Brazzers Launch ‘Fake DiDi’ To Undercut Fake Taxi Industry

September 22, 2019 The Obiter

Porn empire Brazzers have today unveiled plans to roll out new Fake DiDi service catering to those who want a cheaper wank. At market close the price of wanking had reached a record breaking $7.66 a pop.

Brazzers spokesperson Caitlin Sandersson told our reporters that the new service was sure to disrupt the industry in what could be the biggest paradigm shift since the formation of the dead hand gang.

Fake DiDi is being marketed as ‘a more woke choice for porn viewers everywhere’ as it will be the first rideshare porn genre to feature queer and racially diverse drivers. Despite these triumphs, it is reported that most of the initial dialogue will still follow the initial tropes of “busy night?”, “so how long have you been doing this for?” and “haha how bad does corro traffic get sometimes aye”.

Some punters have also voiced concern over the ties that Fake DiDi have with the Chinese government especially regarding privacy. These fears were however addressed head on by the Porn giant in a statement to the media.

‘Now of course in order to provide cheap wanks we have had to deal directly with the CCP. As a result all data collected surrounding the use of a Fake DiDi will be reported directly to Xi Jingping.’

While this explicit data mining is expected to impact the initial expansion of the service many sinners are unphased.

‘Look if I can get the price of my wanks down to $2.43 with a promo code I’ll happily cop eye contact with a Chinese government agent through my front camera.’ Said impoverished student Cole O’Driscoll

Free Hong Kong more like free my dong am I right?

One Remaining Student In Class Didn’t End Up Learning Anything, Anyway

September 20, 2019 The Obiter
climate march kid.jpg

Richie McWalters is, for his age, staunchly determined to receive an education, so much so that he attended school on the last day of term instead of attending a climate strike.

His key argument was in line with what his father told him over their nightly TV dinner, that kids around the world are missing out on the most valuable day of education, that of the last day of term where there is nothing to do, as opposed to joining the cry for climate action from those who have done nothing.

Blatantly ignoring the fact that 23 -year old relief teacher Ms Nindles has literally just put on their DVD copy of Benchwarmers for him and a few other kids in other classes to watch, Richie is very proud that his extra day of attendance will help so much in a future where he will fend off the millions of impoverished, homeless refugees and weekly bushfires with his ability to know what time it is on both analogue and digital watches.

Meanwhile, Ms Nindles is actually pretty shitty that she didn’t get to go attend the strike and had to cover for the real teacher who actually did.

More to come.

5th Year Law Student Drops Out After Realising He Could Never Defend Someone He Knew Was Guilty

September 19, 2019 The Obiter
endgame+spoilers+guy.jpg

Legal practitioners across Queensland have today been absolutely rocked by the revelation that 5th Year Arts/Law student and likely valedictorian Jared Pascoe has declined to continue his legal education.

In a prepared release, Pascoe stated that he “just couldn’t stand the idea of a guilty man walking free at [his] hand.”

Sources say the 23 year old HWL Ebsworth clerk became disillusioned with the profession following a conversation with his girlfriend’s cousin at a family catch up in late August. Amelia McFadden, the cousin in question, allegedly shuddered when told of Mr Pascoe’s career choice, before stating that “Oh geez, that’s cool and I get we need lawyers, but gee I don’t reckon I could ever defend a man I knew was guilty.”

Apparently, it was something Mr Pascoe had never even considered before.

Despite clerking in a property law capacity and having no ambitions to enter criminal defence, the mere thought of letting a grubby criminal off the hook was too much for Pascoe.

“Gee whiz it bloody makes your skin crawl doesn’t it? Not for me I guess. Anyway back to Arts I suppose.”

From all of us here at The Obiter, good luck Mr Pascoe.

Sidelined John Bolton Desperately Tries To Get #JeSuisSaudiAramco Trending On Twitter

September 18, 2019 The Obiter

John Bolton’s departure from the White House this week was a tragedy for all those in favour of protracted, drawn out American wars against a large Middle Eastern country around 636,000 square miles in size.

As a champion of foreign incursions against a large country in Western Asia with approximately 82 million inhabitants and a unitary theocratic-republican authoritarian presidential republic system of government, Bolton was a reliable cool head in a Trump administration notable for its volatility in foreign affairs. That is why it was so disappointing he was sidelined and dismissed from his post just days prior to a drone attack on Saudi Aramco oil facilities by Iranian-backed Yemeni separatists.

The drone attack, claimed by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, sparked fires at two major facilities run by Saudi Aramco, Saudi Arabia's state-owned oil giant, disrupting output and exports. Two sources close to the matter told Reuters news agency 5 million barrels a day of crude production had been impacted - close to half of the kingdom's output or 5 percent of global oil supply. If Bolton was still in office as National Security Advisor, he might have been able to push the President to immediately launch retaliatory air strikes against Iran, starting a game of tit for tat aggression that would surely have led to full scale intervention and millions of deaths. Sadly, out of office, he’s been reduced to barracking from the sidelines.

At press time, his desperate attempts to get #JeSuisSaudiAramco trending on Twitter had gone to nought, and his argument that an attack on Saudi oil facilities was an attack on all of us had been met with only muted responses from the public. Shockingly, it seems like most people really don’t give a shit about the long term health of a state company operated by a barbaric and anachronistic monarchy that still beheads gay people in 2019! At press time, Bolton had penned a poem in the form of “First they came ...", the famous confession by the German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller about the cowardice of German intellectuals and certain clergy (including, by his own admission, Niemöller himself) following the Nazis' rise to power and subsequent incremental purging of their chosen targets, group after group. Sources tell us that Bolton’s rendition, “First they came for Saudi AramCo, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Saudi oil production facility” lacked the same punch as the original literary classic.

Please God, no more to come.

American Exchange Student Really Overdoing It With Input In Lecture

September 17, 2019 The Obiter

Exchange: it’s the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience an intellectual journey at an esteemed international tertiary institution.

Nah, it’s about passing and ketamine.

That is why the behaviour of an exchange student from North Carolina in a Privacy Law seminar is particularly fucking bizarre.

Despite the fact that everyone is fully aware exchange students only need to pass their subjects, this pocket rocket from the States is absolutely going for it - quoting the readings, asking questions, laughing at the lecturer.

Here’s one for you, Uncle Sam: there’s absolutely no fucking need for this. The fact that you’re at class is pretty dire. Unless you’ve accidentally wandered in here as a result of a particularly brutal MDMA-induced come down, there is simply no excuse for you being in this class.

What a mess. Instead of enjoying the generous vodka Monster deals the Down Under Bar offers on a Tuesday, this Yankeedoodle clown is sitting in the lower levels of the Forgan Smith and just fucking marinating in the minutiae of the Privacy Act 1988.

Here’s some law for you partner: the law of having some fun.

Student Attending First Lecture of Semester Stunned to Learn Lecturer Doesn’t Have 2x Speed Chipmunk Voice

September 5, 2019 The Obiter

1st Year Commerce Student Eliza Chapman has today been walloped by the proverbial hammer of truth, learning that her ECON1020 lecturer doesn’t actually speak like the eponymous hero of Alvin and the Chipmunks.   

Chapman had been amused for weeks by the fact that the lecturer in question, Dr Bruce Littleboy, seemingly had the voice of a little boy. However, after finally dragging herself to the UQ Centre for once in her life, she has left bitterly disappointed.

“He… he has a completely normal voice” choked Chapman through tears at press time.

“I mean.. you think you know someone, love someone even, and their weird, super fast, Christopher Pyne-esque voice, and then it’s… it’s just all been a lie? A big fat ruse? Honestly its kind of a wig out.”

It is undoubtedly a wig out, Ms Chapman. A real big wig out indeed.

Absolutely no more to come.

Brisbane Man Plans To Stick It To Mates On Exchange By Really Fucking Going For It Friday Night

September 3, 2019 The Obiter
sending it.jpg

Brisbane man Marcus Chen has a plan for “sweet, uncompromising vengeance” on his mates, The Obiter can report.

Chen was on the back foot earlier this month after all of his mates, or at least the ones he actually likes, all packed up and headed overseas for exchange.

After endless activity on the social mediums, his friends have made it pretty clear that their time travelling before exchange has been nothing short of drug-fuelled fuck odyssey.

But Marcus Chen has a plan. Circa Wednesday afternoon, as his mate Aaron was setting up a PO Box in Funtown (Dublin), Marcus decided he had no choice but to deploy the nuclear option.

“I’m just going to fucking go for it Friday,” Marcus announced to his legitimately empty office kitchen.

Marcus is going to strategically exhibit the Brisbane scene and show his smug mates that you don’t need to sit in the sky watching Ant-Man with subtitles for 24 hours in order to wake up on a street.

‘Fuck foundry is actually the best I’ve ever seen it, wish you were here.’ Chen plans to send to a group chat of friends who will have just woken up.

Marcus really is going to fucking have a big fat swing here - reports claim he is considering paying for The Met just to show that he’s always finding new Brisbane experiences. ‘I’m not going to be surprised if they’re on the first flight back to Retros.’

More to come.

Bobby Shmurda Accepts Plea Deal, Charges Downgraded to Shmoluntary Shmanshlaughter

August 28, 2019 The Obiter
shmurda.png

Hip hop fans the world over are today celebrating news that one hit wonder Bobby Shmurda will no longer face the possibility of the death penalty, after reaching a plea deal with Texas prosecutors to downgrade his shmurda charge to shmoluntary shmanshlaughter.

The Brooklyn-born rapper, who rose to fame with a song the title of which this writer does not feel comfortable transcribing, is said to be shmoneying with joy at the news.

Perhaps the Patient Zero of getting a rap career off the ground through memes, modern hip hop owes so much to the visionary rapper, whose model for success has since underpinned the rise of artists like Denzel Curry and, most importantly, Lil Nas X.

With this remarkable legacy, it would be a shame to see Mr Shmurda rot behind bars, unable to continue to leave his mark on the music industry.

Thankfully, the countdown is on until Shmurda is eligible for parol and the world can finally return to its rightful state: with a dangerous criminal making mediocre music.

Godspeed.

Frustrated Contracts Lecturer Gruesomely Tears ACL

August 27, 2019 The Obiter
Contracts Lecturer tears ACL.png

It has been a tough day for touch football fans everywhere following the news that one of the game’s bona fide stars suffered a brutal setback this morning.

Dr Ryan Mullins has long been a fixture of the Touch and Touch Rugby League (TRL) communities. Known to exploit the mixed format by repeatedly burning girls on the wing for sick breakaway tries (legend), Mullins has amassed an incredible record of 445 tries in 432 games on the way to cementing himself as one of the game’s all time greats.

But fate knows nothing of greatness, as Mullins learned earlier this morning.

The thirty-five year old, who earns his keep as a UQ Contracts II lecturer, was going about his normal routine explaining misleading and deceptive conduct under the Australian Consumer Law during an 11am seminar. All seemed as it should, and Mullins’ footy boots (Mizuno Morelia Neo II’s) were sitting at the ready in his Nike duffel bag for a 7:40pm top of the table clash against Untouchables.

However, when some dickhead asked whether a horse could qualify as a consumer, it appears Dr Mullins quite simply lost the plot. The young academic flailed around wildly, screaming obscenities and the definition of consumer under s 3 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) until he hit the ground, limbs sprawled and ACL torn to shreds.

Sadly, it appears that Dr Ryan Mullins will never play touch football again.

Mainly because he can no longer understand his statutorily provided rights and responsibilities with respect to his Monday night Kedron TRL contract after he tore up his copy of the Australian Consumer Law (ACL).

A tragedy of epic proportions.

No more to come.

‘Long Story Short,’ Says Friend 45 Minutes Into Story About Spotting Her Ex At Uni

August 27, 2019 The Obiter
cut a long story short.jpg

In a move that has thoroughly confounded storytellers the world over, third-year UQ student Grace Allan has folded time. 

In the conversational equivalent of a quantum leap, Grace managed to reclassify her rambling diatribe about spotting her ex-boyfriend Tyler, a Grammar bloke she dated for what was essentially 15 minutes in first year, as a succinct, compact summary of the event by deploying one phrase. 

‘So long story short, I just really don’t know what he thinks gives him the right to purchase a coffee at Merlos,” Grace said as her banal monologue hit the 45-minute mark. Incredible strategy from Grace - now she seems like a pacy storyteller and not one of her friends knew any better!

In a further twist, Grace managed to humbly raise her bat towards the Vulture Street end after hitting the half century of 50 minutes following a last-minute thought about the way his choice of jeans provided compelling evidence that he is now having thing with Amber. 

It is great to see a young orator of Grace’s skill hoodwink her mates. 

Long story short, more to come.
