Hey, Dan, we got
something for you, mate.

Yeah, very... very funny.

- Yeah, you're the preacher man.

Yeah, look, yeah?
You've slaughtered the pig of ignorance.

Cos we checked pigs
and they've got absolutely no idea.

Pigs are saddos, yeah?

Pigs are actually quite intelligent.

We could change it to a hen.
They're well dense.

The magazine.
The picture goes next to your column.

Yeah, yeah. Like, we've, er, like,
mocked up a preacher man cover.

Like, Jonatton just said...

Yo, Danbo.

- Here, what's this?
- Shit, or something.

So we're not running it?

- Unless we are.
- Yeah, but it's just... stupid.

Stupid people think it's cool,
smart people think it's a joke.

Also cool.

- But...
- Max at The Weekend on Sunday agrees.

- So you spoke to him?

- Yeah.

- Good, cos it's in your name, too.
- But that's my camera.

There's the sig, love.

But I didn't sign that.

You pay us the money,
you get your camera back.

Dan!

So?

What are you going to do about it?

I'm gonna tell him not to run it.

My camera, Dan, not your stupid comic.

Look at it.
I look an idiot.

It was worth two grand.

You faked my signature.

(echoing) Preacher man!

(raps) A taxi home with
a bird who's hitting

on you like some kind
of industrial hammer.

You're stroking her tits, tending the

garden, giving the
taxi driver a hard-on.

Now, back home, fingers roam.
Fat reggae

on the decks and you're
feeling the foam.

Trashbat says, "Nice and gently."

"Easy as you park the Bentley."

Bring it down.

Trashbat is two people,

leaping from the Twin Towers,

but they're fucking on the way down.

Trashbat is not George Bush.
Take a smack in the mush.

You're the President Evil,
the resident weasel, the axis of diesel.

Fuck Enron! Fuck Enron!

Fuck Enron cos it's fucking wrong!

Trash!

(echoing) Peace and fucking.

(echoing) Peace and fucking. Believe.
