Who is Gorgoeus?

Tristan "aka Gorgeous" (known to his mother as "Trissy") is one of Australia's finest indigenous exports. Sporting a neatly trimmed beard and a penchant for turtle necks that aren't quite sure if they are turtle necks or a normal jumper, he has been touted by "The Jizzball Gazzette" (South Africa's 53rd most popular newsletter) as the first genuine african / american prime minister in Australian history.

# 223 : The Jackson Jive


The Jackson Jive was a controversial comedy sketch performed on a special reunion episode of the Australian television program Hey Hey It's Saturday on 7 October 2009. The sketch, in which six participants in blackface performed a song by the Jackson Five, attracted international media attention, with both condemnation and defence. Most of the coverage was negative. The skit started off a debate about racism in Australian culture and society compared to other English speaking nations. American musician Harry Connick Jr. appeared on the program as a guest judge and panned the skit; he and his band performed later on in the show. With the media attention, the original clip of the skit has now become a popular viral video, as well as an internet meme popularised by sites such as 4chan and Ebaumsworld.

These are people that look like Tristan.
