Personally having heard the album I don't really care about leaks anymore - even of songs we haven't heard. The interest for me has definitely faded, it's kinda mehh.
So too has my interest in posters intentionally using poor grammar and mis-spelling words in an attempt to disguise their identity or appear to be someone they are not.

I wanted to fuck Natalie Imbruglia soooooo bad. Oh memories.
Yeah I used to think she was pretty tidy too, but have you seen her lately - man she has gone to the dogs. She's too skinny and her face just doesn't look right!!!!

Bigfoot... I thought Australia had werewolves.
The Howling III paradox.
Our Bigfoot equivalents in Australia are the "Yowie" as well as the "Bunyip".
According to wiki:
Yowie
Yowie is the modern generic, and somewhat affectionate, term for an unidentified hominid reputed to lurk in the Australian wilderness. It is an Australian cryptid similar to the Himalayan Yeti and the North American Bigfoot.
Rather confusingly, Yowie (or "Yowie-Whowie") is also the name of a completely different mythological character in native Australian Aboriginal folklore. This version of the Yowie is said to be a bizarre, hybrid beast resembling a cross between a lizard and an ant with big red eyes on the side of his head, big canine teeth and large fangs. It emerges from the ground at night to eat whatever it can find, including humans. This creature's characteristics and legend are sometimes interchangeable with those of the bunyip.[citation needed]
The origin of the term "Yowie" in the context of unidentified hominids is unclear. Some presume that it simply arose through confusion with the aforementioned Aboriginal legend. On the other hand, Jonathan Swift's yahoos from Gulliver's Travels are sometimes cited as a source. The word "Yowie" was also apparently a slang term for the Orangutan in Victorian England.
The earliest published reference to the word in its current usage is in Donald Friend's Hillendiana, [1] a collection of writing about the goldfields near Hill End in New South Wales. Friend refers to the "Yowie" as a species of "bunyip", an Aboriginal term used to describe monsters said to dwell in many Australian rivers and lakes. Researcher Rex Gilroy popularized the word in newspaper articles during the 1970s and 1980s.[2]
Bunyip
The bunyip (usually translated as "devil" or "spirit"[1]) is a mythical creature from Australian folklore. Various accounts and explanations of bunyips have been given across Australia since the early days of the colonies. It has also been identified as an animal recorded in Aboriginal mythology, similar to known extinct animals.
Descriptions of bunyips vary widely. It is usually given as a sort of lake monster. Common features in Aboriginal descriptions include a dog-like face, dark fur, a horse-like tail, flippers, and walrus-like tusks or horns. According to legend, they are said to lurk in swamps, billabongs, creeks, riverbeds, and waterholes.

Google tells me Tia was born in Hawaii but she is of Chinese, Spanish, and Filipino descent. All I can say is she has a great blend of genetics, where do I place my order for a girl like her.

Here are some more I was just emailed. These were in Victoria 2 or 3 days before the bushfires came through:

Yeah I love Slash too but I actually think he's lazy rather than a one trick pony. He needs the right people around him to push him in order to bring out his best.

I know you probably didn't mean that in a real bad way but isn't that a little racist?
No, just a fact. Races have more difficulty differentiating people from another race than themselves. Kinda like not being able to single out an ant, to put it on the edge.
Yeah I've heard that said too, that many Asian races find that Europeans all look the same.
I always loved Tia Carrera in Wayne Worlds. Maybe we should start a thread for this in The Garden, since this thread seems to be getting more interest than anything in the GNR world

I think the packaging looks to be on a similar level of professionalism as the rest of the marketing/release campaign. So it could be real Neemo
