Bottoms Up Today!
| 
I don’t watch morning TV, and there’s a couple of good reasons for that.
Firstly, because it’s SHIT, secondly because I have too much to do, thirdly because I listen to Radio National (actual journalism) and, most importantly, because it’s SHIT.
This morning, however, I was at the gym at 6:30 (yes, I know, just shut up) and the Today Show was playing on four different TVs so you could see it from any position in the room.
Guess what? It’s SHIT!!!
They only good thing about it was that I finally got to see Karl Stefanovic (remember when wikipedia had to put a block on every reference to him because of all the Get This fans putting up “Karl Stefanovic is a robot” references; then they had to block every robot article because the Get This fans started putting Karl Sefanovic photos all over R2D2 and Hymie pages. Love the internet folk sometimes!)
Anyway, back to the point. Apart from the fact that they are absolute bollocks, the Today show really got me pissed this morning. Some football player (I don’t think it’s AFL, rugby maybe?) got his pants pulled down during a game on the weekend and his big round arse got caught on film.
Fine, shit happens, whatever…but the Today Show played the clip about 10 times in less than 5 minutes. Then they rang the player and giggled at him while playing the clip again, a good 6 or 7 times.
As far as google can tell me, not one single word has been said about this. No whinging, self righteous, puritanical, dogs-bum-mouth bastard has complained about football player arse all over their TV screens.
So, tomorrow I would like to have someone dack a netball player chick and have the Today Show repeatedly play footage of her pert naked arse every 30 seconds for 10 minutes. Then I would like them to ring her up and give her shite about it.
Then I would like to have everyone JUST SHUT UP about it.
After that, I will go and buy some tattslotto tickets.
BTW, in case you want to watch the bottom (over and over and over) here you go: Link to Wendell Sailor's arse on youtube
