Barnaby Joyce, Deputy Prime Minister of Australia and suspected tomato inbred, has proudly proclaimed he is becoming “Johnny Depp’s Hannibal Lector“, indicating that he doesn’t just want to kill dogs Pistol and Boo but he wants to bloody eat them, too.
Earlier this morning we posted about Depp’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where he was asked about his latest role as the curmudgeon Jonny in Australia’s ‘Biosecurity Matters‘. “Did you watch it?” asked Jimmy, to which Johnny replied: “No, because I didn’t want to kill myself.” Fair enough.
He also described Barnaby Joyce – somewhat accurately – as looking like he was “inbred with a tomato”, and is was this that Joyce responded to at a press conference this morning.
“I think I’m turning into Jonny Depp’s Hannibal Lecter, aren’t I?” he said.
“I’m inside his head, I’m pulling little strings and pulling little levers. Long after I’ve forgotten about Mr Depp, he’s remembering me.”
When asked what vegetable he’d rather be compared to, he said:
“Something sleek and sensitive, just like me.”
Aside from the very worrying fact that Pistol and Boo may soon be served with some fava beans and a nice VB, between Joyce and Peter Dutton, all we need is for someone to accidentally call our PM “Malcolm Turnip” and we’ll officially have the contents of a vegetable crisper instead of a government.
