Just let him hit you. Then you have him on actual aggravated assault charges.

Please don’t describe ACA as marvelous. What words would you use to describe Four Corners then?

ACA is trash and Highway Patrol Australia is cheap, time filling rubbish.

I clicked through from the forum link to find out if you wrote a piece about Tony Abbott, Malcom Turnbull or Scott Morrison. I left a bit unsatisfied, but feeling that Australia is much closer to Japan culturally than one would expect.

That shows you the power of a good narrative. Somehow, that trashy TV show managed to make me cheer for the serial pervert con man.

I think you missed the issue. You heard “Serial Pervert Con Man.” In fact, this guy gets off on tricking people out of their breakfast food. He is a “Cereal Pervert Con Man.”

Story was 2015, so he’ll be out soon, or maybe is.

Representing himself, Jones became enraged when Magistrate Linda Bradford-Morgan said she would issue a summons for Julie Anne Jones, who is also charged with fraud.

Yeah, that always works.

Full clip, if you’re curious like me. Had a good laugh.

I saw this on some other show. He is also squatting in the house he’s living in, hasn’t paid rent for months and they can’t get him out. Not sure why the law just doesn’t come and physically move his ass out onto the street, or a jail cell. Laws are obviously different down under.

Yeah, not watching it at the moment but I think this is where they inquire about him squatting.

I’m a simple man. I see a Discworld reference, I upvote it.

And the things he does to a bowl of Cheerios…

Well, I knew pastors were pretty much all con men, and I knew some were perverts as well, but. . . what was the third thing?
