Via Damien it seems that Irish people are discovering the controversial ads showing up Aussie boy racers, or ‘Hoons’ as they’re known down here.

The ads drew scorn here in Oz for their apparent inutility. Would they actually make any difference? The press says no. Computer says no. The people says maybe.

The Irish NRA, meanwhile, liked the emasculating vibe of them, and Gaybo has reportedly said ‘roll it there, Roisin’, asking his minions to get in touch with the Aussie roads authority and see if they can be used in Ireland.

So there’s every chance you could soon see fingers being wagged at boy racers compensating for their tiny penises with massive, phallic anodised exhaust pipes.

There’s just two weeks now until the Sydney Irish Film Festival in Paddington’s Chauvel Cinema, and the line-up has been finalised, with one major change.

Irish cinematic classic My Left Foot gets the boot in favour of Garage, starring Pat Shortt.

The whole shebang kicks off with Irish-language flick Kings, starring Colm Meaney, and an opening night special with an afters party in Durty Nelly’s, also in Paddington.

Tickets for the opening night, including finger food and drinks, cost $29.95. More details here.
