Culture Buzz Yikes…fortunately she's okay. Prime Minister Julia Gillard had to be pulled to safety after she was ambushed by an angry crowd of protesters in Canberra, Australia. She lost her shoe!
Politics Buzz It’s illegal to camp out in the parks in Melbourne, Australia, so protesters decided to wear their tents as clothing. In America, this is what we would call trolling the cops. (via mpviral.com)
Some talented American bros travel to Australia to take on their counterparts. Awesomeness ensues. (via reddit.com)
Politics Buzz Julia Gilard has some sticky fingaz. Actual moment of ass grabbery or photo taken out of context? Surely it's the latter, but we can dream.
Culture Buzz Isn't putting “The Flash” on your car sort of tempting fate? Starting November 30th, DC Universe will be tooling around the Outback.
Culture Buzz No, it's not an iPhone App or the latest failed reality show…it's a golf course in Australia that's been infested by sharks. About six bull sharks were washed into the water hazards after a nearby river flooded onto the golf course. And now they're breeding. Everything in Australia can kill you, even golf.
Culture Buzz You really don't want to know. Knock off Uggs are made with the pelts of Chinese raccoon dogs rather than than the sheep skin found in authentic Uggs. In order to pass the savings for these counterfeits on to the customer, the raccoon dogs are tortured and murdered in a mind-blowingly horrific fashion. WARNING: Graphic.
Celebrity Buzz Who wants a good shudder? Courtney Stodden, Doug Hutchison and their two dogs (insert “two mangy animals plus a couple of dogs” joke here) appear on Australian TV for a characteristically cringe-inducing interview. Among the revelations: They're angling for a reality show (duh), “51+16=sexy love” (ew), and Courtney can't stop touching her boobs (duh and ew). (via radaronline.com)
Culture Buzz So is it a hypnotic stop-motion film, a sculpture, or a combination of the two that somehow transcends categorization? Either way, very cool Australia. (via thisiscolossal.com)

Food Buzz I love roadtrips. And food. And what better way to celebrate both than to read up on the most famous monuments of food, located at famous road trip destinations? This list is second only to me being there myself. (facts via roadsideamerica)
Australian TV host Karl Stefanovic was interviewing the Dalai Lama when he cracked a joke about the religious leader going into a pizza shop. Problem is, it all got lost in translation.
Australian psych band Beaches takes BuzzFeed's Off The Record cam for a peek at their 2011 spring gigs in New York. Featuring cute doggies, air boxing, annoying bongos and, of course, some heavy live performances.
Celebrity Buzz In what was surely just a camera flash away from a gory trampling rampage, resulting in Robert Pattinson's face being even flatter and weirder than usual, here's RPat and ReSpoon (that's your new tabloid nickname, Reese Witherspoon) posing with a weeping pachyderm. A ham-fisted photo-op promoting “Water for Elephants” in Sydney. More over at Celebuzz. Use our Photo Editor at the bottom of the page to put the Crying Elephant in a sad photo of your choosing!
Celebrity Buzz As went Howard Hughes with immense wealth and fame, Katy Perry is slowly going mad. Hopefully, continuing with the Howard Hughes allusion, that's only yellow Powerade in the bottle. More at Celebuzz.
Culture Buzz When confronted with apocalyptic disasters, humanity does what it does best….gets plowed. When the Biblical deluge comes, women and children and booze first.
After it was announced that the successful game franchise wouldn't see a release in Australia, one Aussie knew it was time to fight. Or at least make a YouTube rant. But really, WTF Australia? (Source : Teztify.com)
