Can we have some fun please?

I thought PC-nonsense was bad enough in NZ. Seems like it has spread to Australia as well, or at least their Cricketers Association.

You see, someone has lampooned Shame Watson on MySpace by setting up a fake entry, and having a profile as follows:

"I'm Shane Watson, but you probably recognise me cause I'm hot. I like to model, especially nude. I like hot chicks. I like to play cricket, but I'm usually injured." Under the subject title: "Who I'd Like To Meet", it simply states "Blonde chicks".

Now most of us would recognise this as a bit of harmless fun, probably by a teenager judging by the quality of humour. But oh no, the Australian Cricketers Association describe it as a "pathetic exploitation" and a plague.

Enter David Boon, cricketer and drinker extraordinare and current Australian selector. There's one of him, too, with the identifying tag "Shit, did I put ice in my Esky?"

His reaction? "If someone wants to have a bit of fun, good luck to them."

Hallelujah. At least someone hasn't lost their sense of humour.
