Shame

Brandon is a successful, good-looking yet private 30-something, living and working in New York. Unknown to those around him, however, he is battling sexual addiction. His life becomes disrupted when his sister moves in, uninvited, for an indefinite amount of time. Michael Fassbender is brilliant in this bizarrely beautiful tale of addiction, sexuality, and siblings. It’s a fascinating film that has received much critical success, and we have a few DVDs to give away. For your chance to pick one up tell us about your last unwanted visitor.

My naked neighbour notifying me of a fire in our laneway. I wondered whether I would rather handle the heat of the fire than get too close to someone who had clearly just left his own very heated moment (there was physical evidence of this). Oh the shame.

A mouse got in to my car and couldn't get out so it started to make a nest in behind the radio and would come out and nibble on any food I left which is the only reason I knew it was there

My last unwanted visitor stayed over for an entire weekend of mad passionate sex. We did it in every position we could think of (which was a lot of them). We were so into it I used up all the condoms but wouldn't interrupt our constant coitus to go buy some more. Well, my visitor was actually *wanted* up to that point, but I discovered some weeks after she left in the wee hours with my wallet that she'd given me a little present in return: herpes, the gift that keeps on giving.

The above might well contain one or more lies, but this sort of nastiness might happen if I don't see 'Shame' so as to shame and shock me into behaving. And if I don't win this comp I might never see the movie, spend the time masturbating frantically to net porn instead, and as a result end up with a very nasty rash.

Certain people I dislike immensely turning up uninvited to drink in my kitchen... With the permission of my housemate - who wasn't even home. #rage

I had a few mormons on the weekend come to my house.
I just greeted them in my undies and singlet and they walked away.

the last unwanted visitor I had was my cousin. She was meant to stay three days, it was nearly 2 months. i would come home to her having sex with a different guy or girl nearly every day often in a new area of my house. she drank all my booze and replaced it with undrinkable crap, then stuck a bunch of my dvds to my car one night and called it installion art.

Probably the mouse my cat brought into the house, half-alive, screaming and running for its poor little life. Cats can be so cruel. The visitor itself was unwanted, but more so was the fact that this visitor would soon be no more.

My neighbour. He has returned after a 6 month abscense/disappearance to seemingly only argue with his wife. He might not be a vistor to my house but his arguments keep me awake.

If I was to follow my country's political rhetoric at the moment I'd say ASYLUM SEEKERS! In the words of Derryn Hinch I say "Shame, shame, shame Australia!"

Family friends - an elderly gentleman and his daughter, who rudely interupts and talks over people in a conversation because she knows everything, about every topic you could possibly mention. Hasn't been around for a while, must have pissed her off last time she was around ;)
