To be honest Viks I did'nt actually read the story (too much work at work!) just heard it on the wireless this morning and thought they looked funny in the pictures!
I do agree with you some of our Aussie friends leave a lot to be desired on the equal opportunities front however as is every country including ours!
I dont think they even considered or thought about their actions in that way - they were just trying to be funny (I guess without seeing them perform etc etc) so its more likely they are just stoopid rather than anything else.
Oh well they made the headlines anyway......
