The pond thought that Monday would be a torture, a delicious picking and choosing between favourites, but emboldened by JJ's handy Firefox extension - mentioned for the last time by the pond and here for dedicated reptile enthusiasts with a redback in the purse - the pond thought that the double bunger solution offered the best way forward …
So the oscillating fan could easily bite the dust, and the Oreo and Major Mitchell could be conjoined in an unholy pairing rarely seen in the natural world …
Naturally the Oreo had to go first … she had, after all, been blessed with the Lobbecke of the day, and what seems to be a bunch of coconuts ...
Shocking stuff, but then, just on the off chance, and armed with JJ's wondrous extension, the pond googled the Oreo and watermelons, and sure enough …
The Oreo blathering on about the "watermelon world order"? What on earth could it mean?
Please allow an actual reader of the Oreo with a comment below yet another Oreo rant about wicked greenies …
Watermelons, coconuts, you say tomatoes, the pond says potatoes, let's call the Oreo off ...
Yep, Terry of Toowoomba sounds like the perfect sort of Oreo reader, but as for coconuts and watermelons, the pond would prefer Jaffas to roll down the aisle ...
Now around this point, as the Oreo blathers about being open to all sides of an argument, the pond would usually insert a whimsical illustration, but the Major calls …
Oh what the heck …
Now if you asked the pond what's possibly the most offensive sight in the media, high up on the pond's list would be the way that right wing ragbags have appropriated Martin Luther King, closely followed by the sight of privileged whites pretending that they're down wit de blacks ...
Lordie, lordie, have the heroes of the right already been lost to sacred folk memory?
And so quickly to the Major ...
What's of interest here, given that the Major is just repeating himself over and over again, without the sort of variation the pond offers when it repeats itself repeating the Major repeating himself over and over again?
Well the pond takes this as a sure sign that the reptile business model is still hurting. Whatever brave front they put on, the reptiles look like they're suffering bigly.
Oh sure there's some clever window dressing, with the Major pretending that he gives a toss about Fairfax and Stan, but the wondrous way that the Major urges political intervention in services ostensibly supposed to be free of political interference indicates that the times are truly desperate … though it's likely that if the Major passed Ms Integrity on the street he'd give her a leer and demand to see her medal…
And so to the yelp about News Corp, controlled by damned Yankees ...
Yep, the reptiles are hurting muchly, bigly, and it leads to some comical sights, no more so than the sight of the Major defending a man who sold out his Australian identity for a mess of pottage …
He has a special insight into Australian identity? So being an Australian means walking away to fuck over the United States?
Never mind, it's back for a final gobbet of ABC/SBS bashing ...
It's desperate stuff, but here's hoping the marketplace keeps squeezing the lemons so that pips like the Major keep on squeaking …
And so to the Rowe of the day, dealing with the result of Fox News having too much sway and influence in the marketplace, with more Rowe here …

ReplyDeleteWe now have Van Onselen chairing the drum what a bloody joke all I hope for is that if Labor win the next federal election they oust this so called manager of the ABC.
And my wish is they call an royal commission into the communication industry and they destroy Murdoch biased empire.
What Murdoch has enabled is the destruction of democracy in America he is trying to do the same in other nations the United Kingdom and Australia
"Well the pond takes this as a sure sign that the reptile business model is still hurting."
ReplyDeleteWell, well, in the very next Maj Mitch gobbet we have:
Maj Mitch: "...public broadcasters competing in commercial areas outside their charter at a time of media business model disruption."
Spot on again, as usual, DP. The sad little sacks just can't manage this 'competitive open market' meme at all, can they.
"It's desperate stuff, but here's hoping the marketplace keeps squeezing the lemons so that pips like the Major keep on squeaking."
Yes please, though I do wish they could do a more proficient and professional job of whinging. The entertainment factor has been sadly lacking of late.
Has the Oreo jumped the watermelon?
ReplyDeleteWell I was kinda wondering how come she was attending a meeting in which she was the only upholder of Fake News and the Uncle Tom (and Thoma) way. There, alone and defenceless amongst all those cultural marxist and evil Lefty enemies.
DeleteAnd apparently she caved in and didn't say a word. Yep, that's the reptile way.
I think that makes The Oreo a banana: yellow on the outside and yellow on the inside.
[People other than Melbourners can ignore this: why are Melbourne trams like bananas ? Because they're green and yellow and travel in bunches. Hahaha. Except that they aren't green and yellow these days, so that's just another bit of the past chucked into the waste bin of history. Like "red rattlers" - remember them and their deadly outward opening doors.]
