Teleflop?

The 2009 Telethon Weekend was, like previous years, held at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre. Along with my fellow colleagues we had to clock up a minimum twelve out of the twenty six hour-ed event. As usual being really povo, I managed to clock up a few more extra hours, up to sixteen as a matter of fact.

Standing up for the sixteen hours will get to anyone easily. Fatigue plus sore legs plus crazy psyco parents and screaming kids equals: "MOTHERF#%KING GET ME THE F#$K OUTTA HERE!!!" This might probably piss off a few readers but I honestly thought that the whole event, apart from ME making money, was a waste of time and completely unnecessary. By the end of the 2009 Telethon Weekend, the event only managed to raise up just past five million. Errr....Five million?...and $1.5 Million was from the Federal Government. WTF?! One would actually think that since our 'first world' nation is so rich, and mind you it is has the strongest economy globally at the momment in this recession, that our government and the people of Perth would be able to fork out more? I mean come on, like you have peeps like Michele Dolin of GESB (Some superannuation company) getting paid $530,000 after a recent $160,000 pay rise

Whatevs, in my eyes, Channel 7 should've just got all sponsors and directly transfer whatever funds they've gathered to Princess Margaret Hospital; because seriously at most, the people of Perth (excluding any organisations), would've donated about just under a million. Perhaps instead of wasting everyone's time, Channel 7 should have given the cash to PMH instead of wasting it on large amounts of advertising and hiring out the PCEC.

Oh and regarding the 'celebrities', that is a bigger WTF?! Like who the f$%k are they? Radio and TV personalities, in my opinion do not count as celebrities. Home and Away and Packed to the Rafters actors are barely even on the 'D' list if you compare them to the likes of Australian celebrities like Kylie Minogue, Hugh Jackman, and Nicole Kidman. These are the real celebrities. So I really don't see what is all the hype from them screamin' teenagers and mums. Urgh. What's worse is if you try and block them away from the celebrities, you'll get psyco, overweight, 'OK' and 'Women's Weekly' reading mothers whoopin' your ass for standing in their way from 'fame' and the superficial characters that are being played by these actors. F$#king get a life people! They have no interest in you. The only reason why they are here is because they get tons of free: really good food, hotels and swag...and well I guess MAYBE some of them are doing it "for the kids".

Urgh I sound so aggro but you would too if you had to go through what I did in the past fourty eight hours, and well this is the only way to vent out my frustratio without getting fired or being snapped back by any of you.

That's all.
