Desperate and Proud


Desperation has now risen to new heights in Sydney – according to news.com.au, 10 brave souls will plaster themselves across six billboards in Sydney from today in the hope of finding love. Now that’s balls of steel right there! I can’t find a wife- fine, I’ll now put up billboards of myself in my underwear telling the world that I’m desperate, lonely and in need of some Mclovin Happy Meal. I’m looking for chicks that scream a lot and who likes marking their territory with urine- ok maybe not the last one. I’m sure their friends, relatives and people at work won’t notice the billboards. . .Yep, you guys are doing the right thing. I’m sure when any of you walk down the streets people won’t look at you and say ‘Oohh. . .there’s that poor, lonely guy in the billboard, F**k what a sad bugger!’

Billboards will display five men and five women, dressed in their underwear, requesting commuters to register on a dating website. This ballsy plan was created by a North Sydney single woman- Bea Obradovic, 40. Frustrated by her own experiences with internet sites, she finally decided that “it was time for drastic action”.

With no financial backing anywhere in sight, Ms Obradovic has decided to fund the project entirely on her own. News.com.au reports that she apparently refinanced her house to pay for the ads and hired PR guru and cricket wife Rachel Friend to get her message out.

“There is nothing embarrassing about wanting companionship,” Ms Obradovic said. “There is nothing wrong with admitting you don’t want to spend the rest of your life alone.”

Yes Ms Obradovic there is nothing embarrassing about wanting companionship and there is definitely nothing wrong with admitting you don’t want to spend the rest of your life alone – but f**k there is definitely something wrong with plastering billboards of yourself in your freakin’ underwear with a website entitled ‘wifewanted.com.au’. Might as well pass around flyers and post posters of yourself in walls and buses with a personal ad that goes something like “Angry, loser middle aged wanker wallowing in an unending sea of lifeless, sagging lonesomeness looking for deprived leech-like scabby teeny bopper to abuse with Vietnam war stories, minute man sex and John Denver albums.” Perfect!

Billboards will apparently be put up on main roads and freeways at Ashfield, Blakehurst, Tempe, Wyatt Park, Liverpool and Arncliffe.

Well actually, I might try approaching one of the women in the billboard with an email that goes like this: “Hi, I’m Bruno, I like eating Nutella and vegemite sandwiches in the rain, watching Scooby Doo reruns, urinating on ants in the park and spitting at strangers on the subway; you eat nachos on milkshake, have sprinted the Great Western Highway, and sweat curry freely and frequently. Must wear size two shirts.” Yep, that should hook one of those honeys up!
