Newsflash: media ads -gate to a scandal

fuck the media. Seriously. There is important stuff happening like elections, wars and fucking mental scale oil spills, but instead the australian media decides to focus on fucking twitter. Oh, and guess what they've called this twitter centric scandal? (hint: see title of this post) That's right, fucking 'twittergate'. How fucking original. Also, fucking stupid. Also, Watergate was a major political scandal with far reaching implications where the name made sense. 'Twittergate' is a couple of comedians, making jokes (imo they were hilarious, especially Mr Anderson) about an awards ceremony for australian television. And for some reason people are suprised and offended? For fucks sake people, get a sense of humour. Remember, freedom of speech is afforded to everyone, not just those you agree with. You do NOT have the right to not be offended stupid people, no matter how tough/sensitive you are. On a lighter note, after i washed my hair last night i gave my dog a hug. She licked my hair, then began to gag on the shampoo taste. It was so cute because she sat on the ground making a spitting sound whilst she tried to lick the couch to get the taste off her tongue. I'm definitely falling in love with Top Gear now. I think its Richard Hammond. Watched a giraffe dissection on SBS last night, so that was interesting although i then forgot to turn back over after then news to watch the human anatomy show. Get to watch Sir David Attenborough in Animal Diversity today #excited. Sorry, i'm starting to twitterify everything :P. Oh no, now im inserting emoticons into my blog. How unprofessional! Im now off to the age website to read their reasoning for firing Ms Deveney, because i have a feeling its going to be pathetic. Good luck finding a new place to write your columns Catherine, i've always found them entertaining and informative. Quote? How about an 'offensive' (read: hilarious) twitter logies quote from Wil Anderson? Brilliant! "Do you think it would be bad taste to arrive at the #logies being carried in a gold-plated coffin?"
