Venise, usually I can rely on you to ask the obvious questions, while I just keep stum and pretend I knew all the time.
But a 24 Hour News Channel? Paddy, EMC: WHAT were they thinking? Should we blame Jonathan Green?
No doubt Sky News will have called you by now FD for the program rights to Balance Today with Sophie Mirabella and Eric Abetz. ACMA I believe is this very moment appealing the media duopoly on Insiders while the jaws of life work to free Akerman and Milne from a Hummer parked near the ABC. This is going to be the BEST news program EVER!
Classic!
I … ahumm … um … as seem to numbers of news purveyors and advertising … umm … personalities … umm … great public mastic baiters … umm who … Aunty Oz … um … deep down underneath the insightful … programming already … umm … provided by our ummm … aunty, somethink about … umm … advertising on AB (as I have seen it referred to here) friggenC, here is my take on the outbursts of promotion that …umm … station … is overcome by … as well as by its … interrupters (Tony Jones) and … um ….
ADS ON THE ABfriggenC ABOUT THE ABfriggenC … ************************* (*as if we cannot read the programme guide and pop into an ABC shop online if we want to) … does this 24 hr thingywingydingy mean MORE!!~!!!&^*!!!!
I fear for the ABC Interpretive Dance Bandicoot’s health.
His workload is starting to get out of hand. Now a late night slot with Nat.
This Sunday, after interpreting the Leaders Debate at 6.30, he has to rush over to the Masterchef studios to be guest judge for the Grand Final. The special challenge is ‘Best Dish Using Ants’.
“You know what I just laahve about this dish? It’s the balance of the formic acidity with the sweetness of the sugar ants. Well done.”
I predict a hammy or a groin strain before that one day in August.
Tony Jones’ Hummer!!! Great stuff.
But now I’m very concerned about Miffy.
two of my favourite words at once - frisson and piffle. the ABC Interpretive Dance Bandicoot needs an understudy just in case …Jasper and Matt Preston?? now there’s more than a mouthful!
“The revolution will be televised, but only on the ABC.”
Ha! Please make this bumper sticker a reality. I want at least 15.
Dog, off-topic I know, but if Rudd had gone for the double dissolution, he would have done us all a favour. But the masterstroke would have been a triple dissolution - we could have voted you onto the board of the ABC.
Effectively setting the Dog amongst the turkeys. Then maybe if you outsourced all the C’s we could relax back in the AB banana chair and watch reruns of Jack High and Pot Black and Qi - like people who get proper public broadcasters do. And none of this 24 hour news reruns and interviewers interviewing other interviewers bullsh*t.
I think the current schemozzle goes all the way back to the creation of JJ. This first generation of hippies has tasted fame and fortune and as they lurch to retirement, they think they had better back the Joe and Tony pony so they are guaranteed a place in the Murdoch Home for old manipulators ……. and that’s where Aunty came unglued.
If I read correctly, “My Other Car is a Broom” would also have a big market
What about an ABC24 Hour Pizza Home Delivery channel. That would be very useful. Toppings could be decided in a weekly Masterchef style cookoff and twitter comments from recipients of pizzas could be displayed at the bottom of the screen eg “I can haz da bong lol”.
INNOCENT UNTIL: I’m bravely ignoring the inherent slur in your first para, whilst being as bewildered as you are. WTF ABC? 24HR NEWS??????
However, I do have a suggestion re programs.
OZ STORY Tonight a look at the rags to rags story of André Ramshut Turgid (ART): Immigrant success story. Or boat people are OK if they come by air.
Son of two boat people from, etc………………
Don’t mind me Venise. A tendency to slur my words when I’m tired.
I’d craw through fields of broken glass and shattered dreams, if I could watch Nat and the marsupials doing their thing each day.
Annabel Crabb impersonating Rex Hunt would be an extra bonus!
PADDY: I take it that you’d ‘crawl’ through fields of broken glass?
Or have you discovered a new word?
INNOCENT UNTIL:
Broken glass and discarded whole prawns in stinking hot sun come to mind might not deter … crawling away from ABC 24.
