You're a bit late aren't you?

Goodness. All this hoo-haa over a song by the Chaser that was first unleashed on the public in February now gets attention nine months later.

We are surely witnessing one of the most boring election campaigns with some of the most boring politicians in the history of this nation. Add a bored media to the mix and you get some pretty old news.

The hoo-haa surrounds the broadcast of The Eulogy Song, which as the Herald today reports "criticises the way dead celebrities were 'eulogised' by the public". Or as the song puts it - 'Even pricks turn into top blokes once they're dead'.

You know the people. The delightful Stan Zemanek, the caring and meek Kerry Packer, the softly spoken Steve Irwin and the environmentally friendly Peter Brock.

But they also throw into the mix a bit of jaw-dropping references - Donald Bradman, Princess Diana and then, not quite, Belinda Emmett.

The song was first performed at the Sydney Theatre Company in February this year and then again in July during a return season of the teams Chaser's play Dead Caesar.

Based around Shakespeare's tragedy Julius Caesar it explores the central theme of the song:
"It's not how they live that counts, but how we re-write the book. When it comes to truth it's best to use restraint. It pays to throw away the facts and have a rose coloured look."

Julius Caesar - John Howard. Marcus Brutus - Peter Costello. What's the difference?

And then for it to reach the front-page of the Herald website and Melbourne talkback today all because six viewers complained to the ABC and then was echoed by the tut-tut's from Howard and Rudd, you have probably have the beginning of what is a truly boring election.... until of course...

Et tu, Brute? Then fall, Caesar!
