Death, the Media & Home and Away: Why Summer Bay Could Kill You.

Does Home and Away accurately represent the average death rate of Australians? Or is it just drama for drama's sake? Professor Funk looks at how the media (mis)represents the topic of death on our screens.

Why Have You Done It As A Video Response To A Obvious Home And Away Fan You Douche Bag.

You Really Need to Get A Life And Stand Down From Your Soap Box.

I Don't Think People Care About What A Dude With A Stupid Hair Cut Has To Say.

If Change Is Important To You, Talk About Stuff That Needs To Be Addressed Like KnifeCrime, Teen Portrayal. etc..

[TheProfessorFunk]

So aboriginal mortality being 3 times the Australian average wouldn't be considered important?

Nice.

: (

I'm not even sure what that show is but.... :(

On a side note, the ending, for strange some reason, cracked me up XD

[TheProfessorFunk]

Oh it's all Australian references so it might not make sense. Just imagine any old cruddy soap - they're all the same different shades of trash.

Haha maybe it's the pants? I look so stupid...

[potatoman09]

i remember the chicken egg-sibit well :) lovin this shit my man keep it coming!!!

[TheProfessorFunk]

Can someone say....

Bam?

[potatoman09]

haha way to tell someone to "get off their soap box" by climbing up on your own. and it takes a special kind of scum bag to not only miss the point this guy is trying to make but to also abuse him for trying to be creative and clever.

congratulations TotallyPink12345 you are my nomination for cock sucker of the week!!!!!

I know something that cracks the last line in the vid. Every living creature do not die. *looks at some of the immortal species that live in the sea.*

@TotallyPink12345 All Words Are Not Proper Nouns. Please Do Not Treat Them As Such.

[LOTRandSG1fan]

Check out Hungry Beast. It turns out that wearing ridiculously wide pants have medical benefits, or does it?

[benh66]
