Ain't Life Tweet

It took us a long time for us here at Sixpack to realise the value of twitter. The merit of being regularly updated with 140 characters of mundane banality seemed so pointless that we dismissed the application quicker than Todd Sampson dismisses Russel Howcroft on Gruen.
Having a twitter account ourselves also seemed equally pointless, because we thought it would be horrendously rude of us to assume that other twitterers would enjoy following our banality. Does a tweet sound like a tweet if there is no one around to hear it?

And then Wendy Francis came along.

For those who are not well versed in fanatical ludicrous senate candidates, Wendy Francis is a member of the Family (God) First party and is up for election in the upcoming poll.
Last week, in her incredible sanity and infinite wisdom tweeted: "Children in homosexual relationships are subject to emotional abuse. Legitimising gay marriage is like legalising child abuse." Ahh that wench be crazy.

Now whacky Wendy can think whatever she wants about children going to homosexual homes. We’re still a free country (until Conroy’s filter get through at the very least). Our issue is that she likened it to child abuse. Child abuse isn’t funny. Gay marriage isn’t funny. Homosexual relationships aren’t funny (watch Will and Grace if you beg to differ). But Wendy Francis thinking that she deserves a legitimate voice in our public sphere with a contribution such as this is so hilar-y clinton.

David Attenborough would do a documentary on her and think that she was the most animalistic thing he’d ever seen.

A quick tip to Family First: if you want to stop being portrayed as a maniacal cult run by a guy that eerily looks like Ned Flanders then stop letting your candidates roam free like buffalo on the American plains.

REAL tweets that matter sound more like this:
· ‘'Off Forbes Richest #10 list. Ppl finally realise my horrible secret. I can’t act’' #NicoleKidman
· ‘'Hair totally just grew out of my armpit. That makes two now :)'’ #JustinBieber
· ‘'Even I don’t know who the hell I am'’ #HolgerOsiek
· ‘'Although I understand why LA Zombies is good, Labor says I’m not allowed to like it’' #PennyWongMP
· ‘'Asked Wendy Francis about my film, she enjoyed it’' #Bruce LaBruce

So sorry Wendy Francis, let’s leave the twitter craziness to the pro’s.

And Kanye.
