Things that make you go hmmm

As I read the news online today, I experienced more than the usual amount of eyebrow raising and 'WTF?' moments. So it seemed logical that today’s entry reviewed the colourful, wacky world of news headlines.


"Please Explain - The Movie"
I’ll say! I would like to send a big ‘please explain’ to Screen Australia and Film Victoria, who have apparently kicked in over 100k of taxpayer dollars to fund a film about Pauline Hanson.

Writer/Director Anna Broinowski claims the film will have an "affectionately humorous tone". But I myself don’t see what’s so funny about that small-minded moron who is not worthy of being a redhead. Some of the coolest people I know have red hair, but she is not one of them.


"Mastercheat?"

Poor old Chris Badenoch of MasterChef fame. He may well be a cheating s.o.b. but I don’t see why his ex is being allowed to air her grievances in public. Seriously, who is this woman? And why do we give a flying continental what old mate did or didn’t do to her?


The guy is a reality TV cast-off, who quite frankly does not have the looks or personality to even command the interest of remote-control toting housewives. Seeing they voted for one of their own. So why are we still hearing about it??


"Flash Gorden sits pretty"
OMG… spare us another Brynne Gordon interview. For the sake of all that is holy!! I mean this is really scraping the bottom of the barrel, even for a glorified tabloid like the HS. Fair enough, this twit got her baps out at the Brownlow, made the social pages for a day or two and we all had a good laugh. But as the saying goes… ’15 minutes of fame’ people!


Get her off and do it quickly I or might even stop visiting the website just to make fun of your ridiculous headlines.


Now if these examples are not enough to make you feel good about yourself, just take a look at this photo and remember the following two things folks…


1. It is perilous to believe your own hype, and,
2. There really is no substitute for brains.
