Reasons you will hate me

I agree.

Beautiful words; a stark contrast ...

"It tickles us pink, makes us green with envy, sometimes causes the blues. "

I SEE WHAT SHE DID THERE.





What's pink, green, and black and blue all over? Kate Neilson.

Excellent work Fits. I thought it was EXTREMELY irresponsible of the Herald Scum to run that story on the front cover. Wow, that must be a first for them!

(Peter Harvey voice) And this from another Kate ,Nash that is

Yes, it was childish and you got agressive,
and i must admit that i was a bit scared,
but it gives me thrills to wind you up.

My finger tips are holding onto the cracks in our foundation,
and i know that i should let go,
but i can’t.
And everytime we fight i know it’s not right,
everytime that you’re upset and i smile.
i know i should forget, but i can’t.

'And then I go and spoil it all
By doing something stupid
Like I glass you...'

Perhaps we're being a tad judgemental here. Who hasn't been capsicum-sprayed after brawling with one's lovely on a romantic Summer's night?

Now if we agree that every worthwhile society has an evolving etiquette, I would ask this question: Just how many times should a girl get 'glassed' before breaking up with her boyfriend?

(In agreement/response to catlick ... )

Zero.

i can't help but feel that wayne carey's bastardry was well and truly established a long time ago - in a very thorough and public fashion. what would possess any woman to take up with a man who had already faced charges for assaulting another woman?

am i missing something here?

I just find the whole thing utterly sad... To glass any one is a pretty callous act but to do it to someone that obviously relies on their looks to earn a living just reeks of thuggery and vindictiveness.

Dear James Brown,

Please can I have my hair back. Blackpool winters are a bastard on a nude noggin.

Yours with much Friday loving,
Robert Smith

catlick: Perhaps you should suggest it as a topic for Samantha Brett's next installment.

Actual content aside, since when is a fucking Myspace blog post (from almost a year ago) an acceptable source for a front page story? Take a bow, Herald-Sun.

I cringed when I saw The Hun's front page this morning, then thought, 'Wow, someone's spin doctor's have been working overtime'.

"i can't help but feel that wayne carey's bastardry was well and truly established a long time ago - in a very thorough and public fashion. what would possess any woman to take up with a man who had already faced charges for assaulting another woman?"

Sheer stupidity? Chronic low self-esteem?

"am i missing something here?"

No, Fits dear, you're not missing anything - unlike Fuck, I mean Duck and his bimbo. You have your full allocation of brain cells and are actually using them.

Matthew Newton wouldn't look out of place in this line-up either....

For those of us who don't read The Hun and missed their daily compare-the-front-pages amusement, what was on there?

ok mskp,

"what would possess any woman"
you would have to read the Ladder Theory
http://www.intellectualwhores.com/masterladder.html

someone who was very cynical made that one up, but it fits Kate going for Wayne.

crikey I have to have a lie down just to take that whole ladder theory in.

cynical yes

true...um, yes

"Well, I don't pretend to understand women's little quirks. Just one thing I know for sure..."

You still read the little paper all the way up there in Ol' Sydney town?

That's committment, people.

the ladder theory??? you've got to be kidding me? what a fucken load of shite.

What does 'glassing' someone actually mean?

What does 'glassing' someone actually mean?

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glassing

They've got Wiki pages for everything these days.

'Glassing' is an expression used in pubs and clubs, when fights broke out, one or both combatants would break their glass on the counter and thrust the broken glass into the face of whom they were fighting or arguing with.....a cowardly act.

Yes the ladder theory seems most accurate to me. On the third page we have a statement that 99.9999% of women are bitches. To me this statement was confirmation of the hypothesis' validity and I did not need to read any further. Hopefully the sarcasm in the above transfers to print.

At least Carey's wife had the sense to jump quickly from this train wreak of a man after his knob became better acquainted with his team-mate's Missus.

If I were Mrs Ex-Carey at least I know I would feel better after such personal embarassment; that I wasn't stupid like Ms Kate to go round 2 with 'The King' after copping a glass of 'Kard-onnay' and glass in the face.

Marieke! Sorry, this has absolutely nothing to do with that tool Wayne Carey. I just read your thing in the Green Guide on "Skins", that's all. I'm seventeen, male and it's the only thing I've watched on TV all summer. Realistic and acidic. Thankyou for for giving it a shameless plug in BackChat

*apologises for intruding on comment space*

sally carey didn't leave him until well after the bone-your-team mate's-wife-in-the-bathroom-at -a-party-while-everyone-else-is-there. in fact, their marriage "survived" that incident, and she went on to get pregnant to him and have a child. then it all fell apart.

so she didn't act as quickly as you think, rose. but few women do. and it's not a matter of "sense" or something simple to be solved, in terms of just "leaving the bastard".

I realise hatin' on Samantha Brett is old hat, but i couldn't help having a look at today's topic, and a comment caught my eye (I particularly like his hella literal "name"):

"Ahh, its Friday and Jack is looking to play with Jill.

He imagines a sunny afternoon, glass of wine in hand. Jack and Jill chatting away to each other on the couch. He is again mesmerised by her lips and eyes. Her lips so sensual... soft and moist as she talks with a wicked intent. Her smile brightens the room and her eyes flash wildly as i lean forward to taste her. Soft, warm her lips send and electric shock through me as they meet and i inhale her soul. We part for a moment. Both shocked at the intensity. I take a small sip of wine and lean in again and kiss her. The cool wine flows from my mouth into hers.. a sensual expression as she tastes it in her mouth augmented with the taste of me.

the wine glasses have disappeared as she leans back on the couch and i move over her. Though fully clothed the sensation of her warmth next to me is so erotic my arousal is obvious to her body.

her face, her neck the object of my lips as i kiss, tease and gently bite her skin. She moves against me, her desire driving a gentle rythmic grinding of her hips against me."

I'm amazed there hasn't been more in-depth analysis of the fact that Ms Neilson apparently loves Madonna. The Herald Sun really dropped the ball on this.

I think that is what you call champagne journalism.

@helen hellbound

From the LT FAQ:

"Q. Are you serious or is the site just satire?
A. Nothing is just satire."

The Ladder theory may be ham fisted, grating and unsophisticated but deny there is an element of truth there. Other people's relationships of course, not our for God's sake!

If you are a vacuous blonde bogan, The Duck is a conquest because he has money, celebrity and ongoing media publicity. Ultimately no publicity is bad publicity and the occasional fracas and/or glassing may be seen by women like his ("his" used advisedly) as part of the PD. Ask Simone Warne who seemed to take the long view, for a fucking long time, despite her paramour Shane's insistence on her repeated public humiliation. I have no idea why these women seem to stick around for longer than is rationally explainable. Enlighten me.

As big a tool was Shane Warne is, I don't much like the parallels people have drawn with Carey. I never heard of Warne hitting women.

i agree ben. we can all be idiots in our own sweet way, but there is a big step between simple tool-dom and hurting women/other people physically.

i think that's a point caroline wilson made in her piece in the age yesterday. warne was one in a list of tools who she said basically are tools, but as far as she knew, were not violent towards women.

dang, that was me above. demonstrating my toolness in forgetting to log in.

The ladder theory is in my opinion boring, long winded, sexist drivel. As pointed out previously he's calling 99.999% of women bitches. I just happen to disagree with that. I really don't give a rats' arse about Melb's pathetic selection of local sporting "celebs" & what they do & I don't really care to enlighten you about what/or why these shallow nitwits do what they do. I don't spend a lot of time thinking about it maybe you do? so go & enlighten yourself.

mskp, I hear you. Kate Neilsen in no way deserved to be assaulted or glassed. But there's a gaming theory (WARNING: geek moment approaching) that is a lot more complicated than I'm going to reiterate here, but basically suggests the riskier your decisions, the more you increase your chances of dying. Ergo, the riskier your choices and decisions in life, the higher your chances of eventually dying in violent or unfortunate circumstances.

I know, I know it's so basic it seems dumb to bring it up here. BUT - if you are a woman who knowingly enters a relationship with a dude who has already assaulted a woman in the past (and true, it wasn't a glassing but a grope) then you're increasing your chances of meeting a similar end.

Again, she totally didn't deserve to be assaulted to 'teach' her a lesson. But I just don't get why these cocktards continue to get women to go out with them when they prove time and time again that they're incapable of being exposed to humans.

Sounds to me, The Ladder Theory was written by some righteous, anti-social, unattractive peanut who, with too much time on his hands, has taken denial to the next level. The easiest way to keep feeling as handsome as Mummy told you you were is to say 'chicks only want to fuck rich guys'. No, Champ, they just don't want to fuck you.

I must admit, the Ladder Theory must be different to what I thought it was, to provoke these reactions.

Why is the phrase "Physical violence is not acceptable" always qualified by "against women". Surely it is no more acceptable when perpetrated against men? I don't think it is any less disgusting for a man to be physically attacked by another man or, gasp, a woman. Or are boys and men supposed to just suck it up and accept that getting beaten up is a part of life or perhaps even a rite of passage? I guess most of you would agree that physical violence against anyone is not acceptable. So why then does our government (advertising campaigns) seem only interested in women being beaten and not in all the men who are assaulted week in and week out?

Can't get my head around the rationale behind most blog sites (or facebook for that matter). Seems, to me, a surfeit of undergraduate pretentious twaddle. I suppose it cuts down graffiti, though.
