Reasons you will hate me

Fuck. You always get in there first. I hate you.

it's like when vanstone cried on denton over the death of her dog, but remained unmoved by his questions about children in detention. a clever bit of journalism, that.

If only the singers on Australian Idol could be put down.

It's like I have said many times before: None of these people takes their position seriously enough to acknowledge the impact their decisions have on the reality of other peoples' lives.

When you win an election, you had better not be smiling you fucker, this is the most serious job there is. Now look serious and get busy.

shudder...what an evil/demented smile

that poor, poor bugger.

Peter... Don't cry, everybody knows that Australian Idol isn't real.

The worst part is that it seems a desparate grab for kudos with the kids. The same kids who may vote against the coalition. Because they are evil. And eat babies.

word veri - ereenbf: The Coalition trying to pronounce Irian Jaya, then giving up.

"July 11 (pm) Casualties in the Newspoll wars
I think Dennis Shanahan wrote this this morning (as opposed to yesterday). The "PhD" mentions refer, I believe, to me.
A courtesy call from Editor-in-Chief Chris Mitchell this morning informed me that the paper is going to "go" Charles Richardson (from Crikey) and me tomorrow.
Chris said by all means criticise the paper, but my "personal" attacks on Dennis had gone too far, and the paper will now go me "personally".
No, I'm not making this up.
If they only get as personal as I get with Dennis, then it should be tame, as I don't believe I've ever criticised anything other than his writing.
And to think I described Dennis, in a chapter in a book being launched this month, as (with no sarcasm) "a fine journalist".
All very strange. And - I'd be lying if I didn't admit - a little stomach-churning"
J-HO has got to go NOW

If you have something to say, why don't you say it?

I wonder what terms you typed into Google image search. 'Poor starving aboriginal'. 'Propaganda shot of barbed wire fence.' 'War victim'.

How dare Peter Costello have an opinion about something a little lighter? Surely he must know, as Marieke Hardy obviously knows, that all the evils in the world are his fault. He should go around crying all the time. Or perhaps he should go around being cynical but too lazy to do anything constructive about it, like Marieke.

Yes, this is one of Fit's better efforts. But does anyone really think that things will be significantly different under Labour?

Our whole political system and class is rotten and corrupt to the core. It needs to be changed.

The reason that the conservatives are so successful is because all they care about is power and money, and they are prepared to do anything, ANYTHING to secure these.

The problem with the left is that it is such a broad church. You've got every conceivable cause represented there, from economic rationalist thug unions, which are simply the flip side of the capitalist coin, to dreadlocked tree-huggers.

This is the reason the labour party is always in the shit; one party simply cannot represent all these interests.

So we're in the same position as the yanks with, as Gore Vidal said, one political party with two right wings.

My solution is that the current political structures be scrapped and replaced by a system of proportional representation, which would allow a number of small parties to spring up to fully represent specific interests.

I think that we'd probably end up with the Lib/lab mob, one or two extreme right wing parties and three or four on the left.

The two majors would still be the dominant players, but under proportional representation they would have to form coalitions to get Government, which would have the effect of moderating out extremist policies such at that of Howards and Costello.

Having done this, we could then get rid of State governments, which do nothing but leech us of trillions of dollars in return for a good hard felching.

Tried to catch a train or call an ambulance in Melbourne lately?

Then we might start to think about becoming a republic, which we are far too immature to contemplate at the moment.

Can you imagine being a republic under the scumbags who run the joint now?

The place would be a facist dictatorship within months.

For a society such as ours, I think this would be as close to a politically perfect solution as is humanly possible.

Love your work Fits.

Now then, why do you suppose Ms Fits is flinging herself all over the country like a lunatic’s shit this month?

Jesus, I hope she’s not collaborating on another stinking Aussie TV ‘drama’.

I was on the net yesterday looking for some more Fits photos to fiddle around with, but surprisingly, there are not that many. However, I did stumble across a biographical article about her.

Now we all know that Fits lacks substance but fuck me, I was astonished at the total lack of life experience.

If this article is to be believed, and it was written for The Age, so it must have some cred, Then she has done nothing other than write for some of the shittiest TV shows in the English speaking world, write a lightweight column in the Green Guide and serve as eye candy on the increasingly wretched ABC.

She does not seem even to possess professional qualifications! She owes everything to sheer, pure, undiluted nepotism. Her parents would have driven her to the sham interview at Channel 10 and sat holding her hand while it was in progress.

Is this the reason that mainstream Australian TV is so fabulously awful? Is the whole industry captivated by these one-dimensional inbreeds?

Screen writing is the easiest form of writing imaginable. You could teach an ape to do it. The producers tell you the storyline, and there is even special script writing software. Your job is three quarters done before you are even out of bed.

Given this, why can’t the Ms Fits’ of the nation manage to produce stuff that isn’t a cartoon with real people instead of animations?

I’ve recently watched ‘The Secret Life of Us’ on DVD. I started out sitting on the couch, and ended up cringing behind it, peeking out at the screen through my fingers. I simply could not believe what I was seeing.

My Australian passport, luckily, is at my studio/office, or I would have burned it then and there, out of pure shame.

I didn’t feel the need to watch it when it was on telly, because I was basically living it in real time.

I was living in the dead centre (dead as in ‘corpse’) of St Kilda from the first episode to the last. I was literally a few metres from the apartment building the programme centred around.

The reason I didn’t need to watch it was because all the little white bread, private school WASP scumbags that were infesting the area like cane toads would act it out for me.

This is the problem with Melbourne private schools, they exist only to produce high university ENTER scores in order to suck the next generation of social climbers to send their brats back to the Alma Mater.

Students do not get socialised in these suburban Madras’s. Instead they emerge with a set of neurosis and twisted Anglo-Celtic materialist values that take the next twenty years, if ever, to get over.

In the interim they take their cue from Americanised Australian pop culture, which resembles the contents of a railway station toilet.

So it was that everyone in St Kilda wandered around looking, acting and sounding like the last dreadful episode of TSLOU.

This was also the era of ‘Sex and the City’, an infinitely superior programme, but one which had the unfortunate effect of causing the stuck-up, hipster-clad fuckwit women in the area to bray loudly about their sexual encounters, real or imagined, in every bar on Acland Street.

It all depressed me so much I had to leave the suburb. I really, really hope Ms Fits is not working on another TV show.

what do trains and ambulances have to do with the monarchy, Mikeed?

... i think it's those kinds of comments that have made other nations go with non-compulsory voting

Oops.

Is it always so nasty here?

This is just someone's personal blog, not a claim to all-knowing wisdom. If someone writes well, is funny and leans towards gorgeous then surely they should be writing their thoughts down.

Why the general horribleness?

Ms Fits doesn't glorify herself in her personal description, in fact she couldn't be more self-deprecating without sharp objects. So why this character assassination?

This whole internet thing really could use a bouncer at the door.

Keep up the good work Ms Fits.

Dear MartinC,

Can I give you a hug and make you a Moscow mule sometime? I couldn't have put your comment better.

To Those Being Nasty: jeez guys! Level down plz! Just a blog on the widewideworldofweb, kthxlol!

Is she making a claim to be presenting "well-informed commentary and fully-baked theories from someone who knows better than you"?

That'd be a no.

I think rambling shite left anonymously on other people's blogs is the easiest form of writing imaginable, but then again it could be obvious comebacks to the gibberings of transparent hypocrits.

Please stop responding to Mikeed's/Anonymous's comments.
He is being intentionally provocative to try and self promote his personal creative projects. It is Marketing 101. His agenda is to create anger amongst people, get them over to his site to then to try turn them with his propaganda.
Last time this happened was under the rule of the leader, Adolf Hitler.
Becoming impervious to these wretched tactics requires strength and the ability to view his behaviour as interesting but not enough to respond.
Act like your are looking at an exhibit at the zoo. Refrain from response and he will tire eventually. Life is a bitter game to him, the best you can do is to decide not to play.

Marieke Hardy has made a lot of enemies over the years with her blog. She's not the little mild mannered innocent some of you suggest. Since her identity has become common knowledge, she's toned it down a bit. But in the beginning, under the anonymity of 'Ms Fits', some of Marieke's invective was just truly horrible - cruel, nasty and uncalled for. And we don't forget.

That's called growing up. Something you, I am afraid, has yet to discover. People say and do things when they don't know any better. When you know better you do better. That's all that happened.
Let it go and channel all this energy into your own life and work.

Try hard drugs & hookers anon, they help you forget everything.

WTF is this? Peter Costello's mum writing in?

I don't know why people come to this site expecting to find polished and fully-formed political philosophy. There are other sites for that.

Surely it's entirely legitimate to point out that our smirking turd of a Federal Treasurer, purportedly a 'compassionate' Christian, is apparently more moved by the trivialities of reality tv guff, than the brutalities over which his Government has presided?

I'm sure nobody here has anything really personal against ol' Pete, just like I'm sure he doesn't really have anything personal against asylum seekers, the single parents Centrelink will soon be shafting, victims of the Iraq occupation, etc.

Yes, its all a bit 'A Current Affair/ Sad story of the week' from Mikeed. Perhaps he was slighted by Marieke or she wrote something mean about some of his work and now, like the bully that he is he has decided to take the girl by the pigtails.

Fantastic post Fitz.

3.14, you naive, twisted idiot.

Research all the really good places to live in the world and tell me what sort of governments they have.

Even little NZ has a system of government such as I propose, and I'll tell you this, even though wages are less there, welfare payments are less, the cost of living is slightly higher, house prices are the same, public transport is non existant etc etc but I was there a few months ago, and believe me its a far happier, cleaner and well run place than this dump.

You'll never see the social disavantage on the streets of NZ that you see here.

They have even reinstated the State bank, and if you're ana artist, they'll pay you the equivilent of the dole. Imagine that!

Ten short years ago, the place was being run by a bunch of psychos the mirror image of the Howard gang, and they damn near destoyed the entire country.

Anonymous 3.06,

But Mareike Hardy did not write The Secret Life of Us that was initially created by Deb Cox who is also largely responsible for Sea Change. Also, I didn't find the character's in either of these programs cartoon-like, in fact, quite the opposite and that was why I enjoyed them so much. Although, I didn't realise Secret Life was written as such a acurate portrayal of the demographics in St Kilda.

What shows do you like?
No, don't be afraid, you're anonymous.

... oh god what have I done?

Forgive me Fits, I kinda skimmed the comments today and I wasn't fully aware (though I had my suspicions) of who I was actually addressing then. I just hoped for a bit of a debate about some Australian Dramas and screenwriting. Care very little for a response from this this one particular ...

Anyway, I enjoy you.

Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.

Me neither.

6.45, you oysterish, bean-brained, toilet seat sniffing scrote.

I like The Simpsons and the new navy based drama on Nine looks promising, although it will almost turn to shit at approx episode 6.

Spicks 'n Specks, Chaser, everything you'd expect of a left wing intellectual.

Anon posted my blog in the hope that Fits would get mad and ban me again.

I think Fits has some French or Spanish blood in her veins because she flies into these glorious, magnificent rages.

She'd probably be a very interesting lover. Night after night she'd stay on her side of the bed, back turned to you, then suddenly she'd flip you like cat with a turtle and roger you until you lay there spent like a wet rag, then she'd beat you on the chest with her fists in raging frustration.

She is an interesting lass, and I know she didn't write SLOU. Can you not comprehend the contents of an essay, fool?

An absolutely outstanding post, Ms Fits, and a beautiful use of the blogging form to make a point elegantly.

*applauds*

Told ya Mikeed had a crush on Ms Fits! As expressed in his passive aggressive fantasy as described on his previous post.
As Lano and Woodley say" Picked on ya Sonia, picked on ya 'cause I had a crush on her!"

Hit. Nail. Head.

Beautiful contrast, Fits. Just beautiful.

Whether or not it's the world's best political point for this year, damn that was well done.

Yes. beautiful. I just want people to have some perspective
