The first order of business for Kevin08 was to issue an apology to the Stolen Generations. The apology was mostly well received, but some were left asking what 'saying sorry' would actually achieve in practical terms...

  • Promotion of degrading stereotypes. Any one who interprets this degrading propaganda as factual data is what I like to call an external-source dependent thinker. Basically, you're unable to critically evaluate information through objective and independent analysis.

    You don't think for yourselves.

  • Lots of big words, I'm sure there's a point lost in there somewhere.

  • Offensive and blatantly displays cultural prejudice. Absolutely tasteless.

  • Not sure to whom or what you're referring. Please be more specific.

  • I lived in Alice Springs for two years. I met many Pitjatjantjara people and learnt about their conditions. Even if the purpose of this cartoon was to show the conditions under which most Aboriginals live, I can say Lucien has UNDERSTATED their conditions. Most Aboriginal people live with trachoma diabetes, malnutrition, extreme poverty. Go to Alice Springs and walk down the dry Todd River for a day in, say, about 6 months. Ask them if "Sorry" translated into new eyesight and kidneys.

  • mate it uses stereotypes to make a very valid thought-provoking point - for all the rhetoric of politicians at the end of the day they're just parading around while the aboriginals dont get any better

  • lol, i laughed hard at this video

  • Yes the stolen generation what a pity. I heard a story from an aboriginal lady who told her story about being taken away from her mother at a young age. She was looked after and brought up by a white family. She ended up as a head matron in a queensland hospital . Just think what a terrible life she has endured.

  • You people stop being so politically correct about these things and have a bit of a laugh about it.

  • Rudd has gone!!!

  • i lulled.

  • mate the purpose of satire is to find a humorous way to make a serious point, and I think this video does it quite well. everyone talks a lot about what we should be doing for the aborigines, but nothing seems to ever get done.

    by the way, are you in high school or just started uni because its only those kinds of people who are so arrogantly infatuated with the jargon they've learned.

  • Well said King.

    As a race we have been conquered by many different races over time.

  • Billiant ! Love yr work!

  • But it's true. Stop being such an optimist. People like you are the arseholes of society. Grow up and realise that the world isn't what you'd expect.

    And a failed attempt of articulation, aswell.
