Guns, Blood and Guts

Someone in the ABC's PC-standards department must have been asleep at the wheel tonight. For a while I wondered if I wasn't just imagining it.

Tonight's episode of A Big Country Revisited was dedicated to a good old-fashioned aussie bloke - Bob Penfold - who has killed over 100,000 animals since first appearing on the show back in 1973.

The show opened with the old footage of him handloading his ammo, and describing in intricate detail how his hollowpoint rifle bullet tears through the flesh and bone of a deer. I could feel thousands of pants-wetting ABC watchers around the country going bonkers at that very moment. And it just got better as it went on.

Back in '73, Penfold was a humble panelbeater who enjoyed hunting deer in his spare time. The gun-fearing-wussy crowd were probably hoping this follow-up show would show him having mended his ways. Instead he had become even more non-PC and evil: becoming a millionaire running a business as a tour guide for rich americans (gasp!!) who want to come and blow away Australian wildlife with large, powerful rifles.

Much glorious hunting footage was shown. The EVIL visiting hunters blowing away their prey, and smiling about it afterwards. We also got to see our happy tour guide butchering the carcasses and sticking their now trophy-heads into carry bags, and dragging a large dead beast along the road via a rope attached to their car. Bwahahaha.

Everyone was having a great time of it, except maybe thousands of ABC viewers, who must be shitting themselves right now. Guns!! Hunting!! Dead Animals!! Unrepentant predatory white Americans!!

Without doubt, the best half-hour of TV I've seen in years.

Bob Penfold: Aussie, hunter, God.

Remarkable stuff. Those two squares are the same shade of grey.
