I hadn't heard of Jack Karlson until today, although the Australians amongst us probably will. Scroll down to watch the video - I needed a lovely gurgle today amidst all this horrible news :

'Jack Karlson, who shot to fame after ‘succulent Chinese meal’ arrest, dies aged 82

Karlson immortalised the phrase ‘this is democracy manifest’ in what has been described as Australia’s pre-eminent meme'
