nigel99 617 #1 October 7, 2012 I doubt it's been posted in here, but a few weeks ago a media person made some extremely poor taste remarks about the death of the prime ministers father here in Australia. It's been amazing to see the way that the person has been, isolated by the general public and others. The comments weren't made on his radio show (I've never listened to it), but so many advertisers pulled support from his show they have had to pull all advertising from his show. I'm really pleased to see the response to his comments. Nice to hit these scumbags where it hurts (in their pockets).Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.

Can't have the first without the latter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know what his intent is. I just find it extremely distasteful that 'jobs' like his exist. Yes there are people who lap up the drivel, SC has its fair share of people, who avidly defend the US versions of this guy. My phone news popped up with a headline along the lines of his treatment by the public has been 'uncalled for'.
