- dvtrn 6y agoI might even go so far as to say that that is their desirable default state. As long as the front doesn’t fall off.

After reading the first time about "the front fell off", I am given to think that the earlier comedic opportunity has gone sadly missed.

Behind the humor is biting commentary but a lot of education, I learned a lot through their humorous and pretend political interviews as an American about the Australian government and even the European debt crisis. John Clark (the one who kept insisting the front fell off) passed away a few years ago.
