So i look at the news headlines today, cause i don't live in Australia anymore and i like to still check what's happening around the place.

This is the headlines. So retarded. If this is the best they can do i don't know why they bother. How can any of these stories warrant front page headlines.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are planning to build an $11.5 million bunker under their home in case of an alien attack, according to media reports

A Swedish game show presenter who vomited during a live telecast has become a sensation on the internet.

Probe casts doubt on September 11 'survivor'
Friday Sep 28 11:50 AEST
A woman who has claimed to be one of 19 survivors who were at or above the point where two passenger planes hit the World Trade Center in New York on September 11, 2001, could be a fraud, The New York Times said.

    Well you are looking at the channel 9 site. . .

    Actually I think its kind of a good thing when the papers have nothing better than rubbish like that to report. I was talking to a malaysian colleague yesterday about how people get some worked up over trivial things in Asutralian politics. In his country people are thrown in jail and never heard from again if they complain too much about the government. I think we should consider ourselves lucky that we usually only have stupid trivial issues to get excited about.
    It doesn't matter if you're male, female, or confused; black, white, brown, red, green, yellow; gay, lesbian; redneck cop, stoned; ugly; military style, doggy style; fat, rich or poor; vegetarian or cannibal; bum, hippie, virgin; famous or drunk-you're either an asshole or you're not!

    I get what you are saying. And so what if it's the channel nine site?
    Isn't there supposed to be an AFL and NRL Grand Final this weekend in Australia???? Couldn't see anything about that!

    Byrnzie, Rupert is Australian, least he was until he got his American citizenship so he could own media in the US. We've been putting up with Rupert controlled media long before anybody else even knew who he was.
    NOPE!!!

    You know I rarely if ever get my news from ninemsn. If I really want to know about something I tend to head for the ABC, SBS or The AGE. And of course I still love to pick up The Big Issue and any other small publications.
    But anything from the major news outlets is so much like junk food these days, I rarely ever bother with it.

    And not that I'm even remotely interested in the footy but:

    GO CATS!!!!! :D
    NOPE!!!

    I think that anyone that's not a Port Adelaide Supporter will be going for the Cats. It's such a long time since they have been in a final. Whatever happens, i hope it's a good game, the weather is kind to everyone, and they all stay safe!

    Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.

    According to Outfoxed, which I was watching this week, 3/4 of the world's population is watching Rupert controlled media. So that would be most of us, I'm thinking.

    Hey Gurl did turn the scores on at half time and it seems the Cats are out in front. Like I said not really a fan, so wouldn't really bother me who won. :)
    Anyway, like you, hope it's a good game, people enjoy the day, the weather......yeah, well let's not talk about the weather! :( And yes that everyone stays safe. I hope you get the outcome you're wanting. Me, I'm going to have a nap! :D
    NOPE!!!

    I would second that! :D

    Having never been a follower of footy codes other than Aussie Rules, I remember I bought myself a glass with the Manly Sea Eagles emblem on it (I think) while I was visiting Manly as a kid. I liked the glass and I liked Manly. Good enough reason to support them I thought! :D

    won't do any good cate. :D You know it's a good enough reason as far as I'm concerned especially as I'm probably not what could evenly loosely be considered a "supporter". :D
