Brain Dead Television News

I had to laugh the other night when a female newsreader on Channel Seven said: “Police have arrested a man who was taking photos of women in public bathrooms”. I thought to myself: ‘Are we in Australia or Japan?’ But now that I’ve started on the brain dead TV news, I’ll continue. A regular occurrence now when reading news bulletins is the mispronunciaton of our far north city of Cairns. It comes out of their mouths as “Cans”. One would think they’re talking about a city in France?

Back to real life. Our local bowls club is undergowing renovations and now has a new section called a restroom? May I ask if we’re now domiciled in some city in America? Where the hell have our toilets gone? I heard a lady in Kmart tell her daughter that she’ll take her to the bathroom. What for, so she can piss in the bath? The Americans are nice people, but do we have to copy everything about their country? Are we so weak-minded that when we watch an American movie, we don’t have the ability to revert back to being an Aussie after we tune out?

All this repetitive anti-culture nonsensical rubbish that flows from our daily dose of brain dead television news has sadly, over the years, contributed to our cognitive decline.
