where they're easy to steal parts for when it breaks. The first purchase on this vehicle to improve it won't be to replace bald tyres, or defective brakes; it will be on a stereo system where the shacker anthem - Jimmy Barnes' working class man album will be permanently installed. Ironically, shacker C and all of the shacker class seldom work, so the notion of "working class" is lost on them. Rather, they expect everything to be provided for by "Da Gummint".

And so on the cycle goes until artificial events such as a car crash break this little family's cycle. If we employ the theory of probabilities that 1 in every 4000 car journeys results in a crash, we can easily explain this transition from birth to feralness to untimely death.
Shacker C has reduced faculties by reason of stupidity, which mitigates the probability of an accident from 1 in every 4000, to 1 in every 1000 trips. Then, add a mix of Jimmy Barnes playing the Shackinal Anthem; divide probability by 2. Now every one in 500 trips results in a crash.
Add to the mix alcohol, divide by 50. Now every one in 10 trips results in a crash. Finally, add the police chasing shacker C so divide by 10. We're left with the result that shacker C in all probability WILL have an accident whenever he gets behind the wheel. Not having a crash when Shacker C gets behind the wheel is against the odds, and bucking the tried and tested theories of probability.

In this case as mentioned in the article, probability caught up with this little shacker.
His friends, similar in circumstance and mired by stupidity, don't have the vernacular to articulate their feelings so resort to the tribal burnout. They too know, that one day a tree will come rushing up to them, so wish to rage against the dying of the quintessential light (sorry Robert Frost); the cruelty of being an inbred moron on a fast lane to the cemetery.

Great post, but a little wrong. Allow me to correct you. Shacker A only sticks around while the cash bonus or plant life is still available. Once the money or plant life runs out, so does Shacker A.

However, He will be replaced rather rapidly, by another Shacker. (Not sure whether he would still be referred to as Shacker A??). The new found replacement will assist in producing yet another Shacker. This process will continue until there is at least 4 or 5 Shackers of different Stocks piled in one "Gummint Dwelling".

Also a footnote. The ""Cash Bonus" may also be reffered to as the "Plasma Bonus".


On a serious note. 17 years ago, we buried a close friend, who at 19, died in a car accident. He was speeding, in a V8 Commodore. The church was full of people as he was a very popular person. On the way to the church and then on the way the Cemetary, I don't think any person went over 50km/h let alone over the speed limit. Thats just the way it was. It was a sign of respect for our lost Mate. It was a sign of respect to his Family.

That day changed me greatly. I used to speed all the time. I stopped instantly. It was a tragic event, and we all lost a great Mate that day. I believe that a lot of us changed our ways that day.

Rest In Peace Steven. You will always be remembered.

I think this group of fools (in the link attached) have no idea what life is about. Just stupid senseless actions that show no respect to their mate who died. Even if burnouts were a large part of this guys life, they should have organised an off street event in his honour. Not carried on like tools on the road.

Just doesn't seem to explain why it seems to be happening at an exponential rate, aren't they supposed to be dying out by now??

Allow me to explain.
There's been other artificial factors at work here. You see, by giving a bonus of several thousand dollars to the paternal shackers when a new shacker is born, they become incensed to repeat the process as soon as possible for financial gain. This is why the time period between offspring has reduced from 18 months to 9 months (shackers predominantly have premature births due to the substances they take). It's also why the average age of impregnation has gone from 15 down to 11; they're worried "Da Gummint" will stop sending them money.

To answer your question, they would be dying out if it weren't for governmental intervention and encouragement through cash schemes. They're simply breeding far more than those that are dying. I propose a cancelling of the baby bonus and a mass cull of the shackers, to restore the lower, sub-human class to more reasonable numbers.

Oh if only we could.

There is a strong argument that a small sacrifice will produce a great benefit.
Where as it is currently the other way around. All of society are being made to sacrifice while these sub humans are running rampant in a seemingly never ending social experiment that isnt working.

It's just a light hearted approach to a serious message. In the words of Homer Simpson; "It's funny 'cause it's true".

I probably have been a proponent of random acts of kindness and understanding for these people in the past, but I wonder if it may be more beneficial to support random acts of violence towards them to maybe speed up the process you are describing.

Oh definately. We should also burn the breeding ground for this vermin - Housing commission.
Just think, streets would be cleaner, roads would be less congested, dole queue's shorter, hospital waiting rooms empty; not hearing a person putting the "F" word into a sentence more than 5 times, lower crime statistics just to name a few. Actually, of all things shacker and bogan, this cull would equally apply to Vuvuzela - Queen of the bogans. Ooohh I'm definately in.

Australia has woken up, the mass of nuff-nuffs out there being nuff-nuffs will be a relatively small generation in the scheme of things.

Average age of mothers is continually spiralling upward and the people giving birth now are more likely to be more mature and financially stable than those in previous generations. With the average age of a mother giving birth to her first child being around 28 years old, we will be looking back at the kids born now as an exceptional generation with values more inline with kids born in the 70's.

Yes, I am biased.

Despite what I said somewhat flippantly in my last post, I am inclined to agree with you GTP006.There are enough good kids around to give a little hope, it just seems to me that there is such a huge number of socially retarded ratbags around at present that sometimes I think that the conspirortists may have something if any of them think that something was being put into the soft drinks or Passion Pop of kids 15-20 years ago.

Could it just be that, due to the prevalence of mass media these days, you are hearing about the actions of the bad apples more these days?

Burnouts being performed at funerals have occurred for a long time. I've talked to 40-60 year olds describing all the stupid things that were done 'in their day'. The difference was that a kid doing a burnout in his Torana was likely not reported anywhere.

Burnouts being performed at funerals have occurred for a long time. I've talked to 40-60 year olds describing all the stupid things that were done 'in their day'. The difference was that a kid doing a burnout in his Torana was likely not reported anywhere.

That's definitely part of it.

Are these teens seriously mental??? Stupid??? Pathetic??? or all of the above?

Burn outs at a cemetary??
Where the hell are the parents??
What the hell is wrong with these people???

No respect for anything and calling it a "tribute" is the most pathetic excuse I have ever heard of. Its a Cemetary....

Why did no adults tell them to knock it off?
What happened if one of them ran off the road and damaged a headstone?
"Duh gee sorry mate...?"
