Competition To Find Aussie PM's Email Address

Internet Ninja writes "While we can all send anti-war emails to 'president' of the USA and even the Australian opposition, nobody can email the Prime Minister of Australia. So the opposition party started a competition to track it down as reported in Australias Sydney Morning Herald."

    Once the PM's email is made public, he will get tons of spam.

    How long do you think it will take them to write laws to kill spam and execute spammers?

      He's probably more concerned about getting "flamed" right now.

    This is just the Prime Minister's pre-emptive strike in the War on Spam.

    No email address = no spam.

    From what I've heard and seen (there is a nude beach here in Toronto) the ones that you want to see naked never get naked... and the ones that you would never want to see naked are always first to shed their clothes. ick.

    And another thing: I hope that all those seats are getting a good steam cleaning after the flight. Nasty.

    doing a search on yahoo.com (people search) is normally a pretty good start, and, a few interesting ones i found in the list of 200 or so are:

    gstjohnny yahoo.com.au
    john_howard_pm_2000 yahoo.com.au
    pm_john_howard hotmail.com
    johnhowardmp yahoo.com
    nakedhornyguy yahoo.com (hahaha)

    now, first - i have to apologize to all those other John Howards out there (yes, even the multiple in australia) for having to share this name - i really cannot believe the guy is still in power.

    oh.. and, how many guys will respond for a measy crate of coke and $100 or linux software? (isn't most linux software = free?). maybe someone at SMH just wants john to be spammed.

    Dears Champion,

    With gratitude we must thank you for finding my email, which was created and forgotten years ago.

    I'd be much grateful if you'd also join the next competition - To Find Aussie PM's password to his own Email Address. The first price would be another thank you letter and three years waive of mandatory anal inspection for people who don't vote dearest Howard(laws will be passed along with other Internet laws later this year), second price is two year...and so on.

    This is a life-time offer you wouldn't want to miss.

    John Howard,

    Prime Minister of Australia

    Criminals? Actually Australians are most likely to be a blend of many different cultures... and generally we are a racially tolarant country. Most of them are people that have chosen to come and live in our great country... and when I look at your DMCA etc, i truly believe that Australia is the real Land of the Free.

    I'm fortunate to live in a country whose leaders dont see it as their business to poke into the affairs of other nations. I think its great that in every crisis we can get away with sending a few rowboats and a handful of troops to keep dictator Bush happy.

    Our nation is of peace and tolerance. The US seems to be about profit and imposing its 'freedoms' on others by force.

    Im proud to be Australian.

    Please dont take enclosed joke too seriously ;)

    There was an Aussie, an American and an African father in the maternity ward... and the nurse announces that all the births were successful, however the staff had got the babies mixed up. The fathers would have to go in and identify their child. So the Aussie grabs the African baby and says 'This black one must be mine!'. 'Surely sir this is the African mans baby?'. 'Well, maybe... but one of the others is American, and i cant take that risk'

    Karma: Rock Bottom, mostly due to insulting all the american mods :D
