The Only Thing Worse Than Being Too Repressed Is Not Being Repressed Enough

Rightly or wrongly, there are three countries in the word I always associate with idiot machoism: Spain, the US and Australia. (I’m surprised I didn’t chuck Italy in there but there you go). OH AND BY THE WAY SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE SPANISH OR AMERICAN OR AUSTRALIAN I’M NOT PREJUDICED OR NOTHING.

But those kind of places as far as I’m concerned seem to encourage the camp. Maybe it’s a reaction against it, or maybe they are two sides of the same coin.

Take the Spanish and their maricóns. But they have Almodovar:

and the Americans have John Waters and the eating of dog shit:

but the Australians do have Kath & Kim:

They win.
