Illness and work rights

I've not been well. I don't like the cold. I don't like the heater. And my head seems to hurt all the time. BUT I do at last have the right to work here in Melbourne, so have started job hunting, and things are looking vague but promising.

One of the more interesting discoveries is the homophobic policies of Exabytes.com, who, I was reliably informed, have taken down the Ben's Bitches (www.bensbitches.com) site because it is on the Disarseter Records site which also hosts the Panda Head Curry (?) site *and* PHC have lyrics in one of their songs that touches on the issue of homosexuality.

The lyrics include the concern, for example, facing every young male, that if you ride on the LRT you are obviously gay because it is phallic. The song warns homosexuals not to go near the singer or he'll be mean to them. Or somesuch. But such is the level of homophobia at Exabytes that they've taken it down. The most ludicrous thing about this is that they've taken it down on the basis that the lyrics were somehow *adult* content, rather then puerile nonsense. Ah well.
