Borat in Oz
A dead man wins an election and another one takes the blame for numerous speeding tickets. (Thanks Marie)
Belgian tourist slaps a stick on the water to try and get a better picture of a crocodile… bitten, survives, described as stupid by authorities. Obviously hadn’t learnt his lesson, either, having been previously bitten by a monkey.
Tributes for resigned Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, including this page with some of the stupid things he’s said over the years.
Man who is trying to find out if a cheque he’s been given is counterfeit ends up arrested himself.
Stupid criminal of the week: woman using amphetamines in a car illegally parked in a police vehicles-only space outside the mounted branch headquarters.
Borat’s in Australia, and “I would very much like to find Australian wife … ladies, please send me photograph, preferably erotic.”

Sascha Baron Cohen (who plays Borat) is already engaged to an Aussie. He’s been hot and heavy with actress Isla Fisher for a while now.
Isla attended both the “Borat” premiere at the Toronto Film Fest and then the later “World Premiere” of it in October. Of course, she couldn’t hang off her fiance’s arm as he was in character.
Here’s a pic of them attending the 2005 Emmy Awards together…
