Paul Oakenfold's New Neighbour From Hell

Specific details of Paul Oakenfold's London address were splashed all
over the British press this week after it was announced that much hated
British Prime Minister Tony Blair has bought the house next door.

"Guitar-playing Tony Blair can look forward to jamming sessions with
next door neighbour Paul Oakenfold," the Guardian predicted, adding that
former squatter turned Madonna superstar producer William Orbit also
lives in the same luxury Bayswater square.

President Bush's acolyte reportedly paid ý3.6million to live next door
to Britain's most commercially successful superstar DJ though Oakey is
unlikely to be too pleased about the renewed publicity surrounding his
wealth.

"I don't understand why people wonder how much money other people are
earning, I wasn't given the job (of DJing)- I'm exactly the same as
them," he complained to Mixmag last year.

"Obviously, I got up and did it and if I wasn't any good then I
wouldn't be here today. Chase your dreams, that's my advice," he said.

DJ magazine could be happier, however, judging by comments they made
last year when they tried and failed to interview him for their annual
Top 100 DJ issue.

"Paul's clearly a very busy man with seemingly impenetrable levels of
management around him and we are only a humble dance magazine," they
explained.

"It would probably have been easier to get an interview with Tony
Blair."

Oakey and Tony's garden square (Connaught Square, by Marble Arch) was
previously the site of London's infamous Tyburn Gallows where thousands
of people were executed at public hangings from the Middle Ages until
just over 200 years ago. According to the Scotsman newspaper, the square
even used to have its own gallows positioned outside No 49, with 'many
of the houses around the square having large iron balconies to give
residents the best views'.

Young Australians 'Utterly Ignore' Drug Prohibitionists

A multi-million dollar anti-drug advertising campaign run by Australian
authorities dubbed Tough on Drugs is failing because few young people
trust the government, leading drug expert Dr Cameron Duff said this
week.

"We face the problem of being utterly ignored by giving a preventative
message," Dr Duff, a director of the Australian Drug Foundation, told
the Herald Sun Government.

"We're trying to compete against these pro-drug websites and the
problem is a lot of that material is factually based. They (young people)
don't trust the Government any more because there's a view the Government
has exaggerated the risks," he admitted.

Dr Duff's comments came days before Australia's general election, which
only the Green Party is fighting on an anti-prohibition harm reduction
platform (ironically attracting a 'substantial amount of sensational
and simplistic; some of it downright untrue press', they point out on
their website).

"We propose that the personal use of drugs should not be a crime," The
Greens declare.

"This is based on the belief that punishing individual drug users
actually does more harm than good. People use illegal drugs for complex
reasons, and the widespread use of illegal drugs indicates that the
criminal law is not acting as a deterrent'," they point out.

Myth: 'Recently, the media have repeated dire warnings about alleged "super

day, our government claims that new strains of potent marijuana are far
more dangerous than the innocuous grass of the 1960s or '70s. Such
claims are utter nonsense . . .')

Metrosexual Slur Taints Bush and Kerry

A prominent Fox News reporter admitted he fabricated quotes attributed
to John Kerry this week, which labelled the presidential candidate a
manicure obsessed metrosexual.

"Didn't my nails and cuticles look great? What a good debate," Carl
Cameron suggested Kerry said after the first presidential TV debate.

"Women should like me. I do manicure: I'm metrosexual ý he (President
Bush)'s a cowboy."

Fox News subsequently claimed their reporter had dreamed up the quotes
due to 'fatigue and bad judgement rather than malice' while in a
bizarre coincidence Fox's sister newspaper the Sunday Times (UK) also
announced that the metrosexual term is out of date.

"Goodbye ladyboy. Hello geezer", the Rupert Murdoch owned British
broadsheet spat, putting metrosexual at the bottom of their what's hot/
what's not Style section column.

The furore came just over a year after both President Bush and his
sinister sidekick Don Rumsfeld were positively identified with the term, in
a light hearted feature published by the New York Times (not owned by
Murdoch).

"Rummy is a metrosexual," a gay political reporter told paper, "he may
be a warmonger, he may be intemperate, but just about every third woman
I know wants him."

The journalist was equally enthused about George W's gay friendly
mannerisms, declaring 'whenever you see him walking off Air Force One with
that little furball (dog- slang ed) Barney under his arm, that canine
puff of air that most drag queens wouldn't be caught dead with, it's like
he's halfway to a Chanel rabbit fur handbag," he gushed.
