I’m sorry world.

Tonight I read my book… my heroine is about to make a catastrophic mistake and the tension is unbearable.

Needless to say, because of the nature of the product, it is not view to find out more levitra online suitable for women or children.

When PC gets desperate

Darren Barefoot alerted me to this issue which frankly has me gobsmacked this evening.

Members and allies of the Filipino American community created a petition which asked ABC (America) and the producers of the show to apologise to their community and edit the show.

“In a scene in which Susan was told by her gynecologist that she might be hitting menopause, she replied, “Can I just check those diplomas because I just want to make sure that they are not from some med school in the Philippines.”

“…we are writing to inform you that this type of derogatory remark was discriminatory and hurtful…”

So far there are 125,910 signatures. The ABC has apologised.

Instead of sitting at a desk and listening to some lecture, as you tap a pencil on the desk and daydream about other things, in online programs, you will be able to watch videos, take quizzes and listen to audio. india viagra pills Am I alone in thinking political correctness has gone too far in this case?

Would it have caused such a stink if Teri’s character had been Filipino?

Perhaps she should have said can I check the roots of your hair to make sure you’re not a ranga!

When I contrast this rather bland series with the very edgy Chris Lilley productions of Summer Heights High and We Can Be Heroes… I wonder if they would have ever been made in the US. And if they hadn’t, we’d be the poorer as a society.

Last chance for Australian Idol

I’ve been trying to work out why I’m not engaged with Australian Idol this year. A favourite of mine for the last four seasons, I just can’t get excited about it this year. It’s not the judges – I quite like having both Dicko and Kyle, the hosts are the same – the kids are talented. I think it’s me.

I’m just so out of the loop of modern music. I couldn’t name two Justin Timberlake songs or one Gwen Stefani track. I’ve heard of the Arctic Monkeys and Snow Patrol but I wouldn’t be able to tell you if they sing ballads or heavy metal. It’s pathetic. So of course when they sing “The-hit-song-I’ve-never-heard by Some-Artist-I’ve-got-no-interest-in” I have no point of reference.

I blame my kids. The orchid hunter listens to Newsradio (??!!) and the recorder player listens to a continuous loop of Harry Potter audio books.

Well I guess it’s disco night tonight – there should be something I recognise – I’ll give them one last chance.

Who Killed Channel 9?

Just finished Gerald Stone’s book about the fall and fall of Channel 9. I suspect it has more resonance for eastern staters… in Perth Channel 7 is the powerhouse and Channel 9 well… doesn’t cut it. I can’t remember the last time they won the news ratings.

However it wasn’t that long ago that Channel 9 in Perth filled in their pool for cost cutting reasons and Kerry Packer was a colourful figure on the media landscape.

It was an interesting read and dealt with the period from 2002 to earlier this year. It was a bit of a hatchet job and I could hear the longing in Gerald’s tone for the Golden Age… as he continually referred to it. When money flowed and all that mattered was winning the ratings and being the best.

But I think the conclusion would have to be that in fact Kerry killed Channel 9, his beloved television station, through the management team he put in place at PBL. Seems a pity really.

My son’s observation: “Channel 9 just seems to copy Channel 7.”

I must say it’s not often that I watch the commercials unless I’ve recorded the program on my PVR first so I can flick the ads.

Doctor Who

Just watched the first episode of the new series of Doctor Who… The Runaway Bride starring Catherine Tate. Brilliant. In fact turns out it’s the last of the old series and Saturday’s is the first of the new…

I kind of wish Catherine was always in it but will give the new girl a try on Saturday.

Having been named after a former Doctor Who girl I kind of feel a connection.

Okay I wasn’t exactly named after her, more like a spooky coincidence… I just like to think I was… Even though if I’d been her I wouldn’t have been as sappy. And, hopefully, I would have had better dress sense.

Sub-culture discovered!

Today I discovered another member of the subversive Big Brother watching club at work. Yes dear friends, I am not alone! The webmistress, my regional equivalent have already revealed themselves and today I discovered a fourth… our trainee sports reporter. It was lovely discussing who might go around the water cooler today… sigh.

Groover and I so far have never “crossed the line” and actually voted for anyone (or against anyone)… so for those of you who perhaps look down your patrician noses at the commoners who watch, perhaps that is our saving grace. 🙂

In the meantime – who will go this weekend? Double eviction and up for kicking out – Thomas, Andrew, Daniella, Emma, Travis, Jamie, Rebecca… I’m hoping Thomas and Andrew go – they are the most boring… But unfortunately Daniella as an intruder will probably go and that would be boring as the spat she is having with Emma makes it a much more entertaining house. Betting odds have Emma and Daniela leaving… how dull.

And then there’s the actual work you will be deeprootsmag.org cialis uk expected to complete. Glycation and AGEs are extremely harmful to all organ systems. cialis online no prescription The men face a lot of embarrassment while disclosing this particular thing to their respective partner or doctor. viagra without view for info Some of the common side-effects are headaches, light-headedness, levitra generika facial flushes, redness and heartburn. This year is a lot better than last year. This year some of the housemates have brains! Of the previous seasons, my fellow subversives reckon 2004 was the best – the Ryan and Bree year – 2005 was the Logan year – yawn – and 2006 was the mother-daughter year – full of thickos.

For all the behind-the-scenes goss…

If you just can’t get enough – check out this British Big Brother Blog… very interesting. This year they have all women and just one guy – and one girl just got taken out for using racist language… 🙂

Love in modern times

Just saw the photos of my imaginary friend’s wedding and they are lovely – makes me feel all soft and gooey inside. Awwwww. 🙂

It’s been a week for romance – not that I’ve been getting any with Groover “on location” – another friend announced her engagement this week. She proposed. By post-it note. Now that has to be original doesn’t it?

It was one of those electronic post-it notes and she left it up on her shared computer at home. You know, the will you do me the honour… I’m serious! kind of note.

Anyway eventually, after some prompting he turned the computer on and said yes. Love in the electronic age. Interestingly I wouldn’t have picked an electronic proposal from that couple… they just don’t seem geeky enough! 🙂

One more day and I’m on a week’s holiday… heaven.
