I think you'll find that Jeff the dinosaur is macca's younger brother. And Coolum is just the name of Hooly's mental institution.

There is a Mental Institution named "Coolum"  is there ExcreedAndExpel ?

Says the guy who dreams up delusions of house prices rising 15% in two months. What cocktail of hallucinogens did you have to take to come up with that one?

that is one nasty pic.

Henry Rollins' 'disdain' for Robin Williams gets panned on social media
Music Movies Date August 22, 2014 - 3:50PM

'They cancel themselves out in my mind' ... Henry Rollins' harsh view on suicide.

Punk icon, actor and writer Henry Rollins is facing a withering backlash across all media for a harsh but typically uncompromising blog criticising Robin Williams' suicide.

Rollins, the former lead singer of underground punk act Blag Flag and most recently found mainstream fame with a role in the HBO series Sons of Anarchy, attacked Williams mainly because he left three children behind.

"How in the hell could you possibly do that to your children?" Rollins wrote in an inflammatory comment piece in Thursday's LA Weekly.

"I don't care how well adjusted your kid might be — choosing to kill yourself, rather than to be there for that child, is every shade of awful, traumatic and confusing ... as soon as you have children, you waive your right to take your own life ... it should be your utmost goal not to traumatize your kids."

Williams committed suicide at hoime in California last week aged 63.

Rollins, 53, wrote that Williams was "a good man" and that he admired some of Williams' work - he found Good Will Hunting "brave and excellent work" - but apparently believes people mainly grieved for the comedian because he was well known.

"When someone with this level of exposure dies in this way, it is confusing. An Oscar-winning actor, well-paid, with a career that most performers could only dream of — how could anyone so well regarded and seemingly fortunate have as much as even a single bad day, much less a life so unendurable that it has to be voluntarily voided?"

Rollins is well known for his at-times brilliant but no-holds-barred spoken word performances. But in cold hard text, some of his observations on suicide just looked plain cold. Take this: "When someone negates their existence, they cancel themselves out in my mind. I have many records, books and films featuring people who have taken their own lives, and I regard them all with a bit of disdain."

Rollins wrote of personally knowing people who had taken their lives and despite admitting "I am no doctor" offered the advice: "Life isn't anything but what you make it."

"For all the people who walked from the grocery store back to their house, only to be met by a robber who shot them in the head for nothing — you gotta hang in there."

Then, with almost stunning insensitivity, Rollins closed his blog with this: "I have life by the neck and drag it along. Rarely does it move fast enough. Raw Power forever."

Reaction on social media to Rollins' opinion piece was swift and almost universally damning. A handful of fans said Rollins had sparked debate about suicide but most commenters were offended. For a man who so often treads the right side of a fine line on controversial topics, this time it seems Rollins' good judgement has failed him.

Rollins is a very smart man but each to there own

HORDES of angry viewers have taken to Twitter in a tizz over a slapped-together tribute to actor Robin Williams at the MTV Video Music Awards.

In the middle of today’s glitzy ceremony hosted in Los Angeles, an extremely short video reel of pictures of Williams was played.

HOT AND NOT: The best and worst of the MTV VMAs red carpet
It was set to the Coldplay song “A Sky Full Of Stars” and lasted a mere 20 seconds. Just six images in total were used.

Viewers immediately took to Twitter to express their outrage at the “offensive” blink-and-you’ll-miss-it montage, which some compared to a Powerpoint slide show.


















Williams was found dead in his California home on August 11. His passing shocked the entertainment industry.

Australian viewers missed almost all of the controversial tribute all together when the broadcast inexplicably dropped out and was replaced with a black screen.

Comment has been sought from MTV Australia.

That "tribute" to Robin Williams tells you everything you need to know about this show. It would have been less insulting to do nothing.
