Fight For Your Right Corey...

Corey Worthington of Melbourne, Australia, threw a party this week. 500 teenagers showed up, and among other acts, vandalized property including neighbors' cars. Apparently, the neighbors were "terrified" (give me a break). 30 Victoria Police, with dogs, showed up at the suburban residence. The Victoria police are considering issuing a $20,000 AD ($18,000 USD) bill to Worthington's parents who were out of town at the time of the incident.

Clearly, the kid made a mistake. But here's why he's awesome (besides the fact that he reminds me of my Australian boyfriend when I was 17). In an interview, on national (Australian) television, Worthington (sans his shirt exposing his nipple ring) is badgered by a reporter who attempts to discipline and lecture the teen. Worthington however, holds his ground, and it rocks. He refuses to apologize, refuses to take his sunglasses off, and when asked if he has a message to give teens who might be thinking about partying when their parents are out of town, he says they should call him and he'll help them throw a kick ass party. When the reporter asks Worthington if he's talked to his parents, he tells her he's been successfully avoiding them. It's gorgeous. In fact, the interview just gets funnier as the reporter gets angrier.

First of all, the reporter is obnoxious and deserves to look like the idiot Worthington makes out of her. Who does she think she is? His parents? The police? Second, Worthington, having clearly taken several bong rips prior to the interview, has a couple valid points. It isn't really his fault the party got so out of hand. The actions the police refer to causing havoc did not occur on his property. And above all else, everyone is talking about how it was the party of the century. I mean, that has to count for something, no?

That's not the point though. The point, is simply that he's hilarious, the reporter's a bitch, and you should watch the clip. Now.
