Die, Fluffy Wuffy, Die!
NOT MEANT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY! If this blog is anything it's sit-down comedy. I don't break news stories. I rant, growl, quack on and joke about them. If you can't see where this blog is coming from you're an utter peckerhead.

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

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

Susan Boyle's mental problem

Wednesday, 3 June 2009 12:52 P GMT+10
After SuBo's recent crack-up, many people have have expressed concern that she has an imaginary friend. Personally, I don't see this particular aspect of her psychological state a liability if she still wishes for a life in the public eye. Wh

Provoking the primate

Monday, 1 June 2009 12:39 P GMT+10
Despite the large numbers watching, many viewers said the latest episode of The Chaser was a real stinker. The feeling seems to be that their glory days are behind them; that they've well and truly "flown the Vatican". I reckon they'

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

Logies a loser

Tuesday, 5 May 2009 9:21 P GMT+10
Didn't watch the Logies, but I keep reading about how awful Gretel Killeen was. Feel a bit sorry for her, actually.  Let's face it, the Logies will always suck a bit no matter who's hosting. They're all about television, remember

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

New look an old story

Wednesday, 22 April 2009 2:06 P GMT+10
Susan Boyle reckons she needs a makeover. I suspect it won't be long before she looks like so many other glossy celebs. And when that has happened, she will have lost what made her so unique in the first place. Kinda sad, I reckon.  Happens

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

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

Mild one has wild night

Sunday, 21 December 2008 4:56 P GMT+10
Can't really understand why this Andrew O'Keefe video is causing such a ruckus. It's highly likely that gutter related misadventures like his befall overworked celebs every weekend. They just don't get caught on video, that's all.

Comedy becomes farce

Saturday, 1 November 2008 12:30 P GMT+10
Whether you think the fallout from the prank call made by Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand was over the top or not, one thing's for sure: it reveals the sad decline of British comedy culture. Now, what passes for comedy is leaving puerile, obscene

Maesbrook murder

Monday, 1 September 2008 12:30 P GMT+10
This is intriguing. A murdered woman has been found in a burned-out mansion in the English countryside. You know what the plods should do? Get Inspector Tom Barnaby onto the case. It's right down his alley, I reckon.

Vapid response team

Sunday, 31 August 2008 10:22 P GMT+10
One of the most ridiculously pompous TV trailers ever has to be that one for City Homicide. I'm sure you know it. It's got the cast sprinting, swaggering and embracing heroically in slo-mo. It's a cack; made funnier by the fact

Safe "Cracker"

Saturday, 9 August 2008 10:20 P GMT+10
Kiwi coppers have to use a photo of Robbie Coltrane on a "wanted" poster for a teenage crim because the law says whippersnappers can't be identified.  Mad.   

Sexism, schmexism

Saturday, 2 August 2008 11:47 A GMT+10
Sam Newman has provoked the ire of the squitterati again. Says that a comment he made about a female Tasmanian politician was not meant in the way it has been taken. I suspect he's probably being genuine. (He did do that counselling course t

No surprise that Sam's not a New Man

Monday, 30 June 2008 2:27 A GMT+10
If anyone seriously thought that surly Sam Newman was gonna come back as some kinda fragrant, feminized metrosexual after his much-publicized counselling session; well, she (or he) would make Pollyanna herself seem like Belinda Neal! But sadly, I thi

An exercize in footylity

Saturday, 31 May 2008 8:21 P GMT+10
Re all this Sam Newman bashing:I can't see the point of chicks getting so angry about him and the surly, aggro culture he represents. I have no time for it and I'm a bloke.  It's just a fact of life. Footy commentary is full of rough

Our newest celebrity?

Sunday, 25 May 2008 11:40 P GMT+10
Speaking of serial killers (and the chicks who love them):Roberta Williams, the ex-wife of baby-faced Melbourne gangland assassin Carl Williams, may well become a celebrity on Channel 9. You couldn't make this stuff up, now could you?Jeez, I wond

Reece Whitby has cake, eats it too

Wednesday, 21 May 2008 1:40 P GMT+10
Journalist Reece Whitby keeps his old gig as a hack for Channel 7, even though he's one of Labor's new star recruits.You'd think that some hacks and/or or pollies would be mightily shat off about this. And surely such a situatio

More media strangeness

Wednesday, 21 May 2008 12:39 A GMT+10
The revolting misery-pimps who produce Big Brother are feeding the "housemates" -- "inmates" would be a better term, I reckon -- live bloody insects.But in this story, the gruesome psychological cruelty of this is ignored.&nb

Big Brother's idiots

Wednesday, 7 May 2008 1:26 P GMT+10
It's rare that academics and health professionals speak plainly, so Dr Michael Carr-Gregg's assessment of the decision to put Corey Worthington in the Big Brother house is refreshing:"Why would anybody put a teenage kid in a goldfish bow

The real story of Charmaine Dragun?

Monday, 28 April 2008 12:25 P GMT+10
Will definitely try to catch tonight's Australian Story.  It's about Charmaine Dragun, the newsreader who committed suicide not so long ago.  From this description of the show it focuses on the medical aspects of her condition.
