I'm such an arsehole

You can't dance

The iconic kangaroo dance

An Australian comedienne has created a parody musical of an iconic Australian story: Rachael Raygun Gunn's journey to epic humiliation at the Paris Olympics. Unfortunately, however, Gunn and her representatives threatened legal action to stop the production, to ensure that her brand remained strong and respected.

Now, Gunn's lawyers have reportedly trademarked the poster for the musical and advised Broadbridge that she was "not allowed" to do the kangaroo dance because Gunn "owns" it.

Y'know, it's hard to see how she could damage the brand any more than the owner has already. LMAO


Stephanie Broadbridge noted that the kangaroo was an Olympic-level dance, asking How would I possibly be able to do that without any formal breakdancing training? Sounds like she was taking the piss. I hope she was taking the piss.


In her report for the BBC, Rossiter notes Stephanie Broadbridge as saying:

She said: "They [Gunn's legal team] were worried I was damaging her brand, which I would never."

But she cut her off. Broadbridge had actually gone on to say:

“They were also worried that I was damaging her brand, which I would never do. “She doesn’t need me to do that.”

So, yeah, she'd already beaten me to the punchline. shrug
