Falcon Heene will be haunted by hoax

Sunday, 25 October 2009 8:41 P GMT+10

While this couple who faked this balloon boy incident are obviously total pillocks who deserve to be punished for what they did, you've really gotta feel sorry for them. I mean, imagine being that needy and insecure that you would even consider d

Sex, violence and reality TV

Thursday, 1 October 2009 1:20 P GMT+10

It's pretty obvious that reality TV shows don't exactly attract the creme de la creme of society. Actually, it's starting to look like they attract its creme de la crim!See, the prime suspect in the gruesome murder of a porn star called F

Recurring phrase in McGurk murder reporting

Monday, 14 September 2009 12:40 P GMT+10

The murder of Michael McGurk is absolutely fascinating. It's like a bloody straight-to-DVD thriller, with a touch of Agatha Christie thrown in. Barely audible tapes, political powerbrokers, dodgy development deals, notes naming potential killers,

Kylie and Dannii's double whammii

Wednesday, 9 September 2009 1:22 P GMT+10

Singing sisters Kylie and Dannii Minogue are both currently in serious relationships, so they're intending to get married simultaneously. I think doubling up is a fine idea. They'll certainly save a heap of moolah by doing so, and that m

JFK just won't die!

Thursday, 16 July 2009 1:29 P GMT+10

Have just been listening to a radio interview with Lamar Waldren, who has written a book about how the Mafia killed JFK. He's currently in Oz, spruiking his tome in Sydney. Amazing how people are still unearthing new information about something t

Bye-bye Whacko Jacko

Friday, 26 June 2009 10:16 P GMT+10

I never thought Michael Jackson would live to a grand old age. But I didn't think he'd pop his clogs quite so soon. But clearly the cumulative effects of such a crazy, roller-coaster life were just too much. As his former publicist Mich

The dumping of Amanda Duthie

Thursday, 11 June 2009 10:34 P GMT+10

The way the ABC is dealing with this Chaser sketch scandal is absurd. I mean, sacking the Head of TV Comedy because she didn't flag the sketch and refer it upwards for consideration? It's the kind of bureaucratic buck passing you might see in

The Chastened

Monday, 8 June 2009 10:45 P GMT+10

Re this cancer kids comedy kerfuffle: One of the Chaser team said "it was meant to be so over the top that people wouldn't take it seriously". Well if you're going to do that, you have to make it crystal clear. You have to con

Out-posting the Post

Monday, 8 June 2009 2:07 P GMT+10

Coupla days ago, I wrote a post about David Carradine's bizarre death titled "Hung Fu". Often, when you think you're the only one to coin a catchy headline, there's at least one other blogger or hack who's had an ident

Peter Whittle, commentator

Saturday, 30 May 2009 1:26 P GMT+10

Just heard this bloke being interviewed on the Beeb's show Politics UK. He and a muso called James McMillan were talking about the stultifyingly politically correct atmosphere in Britain's Artsville. It was interesting stuff and I'll pos

Gay jokes on The Footy Show

Thursday, 28 May 2009 12:48 P GMT+10

Matthew Johns, the boofhead the squitterati love to hate, is embroiled in a new controversy. This time, he's provoked the ire of the gay community with a "homophobic" skit on The Footy Show. Says gay rights activist Gary Burns:“Yo

Premature exasperation?

Wednesday, 27 May 2009 5:23 P GMT+10

The Advanced Medical Institute has been in hot water in the past because of its billboards. It's fallen foul of the authorities again, with its latest advertisiment being deemed too offensive and demeaning for broadcast. The offending ad ha

The first stone, etc.

Friday, 15 May 2009 6:41 P GMT+10

One thing that's disturbing about this Matthew Johns scandal is the excessiveness of the punishment being metered out to him. Bloke really has been made a scapegoat. It's completely unfair. Channel Nine doesn't really give a tinker's

No-joke zone

Tuesday, 12 May 2009 12:16 P GMT+10

Journalists the world over continue to grovel at the feet of President Obama. Comics, too, are generally very reluctant to give him a urinectomy (piss-take).About the only reason they'd get stuck into him is if he were to emulate Bill Clinton an

Comeback for Michael Barrymore?

Tuesday, 28 April 2009 12:33 A GMT+10

Semi-ancient footage has emerged of Susan Boyle being mocked by fallen TV host and comic Michael Barrymore during the taping of a talent show. This is fascinating, not least because it shows just how long the plucky singer has been trying to crack th

Ku Klux Klanger

Wednesday, 22 April 2009 2:35 P GMT+10

If some dopey lefty blokes from Fremantle were to dress up as Klansmen, it would certainly be deemed highly artistic and paradigm-bustingly satirical. Locals wandering by would be happy to throw coins at them, and they'd surely meet with success

Jay Leno's Susan Boyle impersonation

Tuesday, 21 April 2009 12:52 P GMT+10

The media coverage of Susan Boyle and her stunning performance on Britian's Got Talent has been overwhelmingly positive, but Jay Leno has broken ranks with an impersonation of her. Seems to be all in good fun; not malicious. But it does pro

Susan Boyle, the new Paul Potts

Thursday, 16 April 2009 1:37 P GMT+10

Susan Boyle is a plump, dowdy 47 year old who has recently appeared on Britain's Got Talent. Not unlike the aesthetically challenged Paul Potts a coupla years back, she suddenly became extremely graceful once she sang her first note, leaving many

Fantastic Aussie doco

Wednesday, 15 April 2009 12:57 P GMT+10

For any film buff out there, you've just gotta have a look at Not Quite Hollywood. It's a rollicking doco about the much maligned "Ozploitation" flicks of the seventies and eighties. The doco opened in the cinemas not so long

Celebrity ghost twitterers

Sunday, 12 April 2009 3:01 P GMT+10

I know celebs are generally pretty thick. But you'd think they could at least sling a few words together on Twitter from time to time. Seems a lot of them can't even do that. They have their PR staff do it for them.

Pauline Hanson nude photo scandal

Tuesday, 24 March 2009 12:03 P GMT+10

The publication of those naughty shots reputed to be of Pauline Hanson reveals more about the meeja than they do about Hanson herself. I mean, there's next to no chance that a major news organization would publish them if they were supposed to be

Jade Goody

Thursday, 26 February 2009 11:34 A GMT+10

Jade Goody is not far away from popping her clogs, yet she is determined to remain in the public eye as long as possible. (There was even speculation she might be filmed actually carking it.) Jill Singer makes a valid point when she says it is up to

Barracking vs. Baracking

Wednesday, 28 January 2009 2:14 P GMT+10

To barrack is to enthusiastically encourage an individual or group, especially with cheers or shouts. To barack is to mindlessly support a certain charismatic leader and his party, even though he's saying or doing more or less the same things tha

The economy vs. Larry Flynt

Friday, 9 January 2009 1:47 P GMT+10

Still hustling, porn mogul Larry Flynt is asking for a bailout, as is Joe Francis, creator of "Girls Gone Wild Broke". Their plea will fall on deaf ears, of course. However, they should still feel heartened since the request has created its

The Bogan from Logan (a poem)

Wednesday, 7 January 2009 2:28 P GMT+10

The Mayor of Logan, Pam Parker, has excluded the town's most famous export, supermodel Catherine McNeil, from a celeb-rich advertising campaign. Why? Because the luscious uberspunk proudly identifies herself as the "Bogan from Logan".&
