This morning on Sunrise on Channel 7, the top of the hour promos were talking about Pippa Middleton's bridesmaid dress and how she "allegedly" wore "push up undies" to get her butt looking like it did.
My view? Slow news day, obviously.
Get some perspective, Channel 7. This isn't news. No one cares. It's one thing to listen to Kochie go on about how the Dow Jones index lost 20 points - That has some wider ramifications to the world at least. Stories about the shape of Pippa's butt just make the audience's IQ head in the same direction as the Dow - down 3% by the close of breakfast.
Funny post, but Dave, the sad thing is that many, many people DO care. Their IQ couldn't close 3% down because 3% down on nothing is just nothing right? Or maybe not, I'm hopeless at maths... x
ReplyDeleteNo you're quite right - 3% of nothing is still nothing. There's no denying that Pippa's butt was attractive, but newsworthy? I'm sure there's been more press coverage about her butt than the famines in Africa or recent breakthroughs in cancer research comparatively.
ReplyDeleteNot meaning to sound like a prude, but issues like this would be better in Zoo Weekly or Cleo, and not on breakfast TV? Or at any time you like on 7Mate, which is designed to be a blokey channel in the first instance.
At the end of the day, what really is the newsworthyness of a minor celebrity-by-association's derriere anyway? I mean, everybody's got one. How is hers any better or more interesting than, say, Jen Hawkins?
