Mega Thread The Random Thoughts Thread Part 1

I think Trewth's point of view is more broadly epistemological. I could be wrong.

You're not.

I just hate the sooky ***t.

The media and social interest however is a completely different monster, in that respect I agree with Tribes. If it was anyone but a pretty girl form Queensland who looks good on the front of the rag no one would give a shit.

I can assure you that the Venn diagram of people who buy those magazines and people appalled that she's getting $2 million has a great deal of overlap.

Pretty young girl gets caught with her hand in the cookie jar, sooks, cries and bats her eyelids and the Australian media go on the rampage on account of dem dastardly yellahs.

If she was a middle-aged third-gen Vietnamese-Australian it'd be "tell your story walking, pal".

The vegemite belt who believe she's innocent also no doubt think Abbott's boatstopping policy will personally enrich their lives.

I am going to go to Ed Harry and ask if they have any of these....

This is the bit that gets me going. Firstly she was late twenties, not a sixteen year old. And second she was an average looking bogan chick at best when convicted. The bogan chick bit being why so many lap up the sob story and lead to the $2 million payout. It's 'Wow, she's a beer drinking bogan girl just like me/ my girlfriend, going to the classy Bali and wearing Bintang singlets. Dem indo's are racist!'.

Venn diagrams were mentioned before. I bet if you drew the circles for having visited Bali and believing her story there'd be massive overlap. Add in being a bogan and it'd be three circles that it's hard to distinguish between.

This is why it should be Michelle Leslie who's the famous one! Firstly she was a genuine hottie, secondly she had the intelligence to use Indonesia's Islamic hypocrisy to her advantage. Magnificent.

Drugs are bad, m'kay?

 

[Northalives]

People dont stop and ask themselves why they would want to hear it. She is a convicted drug trafficker ffs. How dumb do you have to be to smuggle drugs into a muslim country? Why would anyone want to hear from someone so stupid? She is only going to play the role of a victim anyway and proclaim her innocence.

Its disgraceful she will make huge amounts of money telling a story of how dumb and stupid she was and is.

I reckon that Corby will be another Lindy Chamberlain for the media. It's all to do with selling papers and getting viewers and in todays world of exhibitionism and voyeurism, this dumb cow fits the bill perfectly.

The media had a magnificent run with Chamberlain; on her side one moment, devil worshiping witch the next to lovey-dovey, monster to darling and that's what I reckon they'll do with Corby.

Next stop pillory, followed by support, followed by more dirt dug up on her, followed by sympathy, followed by ...........

Came into this thread not caring about that ****wit Corby...going to leave it feeling the same way. Not surprising that the channel that champions the bogan is the one that's gonna air her stupid mug first.

As Kern says, "She got what she deserved." For being a dumbass.

I hope she spends some of the money on a deed poll though.

Me too. In solidarity with her sister and soon to be housemate I hope she changes her name to Camry.

My girlfriend had $50 stolen from her wallet at work (she teaches ~5 year olds how to swim) in a code protected room, so it was certainly one of her co-workers. The same thing happened to a different girl last week.

1. I'm amazed at how low some people really are.
2. Is there any point in my girlfriend talking to the police about this?

That's bullshit mate, what is the world coming to. There is probably a law against the police interrogating employees for a crime at work in this day and age. Is there CCTV at her work?
