Sam The Koala Can Get Stuffed

By New Matilda on August 13, 2009

As-salaam alaykum, gentle listeners, and welcome to the ninth episode of The Media Ate My Brain. In this exciting chapter, Ben Pobjie and Cam Smith ask:

Is it too soon to steal the stuffed corpse of Sam the Koala from the Melbourne Museum and set it on fire? (Yes, because it probably isn’t there yet.)

Why was Andrew Bolt buying all that fertiliser last weekend?

AND

Knickers — are they k-necessary?
