Smacktard of the day...

[Mythor]

I couldn't find the old topic, started by Munchkin I think... So I'm starting a new one! :lookarou:


My personal smacktard for the day would have to be... Pat Cash!

He's in the paper today crying about how Mark "The Poo" Philipoussis rang him last night and abused the heck out of him over the phone for his comments regarding his "lack of focus" on his tennis at the moment, with a pretty clear indication that he was referring to Mark's friendship with Delta Goodrem.

He's crying because The Poo did the sensible, polite, decent thing and sorted it out IN A PRIVATE MANNER, rather than slinging mud in the papers.

What a smacktard.

The Poo's friendship with Goodrem is his own business. If it's affecting his tennis then his current coach/manager/whatever can have words to him, if The Poo himself doesn't think it a problem.

Guess noone has been paying attention to poor old Pat lately. Pity he had to seek attention in this manner. I used to respect what he'd done in tennis, now any time I hear his name I'll be forced to think of this.
Sad, bitter old man.




Runner-up goes to Piers "Wank-o-matic" Akerman, for proving that journalistic integrity is easy to replace with blind, biased reporting and a little "Go Liberal!" tie pin.

Ha. Pat Cash is more than just smacktard of the day. He's a walking, talking permanent smacktard.

[Mythor]

I seem to vaguely remember him being a dick in the past, but this one irked me today.

My smacktard vote of the day would have to be the Taiwanese for halling a dead whale through their streets then having it literally blow up in their faces. Serves them right for killing a beautiful animal like that. Why can't they just eat chicken like normal people?

See today's SMH.com.au for the low down.

They didn't kill it... "The 17-metre whale died after beaching itself and was being hauled to a research station through Tainan City on Wednesday on a flat-bed truck."

Oh well that would make me the smacktard then. lol

Although the Japanese do a lot of "research" on whales.

[Mythor]

Forgot to do this earlier and now the day is nearly over! Egads!


Smacktard for today is... John Howard!

"This man has a dangerous tendency when something goes wrong that embarrasses him to blame his staff." - John Howard on the 'omissions' from Mark Latham's ALP conference speech.

Not that a Liberal would ever do such things, huh?

[Munchkin]

Cause it would be just wrong to blame your staff for something like allegedly not informing you that they knew kids had not be thrown overboard.

[Vagrant]

Ohhh, such cynics! Don't y'all know politicians never lie? It's an upstanding and decent profession, is what it is :p

Only today?? *larfs*

Incidentally, I heard someone talking about him having a go at Mark Latham's speech the other day, saying he was loose with the truth...John Howard calling ANYONE loose with the truth is just unbelievable...smug lying bastard...

Go Mark Latham. It's good to finally see a Labour politician with the balls to actually say something when little Johnny's talking out his arse.

[Mythor]

And today's smacktard is: Sun Herald reporter Angela Cuming.

OOOOOOOOOOHHHH!!!!! THEY'RE HOLDING HANDS!!!!!! LOVERRRRRRSSSSS!!!!!!!!!



That'd be The Poo and The Goo, doing the hand-holding thing...

[unfrufru]

that whale story was not only sad and wrong . . . but piss funny as well

Now if they'd been hauling the carcass of a 17m dead chicken through town and it'd exploded all over everyone .... THAT would be funny.

[Mythor]

I tried and I tried and I tried, but..... Pat Cash is once again Smacktard of the Day.


After the big scary phone calls from The Poo, Cash is now considering going to the police and requesting a restraining order against him, something that he thinks would "make very interesting reading" leading up to the Davis Cup shortly.
Cash thinks The Poo isn't focused enough on his tennis and he wants to do something that will distract him even more?!?!?!?!?

That alone may not have got him to first place ahead of the runners-up... But he's also said that any person with enough substance (teehee) would have confronted Cash with his grievances face-to-face instead of over the phone.

Like the paper is ever so face-to-face. Like it's ever so brave to slam someone in the papers instead of confronting them. Like we need another has-been (or never was) criticising a current player achieving more against better opposition than they ever did...

You're the coward, Cash, and you're a smacktard. The Poo and The Goo should both sue you for defamation. And the judge should agree and sentence you to having your mouth taped shut. And your fingers broken so you can't write anything, either.









But the runners-up are.... All the happy go lucky Muslims (some two million of them) who went to Mecca this year.
No, I'm not mocking Mecca.
I'm not mocking the Muslim religion.
I'm not mocking the hours (days?) it takes to get to the front for the traditional throwing of stones at the stone pillars representing the devil, or any of the other religious observances followed during their time there.

I'm mocking the fact that in the rush to get to the front to throw their objects at the devilish pillar, TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY FOUR PEOPLE WERE TRAMPLED TO DEATH!!
TWO. HUNDRED. AND. FORTY. FOUR.

That's just insane. I know two million is a lot of people in "one" place, but even so.

And that's just the fatalities. There were many more injuries over and above that.

Scary. :P
