Apparently 75% of the people who voted Cling as sexy were blokes. :shock:

Of course, more blokes would fill out that survey than women and they have three choices when they come to that question - a small percentage will give a proper answer (either their own opinion or from a girl they asked), a large percentage would not answer, and another large percentage would take the piss.

Heard an ad on AW's footy coverage this afternoon for Cricketers Arms lager. At the end of the ad they named several hotels where the lager was available. The Cricketers Arms wasn't one of them ?? :? :?:

What I found odd at the Pies/Carlton game was sitting next to someone decked out in black and white, posts on here and calls herself a Collingwood supporter shouting "Go Blues!" when the scum threatened to deliver the pill to their forward line from a centre clearance. Thankfully she corrected herself with "I mean... Go Pies!" straight afterwards but it was a bit of a shock to begin with.

Channel 10's version of 20 to 1 last night, The Spearman Experiment, the top 20 funny people in Australia. Saw about no.14 down to no.4 before nodding off. During this time of introducing each comic Magda Szubanski failed to smile once. Can't blame Kyle, this would have been recorded weeks ago. Only smiling on the Jenny Craig ads ??

I didn't watch it. I thought what Kyle said was hilarious. She did well to deflect the attention from her lack of weight loss to the poor concentration camp victims. Good one. Truth hurts, I guess. My brother and I used to laugh when she would claim on the ad to have lost so much weight and that her weight loss journey was now over. Over? Are you kidding me? Keep going! You've got at least 8 dress sizes to go!

And yes, I was shocked to hear her say she'd reached her goal weight.... Why have a goal weight that's still fat?!?! :shock:

:lol:

She's about as funny as cancer. She's a comic who has built her humour on her weight - once she doesn't have that, she has nothing. That's why her goal weight is still fat.

Is it true that Jenny Craig are paying Kyle for his comments? They have had the best advertising this week, with all news reports stating Magna and her Jenny Craig diet!

You would hope not. It's all negative press about how inaffective her diet was!

FFS, I'm so sick of this whole Kyle Sandilands thing.

The man is paid to be a dumb, ignorant, politically incorrect stirrer. So, when he crosses the line that he is paid to constantly push, the tabloid media (together with their special friend John Brumby) gets to exploit the 'hand-wringer' demographic, the station lays down some token Good Public Image suspension (or even sacking, if the advertisers are getting restless), and Kyle's back on air in some capacity faster than you can say holocaust.

Here's how the Herald Sun and friends want you to read this situation: Kyle is a Bad Man; radio station is a little morally ambivalent but have responded appropriately; and the Herald Sun shares your righteous indignation.

The truth, of course, is slightly different: Kyle gets a little free publicity and a short holiday; radio station gets a little free publicity and more listeners upon Kyle's inevitable return; Herald Sun sells a few more newspapers; and you are the biggest sucker in the world for caring about this tripe.
