Who Cares Who Reads the News From the Frigging Autocue?

OK, I'll admit it - I've had a shocking week. All four of us here at home are sick and my patience is running thinner than one of Nicole Richie's arms.

I've just seen a commercial for Channel Nine News where they're airing some sound bites of candid chats with "people in the street" (yeah right...). These people are yabbering on about how much they connect with "Bruce and Heather" who are our local Queensland news readers.

Seriously, who gives a fuck who reads a totally pre written script from an Autocue machine???

They are told what to wear and are dressed by professionals, their makeup is done by another pro, a light tells them which way to look and if anything unexpected happens the producer or director tells them what to do via their headsets!


I'm positive that they could train monkeys to do the job IF they could find a pair bland enough.

Many thanks to the lads from the Football365 forums for creating a whole line of accurate motivational posters.

Pet Hate.

I have many pet hates but an interview with some gimp I saw on some crap TV current affairs show yesterday reminded me of one of them:

When people use "somethink" instead of "something".

THERE IS NO "K" IN THE WORD "THING"!

Got it??

I would go so far as to say that if I hear you say "somethink" I instantly subtract 100 IQ points off of your intelligence. I don't care if you're a fucking dead-set genius, if you say "somethink" your opinion immediately means nothing to me.

So THINK before you say SOMETHINK!!

Quote of the Day...

To blow a stump.

As in "I think he's just blown a stump".

My wife's favourite way to inform me that someone has done a poo.
