The Future Of Ausculture.

I have some bad news for you, kids… Ausculture isn’t going to be updated much from here on in. The odd sporadic post perhaps but essentially it’s gonna sit pretty on the interwebs as an archive of three years of mischief. Two years of mischief actually involving the process of updating and writing new material!

OH NOES! FOR SOME STRANGE REASON, I’VE GROWN ATTACHED TO YER BLATHERING!

That’s very kind of you and you shall be rewarded with a sly fondle in the not too distant future.

The good news? If you’re into Big Brother rants, Australian Idol heckling, strange YouTube footage, deep analysis of the love lives of Australian soap stars etc, I will be banging such delights out with furious daily regularity on another site from Monday onwards.

OMG! WHAT? WHERE? HUH?

You’re hearing it here first, dear readers. Through a clever combination of single entendres, emails containing nothing but photos of walruses holding/losing buckets, and seven compromising Polaroids featuring my new employer after a couple of bottles of Jose Cuervo licking liquid chocolate off the southerly cheeks of a Dutch dwarf porn star, I managed to convince someone to hire me and I will now be (un)gainfully employed as editor of Defamer Australia. This will be nice. Until I am fired.

LOL UR AN IDIOT, THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS DEFAMER AUSTRALIA!!!1!

There will be on Monday, spazzguts.

WHY WOULD I GO TO DEFAMER AUSTRALIA RATHER THAN DEFAMER.COM IN THE STATES?

Well, if you loathe my particular style of interweb idiocy, you probably wouldn’t. But Defamer Australia is (hopefully) going to be the best of two blogworlds. We’ll grab the best posts from the US site and publish them on Defamer Australia (translation: we’ll sift out the Hollywood trades and industry stuff which tends to go over my head a bit but reproduce the high-larious posts about idiotic celebrities you’ve come to expect from Mark Lisanti and posse so you don’t miss out), plus we’ll have a tonne of local content.

CONTENT ABOUT JUST ABOUT THE FILM AND TV INDUSTRY, YEAH?

Nup. Here’s where the aims of the two Defamers will differ. While the US Defamer does a brilliant job of focusing on that particular niche, Defamer Australia will manically leap from topic to topic - genre to genre, skin to skin, fun to funky. We’ll not only discuss Australian showbiz as a whole and obsessively watch/review shithouse reality television programs, but we’ll also report on the occasional Australian current event/hot news item. Last but not least, we’ll also put in our two cents when it comes to overseas showbiz stuff, seasoning it with an Antipodean perspective. All in all, that’s a lot of fucking stuff to read when you’re bored at work.

YES.

(exhales)

Any questions?

Thanks to all of you who have so faithfully stuck by Ausculture since we started way back in January of 2004. Your emails and comments (and real life feedback, those of you I’ve been lucky enough to meet in the flesh), especially the support you threw my way when things were looking a bit dire last year, really meant the fucking world to me.

I’d also like to give a saucy wink to my posse of buddies in Melbourne (and Sydney!) who have so wonderfully kept me going over the past year and a half. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that I can call the funniest, kindest, cleverest and most talented people in the world my friends.

VOMIT!

LOLOLOLOLOL

WHAT ABOUT THE ACADEMY?

Frankly, the Academy did fuck all for me. And don’t get me started on God…
