Meh.

All a bit of fuss about nuffink really.

I mean if you are the PM and somebody stands behind you without your knowledge waving a placard that says Ditch the Witch then clearly you are a misogynist and unfit for office.

But if you are the PM and volunteer to appear on a pod cast to discuss how you want to shag Kylie because she is phwoarrrrrr, how you demand nooky from your wife after you watch 20 big blokes fake-wrestle on a footy pitch, and how you reckon Japan's first female prime minister has a great pair of knockers, then it all just sounds like a bit of a media beat-up really.

When I first heard it wasn't human remains, I assumed that it was myusername using one of his worn-out toys for a body disposal practice run before things really kick-off with his pesky neighbour and he needs to get real.

But then they said it was identifiable as female. And I figured if it was MSN, then it would be far more likely to have been a Big Ben ultra-rammer 1000 doll or maybe be one of the Winston Bear 12-inch Pounder series.

Wowser MSN, that is some drama, it really tugged on the heart strings when I read it.

Perhaps your best solution might be to pitch it to Channel Nine to replace the Today show as a cutting edge, ultra-modern scripted reality drama show ?

Yes, I can see it now - a cross between Struggle Street, Neighbours and Channel Seven's hard hitting A Current Affair. Cammd could play your neighbour, your part could be portrayed by Karl Stefanovic and Carantoc could have a bit-part, as the fan favourite happy-go-lucky tradie, always popping around to do a few odd jobs but never achieving much due to all the attention from the street's cougars (obviously that part would have to be broadcast after the 9pm curfew).

"To create, one must first question everything." -Eileen Gray.

Why ?

And why quote somebody as obscure as an Irish architect ? I'd suspect you'd have to practically be an architect to even know who she was.

In a thread about who the next host of Channel Nine's Today show should be why not quote the amazing wisdom of an esteemed TV producer ?

Fred Silverman on stopping ratings drops: "The only way to stop the erosion in network television is to come up with shows that are very popular."

Meh said.. Are you looking for pro bono publico answers?

Umm, yeah. I wasn't expecting to be sent a bill for each post somebody makes on this forum. I thought everything on here was made freely and placed into public knowledge.

Although it has been a while since we were all enlightened with old-skool Bono-answers on these forums.

Why ? You about to dosh some out ?

See MSN, this is where AI fails, in the nuanced world of art and human emotion.

Clashing formats ? You gotta think outside of the box. Today's Tipping Point would be a celebration of both formats. I can see round 1 involving high profile politicians and industry leaders being given three discs, each with the name of a famous Aussie on them and then having to drop them into the "tipping point" from whence the disc would, controlled only by luck, bounce out into one of the three tray marked shag, marry, date. The high profile politician or industry leader would then have to SID-DOWN and discuss.

Conflicting Audiences ? I didn't think either show had much of one anyway, they have all left to listen to Karl or Kyle podcasts. This would create a whole new audience.

Unpredictable Scheduling and Format Pacing ? This new show runs 24 hour. 24 hour TV is where it is at.

Unsuitable host ? If you need an emcee then maybe the great Aussie Elle MCpherson, or somebody who doesn't make too many controversial public statements like Margaret Court. Perhaps Bar-Joy could host Today's Tipping Point After Dark, broadcast after the 9pm watershed ?

.... make a cash no trade offer of $7500...

Tell 'im he's dreaming.

Here's what you need to do, I call it "Carantoc's 4 step plan for a new van" :
1) Pop around to decrepit's on the way to the car yard with a couple spare ice cream containers
2) Grab a few of his larger huntsman spiders
3) Once at the car yard surreptitiously release them into the van
4) Then scream and demand a large discount from the salesman.

On another unhelpful note, I have a theory that older / higher milage / lower end vehicles in WA are quite expensive compared to other places, and this is because of the lack of an annual RWC. Not suggesting it is better to have one, or even that a system in WA would work very well, just a theory on one small effect of the lack of a RWC system. When you know somebody is going to certify your car every year it becomes less attractive to buy one that costs lots of money to pass, even though it doesn't need that money spent to actually run.

Is she Aussie enough though ?

If we want to bring about a utopian monoculture, present news and current affairs in a lighthearted way, and deliver cutting political and social righteousness not seen since the last days of The Project, then perhaps Bush Barbie could be the perfect replacement ?

Who should be the new host of Today - channel 9's flagship program after tipping point?

Somebody who is smart, witty, affable, both universally loved and respected. Somebody who knows alot about many things and can articulate elegantly appealing to both the elite and the commoner. Somebody who understands history, economics,politics, small carburettors and the foibles of humanity, yet can say it like it is without inducing hatred and contempt. Somebody universally adored for both their intellect and humility.

Clearly the only candidate is Carantoc.

From poster boy to outcast, it certainly does sound like it is all unravelling for Karl.

And after the recent Channel Nine scandals, executive departures and declining audience of Tipping Point it also sounds like it is unravelling thread-by-thread for Channel Nine.

Even for the proposed alternatives , it unraveled for Bruce Lehrman some time ago, for Grace Tame after she made those difficult chants inciting hatred, for Dave Hughes when audiences realised comedians should be funny. It was a slow unraveling for Joy Division, but from the first strand of Ian Curtis via New Order to the last strand of Peter Hook it unravelled strand-by-strand. Even the tectonic plates in Central America appear to be continuing their geological unraveling.

Slowly, strand-by-strand, thread-by-thread is seems to be unraveling for everyone.

Perhaps BRS could replace Karl at Channel Nine ?
