Are writers weeks like Adelaide now pointless?
Why Adelaide Writers Week and others are in danger of extinction
Distinguished South Australian writer Stephen Orr argues Adelaide Writers Week has transformed from an exciting literary discovery into tedious ideological battlegrounds that have lost their original purpose.

How desperate, pathetic, needy and unseemly it is to join up late to a lizard Oz jihad?
Wondering who this Ore is, desperate to step into the limelight and join the current lizard Oz jihad? The reptiles provided this thumb ...

So what now? Are we condemned to an eternity of intercol football, mega-utes and shiny new petrol stations? Endless photo ops for the Suits? The unholy communion of politics and populist media. Writers braying in the lizard Oz while narcissistically seeking attention? (Or some such, the pond might have added that last line).
Good on her ...
Sorry certainly seems to be the hardest word for the award-winning Cathy Wilcox … expletives on the other hand? Not so much.

Was it just another excuse to run the 'toon, which allegedly was extremely offensive and insulting and should never again see the light of day?
Tell us, jerk off Jacko ...
It was, it was ... look what the reptiles trotted out ...allegedly the shame that should never be seen again ...
Just like Bill Leak and his lesser spawn, you braying jack ass Jacko?
And good news via Mumbrella ..
Here's a suggestion. Stop pretending to be a faux leftie while running with the reptiles, and instead do something useful with what's left of your life ...

How low can they go DP and pondians?
If you have the time, would you go back and see and post the most outrageous corpse attacks... hard I know.

The depth gauge of disgust of newscorpse scribbling needs lengthening. The sewer is deepening.
Thank you for the words from Cathy Wilcox. She does cartoons better, but those words are similar in getting a clear and necessary meaning across. Inadvertently, she has given Oscar Godsell (Sky Noise has reporters? Who knew?) recognition that he otherwise has not deserved.
ReplyDeleteGotta love Jacko’s sneering reference to Nine’s “tabloids”. How quaint - not to mention anachronistic - to imply that in 2026 a dead tree newspaper’s physical dimensions bears some relation to its journalistic content and standards. But that’s Reptile thinking for you - in the hive mind, it’s still 1950, or perhaps 1850. As News Corp’s yellow journalistic output amply demonstrates crap is crap, regardless of whether it’s increasingly rare physical packaging comes in tabloid or broadsheet format.
ReplyDeleteA dead newspaper has some relation to "journalistic standards and content"? Considering the view of the Murdochrat's sole broadsheet versus its many tabloids, I would say that the larger the paper's size, the smaller its grasp of the world.
