The Aussies will love this. Absolutely hilarious.

cant visit the website with the link, is it blocked in China?

Try copying, pasting and editing the link. It has some extra items in it. Get rid of all the stuff up to www.

Fixed.

There was a big article on NextMedia, the Taiwan based outfit that makes these animations, in the Sept "Wired" magazine. Pretty interesting.

It's a youtube video and is blocked in mainland China.

LOL. Sums up everything in a nutshell. And the Australian Sex Party?!! Never heard of it until today. I just really hope that victory is decided soon we don't need to hold another election... <_<

Actually I voted for them as my second preference as they are the only party apart from the Greens who are pushing to remove the discriminatory elements in the Marriage Act.

I think the video is awesome but the details in it are quite off - for example, all the pollies faces were quite inaccurate, not to mention Gillard's dodgy hand gestures and Abbott's lack of (abhorrent) chest hair. Still a great watch though.

Haha, that was funny as heck )) Insane generalisations and quite superficial, but still good XD

I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that Australian Sex Party preferences were decisive in determining the sixth Senate seat in a couple of states, so they are actually important, believe it or not.

The comments are quite entertaining to read.
