Aussie politician eats his ear wax on TV, what bad habbits have you seen ppl do?
So I'm reading my morning paper, and on page 2, I read about a presidential hopeful in Australia who was cought picking his ear wax and EATING it. What's worse, he did it on camera.
I can not fathom anyone eating ear wax. WTF? I particularly like the wording they used in the paper with a few euphamisms thrown in.
Have any of you seen as disgusting as this in public? It's OK, it's Halloween, so our stomachs can take it.

Aussies chew over video of potential PM Party leader caught in ear-wax eating incident BY KATIE ROOK National Post, with files from Reuters [email protected] It is not a typical politics scandal, but the front-runner in the Australian election campaign is suddenly dogged by an old video clip in which he apparently eats his own ear wax. The YouTube clip of Kevin Rudd digging at his ear canal and then nibbling on what he recovers has garnered more than 240,000 hits on the popular video-sharing site. Looking rather bored during Question Period in the House of Representatives, Mr. Rudd, 50, head of the Labor Party but at the time of the six-yearold video just a backbencher, is seen first fingering his chin with his left hand, then leaning on his palm before averting his eyes and allowing his fingertips to creep backward. His dig is aggressive and efficient. Once complete, he brings the finger to his lips for a clandestine chomp � for a moment he seems to notice a camera directly in front of him. But, he has already committed to the snack. Some versions of the video reportedly layer the clip with Led Zepplin�s classic Stairway to Heaven, retitled as Stairway to Kevin. None of Mr. Rudd�s fellow politicians seem to notice, and he leans back while touching his lips together. Polls have shown Mr. Rudd has a healthy lead over veteran conservative Prime Minister John Howard ahead of a Nov. 24 parliamentary election. There is yet to be any indication of what effect Mr. Rudd�s hygiene regime will have on his image. The YouTube clip has become big news in Australia, although it has not had a noticeable effect on the polling. The online video is one among a handful that are undermining the major parties� election advertising. A spoof Chinese propaganda film depicts Mr. Rudd as a communist sympathizer. �Topmost politician Rudd seeks votes from eager and impressionable voteholders,� the clip proclaims, as a beaming Mr. Rudd in a Mao suit smiles down on cheering supporters and Labor lawmakers holding aloft red books and flags. �Rudd impress and frighten Australian persons with his earnestness offensive. Space travels bless Rudd with control of movements of planets and rising of sun,� reads the clip, subtitled and set to heroic Chinese music and commentary. To attract crucial youth votes, both major parties have embraced the Internet with a slew of online campaign announcements, while voters are bombarded with millions of dollars a day worth of election advertising. But the twominute Rudd-as-Mao clip, put together by Sydney law student Hugh Atkin and billed as a rejected Labor advertising angle, has been viewed thousands of times since its posting this week, outrating official party material. Mr. Howard, 68, has not escaped YouTube pillory either as he seeks re-election for a fifth time in the face of what pundits believe is near-certain conservative defeat. A bobbing Mr. Howard puppet recalls, in a video titled Search for a scapegoat, how he mounted fear campaigns against refugees and Islamic extremists to secure victories in 2001 and 2004. �Now it�s 2007 and that time again. I need to find something special to scare the people into voting for me. I need to pull that rabbit out of a hat, I need to find the perfect scapegoat,� the clip by �Killerspudly� confides to almost 50,000 viewers. The official party Internet fare is far more bland, taking the form of traditional TV advertising without the added cost. The Conservatives are targeting Labor and Mr. Rudd�s union ties and tax policies, while Labor has attacked Mr. Howard�s refusal to sign the Kyoto climate pact, which surveys show is a major issue, particularly with young voters. |
Whatever floats his boat.
The queen picking her nose.
In my book of disgusting etiquette
Nose: Picking ok, eating the picked part is not
Ear: Cleaning ear by any means(finger, q-tip, pen) ok, eating is not
Nails: Ok to bite finger nails, not ok to bite toe nails
If I missed anything I don't want to know anwyays
A while ago, a friend and I were wondering whether we could get a scholarship in Russia, and we went to the Russian Embassy here in Brasilia in order to find out what we had to do. The guy in charge of the education sector then started telling us what we had to do to study in Russia. That was one of the most hilarious moments in my life.
As he started talking about how hard we�d have to study, and how important culture is in R�ssia, he picked his nose, and even twisted his finger in there. After making sure his nasal cavity was clean, he then threw the yellow ball miles away. We lol�d 
Here's the original clip;

It's ok, PKC still rides to work on a kangaroo so some myths are still intact.
Public nose picking is wrong, sit for long long enough in Sydney traffic and people just get bored or something, figure they're in the privacy of their lounge room and start digging for gold up there.
I like to honk the horn at them, point and cringe in disgust.
People really can turn looking like this-> 
in humiliation
