Now I don't miss Fits at all, this is a much better place to be. I enjoyed her blog before she had her face/words everywhere; once that started to happen she lost her edge, and while I had started to tire of her boots, I think the enmity is really just sour grapes. Perseus usually steps in and defends her too, but he's gone AWOL. <br /><br />May I say thank you to everyone who made me feel welcome here.

I was just refuting Squib's statement. However, I don't actually care what she looks like, or how many tattoos she has (although as Ramon mentioned, she appears to be a walking cliche most of the time).<br /><br />I dislike her because she's not funny, not talented, and seems to get practically a free-ride wherever she goes, and I can only put that down to having a well-known grandfather, and parents in the business. I'm not sure there are many people in that industry that have so many failures, and *still* have money thrown at them to write another TV show, when all of their previous efforts have been steaming piles.Puss In Bootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236191025319308375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949589573125647543.post-61739299271380805062010-12-09T21:14:53.307+11:002010-12-09T21:14:53.307+11:00And speaking of the ABC: No more Kerry O'Brien...And speaking of the ABC: No more Kerry O'Brien political interviews. <i>Awwww...</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949589573125647543.post-33531287162688257552010-12-09T20:57:53.312+11:002010-12-09T20:57:53.312+11:00I'm really not sure why Marieke inspires such ...<i>I'm really not sure why Marieke inspires such dislike.</i><br /><br />From what I've gathered from reading this site and its predecessors, a lot of it stems from her time as a radio personality. I think Skeletor or somebody also had an argument about her being "looked after" by the ABC, despite having produced nothing to deserve such favourable treatment. Maybe Ramon can elaborate.<br /><br /><i>who cares about her hair, or her tatts? I'd hate to be dismissed...</i><br /><br />Yeah. Hence my non-comment.<br /><br /><i>may justify the inclusion of her profile shot if she's a regular contributor?</i><br /><br />While I'd call what she writes comparatively lightweight, yes, I think her pic on the website is completely legitimate. What baffles me is her full-screen web-cammed mug featuring more prominently than anyone else's in the ads, intro and commercial transition for a TV show that she's never appeared on*. Before the first episode aired, I fully expected her to host the bloody thing.<br /><br /><i>* It's entirely possible that this decision has nothing to do with Marieke herself, but I'd still like to know the reasoning.</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949589573125647543.post-38472244343024427802010-12-09T20:07:08.180+11:002010-12-09T20:07:08.180+11:00Alex I haven't read much of The Drum website b...Alex I haven't read much of <i>The Drum</i> website but it looks like Marieke writes something once a week. Not that quantity makes someone significant but may justify the inclusion of her profile shot if she's a regular contributor?<br /><br />I'm really not sure why Marieke inspires such dislike. She's certainly not hurting anyone in the same way that Pierce Ackerman or Andrew Bolt do. If anything, I would have thought TSFKAers would have plenty of things in common with her, like leftist leanings, an interest in politics, a nose perennially planted in a book, a penchant for beer, music, dogs, social commentary, etc. <br /><br />And anyway, who cares about her hair, or her tatts? I'd hate to be dismissed just because you saw me with a banana clip in my hair, say.<br /><br />On the other hand, if you see me out wearing one of Squib's hair buttons you're more than welcome to offer me a job with some big Australian news outlet where I can gadabout (can that be a verb?) writing about my leftist leanings, political views, books I've read, music, beer, dogs I like, etc.Kettlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05555996290361714986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949589573125647543.post-26100457883864121152010-12-09T19:11:44.086+11:002010-12-09T19:11:44.086+11:00Get a Mac.
