Devious Stingray Hires Tree Costume, Kills Brocky

The cheeky stingray who brought a hasty (and probably numbing) end to the life of incorrigible personality Steve Irwin is also believed to be behind the latest death of an Aussie icon, racing driver Peter Brock. That brings stingy's tally to 2 this week. It is believed the creature entered a costumehire shop in Perth's outer suburbs, passed itself off as a 'local', hired a gum tree costume, and drove away. Later, as Peter perrrfect's ubiquitous Holden neared, stingy burst out from the side of the road and caused the accident, during which Brock was killed. Alarm bells are ringing in the usually blissfully ignorant lower class, as two ambassadors of Populism were wiped out in a matter of days. Experts are warning other popular Australian 'celebrities' to be on the lookout for any native flora or fauna. Those tipped to be next on the hitlist include Channel 7's Kochie, seminal 1990's songstress Max Sharam, and in an odd twist of irony, Ozzy Ostrich.
