Plain speaking Australian politician Mark Latham ridiculed contemporary Australian male culture this week, complaining beer swilling macho men of old have been emasculated by feminists and neo-conservatives.

"Australian mates and good blokes have been replaced by nervous wrecks,
metrosexual knobs and tossbags," the former opposition leader declared in his new book of political philosophy 'A Conga Line of Suckholes', "It's the revenge of the nerds."

Mr Lathan previously attracted acclaim for calling Australian PM John Howard an 'arse licker' over his backing for George Bush and the President 'the most incompetent and dangerous president in living memory'.. His views also struck a chord with comments by flamboyant British DJ (and new Skrufff contributor) Judge Jules, who in 2004 told a local journalist he'd noticed a similar trend when touring there.

"The best way I could describe Aussie male clubbers' attire was a 'gay surfer' look," said Jules (writing on his weekly website diary). "The interviewer didn't take offence and agreed."

Hmm... I don't feel like a gay surfer?
