THE FRONT FELL OFF

On August 19th 2007, an oil tanker off the coast of Australia split in two,

dumping 20,000 tons of crude oil. Senator Collins, a member of the

Australian Parliament, appeared on a TV news program to reassure

the Australian public. This actual interview is so funny, you'd swear

it was a Saturday Night Live or Monty Python skit.

Actually, it is a skit - the gentlemen are the Australian comedy act John Clark and Bryan Dawe.
