Personally I think it's sad that Michael Jackson's meat went to waste.

I know. I'm sure at least some pets would have liked the taste.

Love your new avatar Major Po, BTW!

I've heard sound bites of this retarded cow Burnett all day in news reports (just heard another one) and I can not believe her tone of indignant outrage. It sounds like she thinks that camels are part of Australia's natural wildlife and it also sounds like she actually thinks that RAAF fighter-bombers have been dropping snake and nape on camels in the outback. F***ing idiot. Someone really needs to explain to her some of the basic facts in the case.

While I agree with your points insulting a reporter really does not do much good. I understand your venting, but in the event that she has a fan in this forum or just someone who objects to the use of the word "cow" (since it really has no connection to her accuracy), I would rather not have any personal insults.

I don't envy you with your job. My blood pressure would skyrocket if I was forced to watch ill informed and often biased journalists all day.

I'd have thought he'd be more like bubble gum. Sickly sweet, appealing to children and with the consistancy of plastic.

The media does that domesticaly as well as abroad guys. Although they have failed at the moral outrage for similiar culling of the wild burros and donkeys and horses in the US SouthWest and West. It seems most of the folks in the areas where it happens are well aware of the situation and it is much the same as with the camels, when times are good the population explodes then the following years the ecosytem is devestated affecting the health of the animals as they starve and slowly die as well as affecting the other animals since there is no more water or vegetation as well as weakening the population allowing diseases to take hold and again pass to other species further affecting them.

They get some sympathetic tree hugger types in the cities and thankfully most are so far removed from animal culling that they are harmless, except for a few terrorists like ALF and GreenPeace and such, those types well, I'd enjoy bouncing around the walls of a small room or just taking potshots at on the open range.

I apologise for referring to Erin Burnett as a cow and for accusing her of being retarded as those accusations are almost certainly untrue. I do feel however that there is ample evidence to support my assertion that she is, in fact, an idiot.

Even if your accusations are untrue, I can't help but feel that the poor cows are the ones being insulted

The problem with free speech is that some people are stupid enough to use it, I have no objection to an ill-informed media flunky stating their opinion no matter how wrong it may be - but only so long as they take responsibility for what they have said
