The penis owl is real and has cost the ACT government around $75k AUD a year to remove graffiti from it until they installed CCTV to prevent further vandalism.

There’s also a giant butt plug statue in the suburb of Phillip in the ACT.

Sure show the Japanese victims, but then you need to show why they were victims in the first place. So you need to show Japanese Imperialism that committed atrocities in Nanking and the attack on Pearl Harbour.

Maybe we could go further and show that Japanese Imperialism was driven by the existential threat of Western Imperialism, which does not in any way lessen the horrors committed by Imperial Japan.

Sometimes the whole story can’t be told in a single film. Not all of it is important to the message or topic the author, director and producers wish to send or examine.

Gothic 3 was so broken it was impossible to get it to even run on my PC.

It took me 8 years but I finally got a refund when the Australian Consumer Commission won against Valve over their anti-consumer practices.
