Sheik 'N' Dave

So yesterday I heard some funny news. I was crusing along, minding my own business, rocking out to something appropriately cool, when a friend of mine from Sydney called. Marty is his name, he's one of those poor, unfortunate types. You know, a ranga. Anyway, he started ranting about me being on some bondage website in Sydney, or at least, that's what I was hearing. Marty is a big bondage fan (this info is for  future employee's mainly). So this website turned out not to be S&M.com, but SMH.com.au, the well respected Sydney Morning Herald site - easy mistake to make.

So Marty, my red-headed informant, continues to tell me that the doco I did on Islam was now being shown on this site and that my fat mug was front page centre. It seemed unlikely, as the doco was made in 2008, but I suppose in the modern era of manufactured crap and mundane masterchef shows, they're always looking for content.

When I got home I ran straight to the computer to see the madness, and sure enough, there I was sitting with my man Sheik Hilaly on the front page of SMH.com.au. Clicking on the link, I could see that the entire doco was there. Turns out that the Sydney Morning Herald are buying new content for their tv site and mine was purchased from SBS and the Production company behind the Embedded series, Red Ithaka. The documentary was Directed by a talented filmmaker called Gary Doust. You can see his stuff here www.garydoust.com So, if you are interested in the world of Islam, Sheik Hilaly or you wanna know what I think about when I sit down to pee, tune in.
