Nope. Getting the bet refunded, which I would've lost cos she would've finished 12th.
So what happened? They didn't put her in?

So, nothing at all happened then? 'Cos that's what you get when you try to go to that URL.

Point 5 didn't seem to be an issue when Salmon Hater finished in the 30s.
It's a bit of an embarrassment IMO. They're trying to spin it as no big deal in that article but the way of dealing with it should have been giving the "trolls" zero airtime, playing it at 12 with minimal discussion, starting the countdown at 101 so that song still gets in, and generally taking it in your stride instead of making it a big deal by disqualifying it.
You used to be cool JJJ

Can't blame Triple J/ABC for disqualifiying the song. Private companies (BuzzFeed, KFC) were definitely trying to take advantage of their competition.

The Triple J-Nova comparison: Triple J listeners might have a sense for good music, Nova listeners certainly don't.

I suspect the rise of MP3 players have hammered radio audiences amongst anyone chasing a particular genre, so the stations have just become even less diversified to chase that middle-of-the-road-and-doesn't-care listener
They didn't give the trolls any airtime. It was a stupid troll attempt by corporates and hipster *******s, they made one online statement today and that was it. They haven't spoken about it.
Dealt with it the right way.
Seriously, KFC? These are the campaigners who use good Charlotte in their ads.

So how would you define Salmon Hater then?
Triple J bitched it.
I don't define it at all.
I'm just rebutting the bullshit that they dealt with it wrong and gave it airtime. They did nothing of the sort.
That's a shame. I was hoping to find out what it means.

It's an issue that has absolutely dominated discussion of the countdown for a couple of weeks. If they were going to ban it, 2 weeks ago would have been the time to do so and maybe people would have talked about something else. Triple J gave #Tay4Hottest100 more airtime than KFC ever did by the way they handled it.
KFC barely did anything, they just jumped on board a hype train that had already gathered a lot of steam. The voucher that they offered had nothing to do with voting for Taylor Swift in the Hottest 100.
The KFC excuse is such a stupid red herring.
They should have let it finish 12th and changed the rules next year so that a song had to have been played on Triple J to be eligible.
And then had 2 weeks of all the hipster douches whinging about it.
They did the right thing, STFU about it and just put out the statement today about it. It was just a stupid hijack attempt that started out funny then just became dumb as corporates and w***er hipsters jumped on board. The obvious thing was just to flick it and move on, which they did.

The obvious thing was to either flick it 2 weeks ago and smother it as soon as it started up, or to declare it eligible and stick by that. Triple J could have ended a large amount of the controversy by just acting quickly.
Probably the funniest thing about it now is that both sides are accusing the other side of being hipsters in this argument.
I think it's absolutely hilarious that people who would vote for Taylor Swift are being generalised as hipsters.
well i just had dinner at a friend's house the we listened to the last 15 songs of the countdown..
holy moly, what a load of boring, uninspiring and generic pop rubbish - Taylor Swift would have actually improved the quality of those final 15 songs..
