I guess to an Aussie nothing is sacred eh?
"Strewth, it's the story of Genesis in Strine" http://news.telegraph.co.uk/news/mai...4/ixworld.html The Australian broadcaster who translated large sections of the New Testament into Strine has turned his attention to the Bible once again This time has rewritten well-known Old Testament stories in the Australian vernacular. Published in 2003, the 90-page Aussie Bible (well, bits of it anyway) proved an unexpected hit and sold 100,000 copies in Australia. It was promoted as a "ripping yarn about Jesus of Nazareth" in which Mary was "a pretty special sheila" and the Three Wise Men were "eggheads from out east." The sequel, More Aussie Bible, http://www.theaussiebible.com.au/images/onsale_ad.jpg which recasts Genesis and Proverbs, will be published in May by the Bible Society of New South Wales. |
