Also in a way Channel 7 has to be called into question here. Did they really have to go all out and put it in the public or could they have rung 9 and said look we're onto you, don't do it again.
lol. No way man, gotta make the competition look like shit as much as possible. They aren't journalists out to make the world a better informed place! They are there to make a profit just like every other business. If they can live to see Channel 9 die a horrible death the people over at 7 would be huddled in a room, watching on the monitor, pleasuring themselves with glee.

Today I got given something very special that very few people get to enjoy.
I didnt want it, but its what I got. There was something very similar which I was hoping to get, which wasnt any more or less special, but because I had my heart set on that, this mornings gift is a disappointment. I am very upset for several reasons, partly because its what not what I wanted and partly because of the realisation that a year a ago I would have been thrilled with either opportunity and I have to now deal with being a terrible self-absorbed arsehole whos gotten used to getting what he wants. I dont want to be an adult anymore I lack the proper experience and will happily accept a demotion.
Sounds like you are annoyed that people are listening to you but not paying attention to what you say. Like if you go on and on about how awesome an iPad is and you end up getting a Galaxy Tab for your birthday. They are giving you 50% attention but you deserve 100%. Nothing wrong with that my friend. If you know what you want and make it known to all then anything less than that must be justified to you in such a way that the alternative supplied is a better solution.
Or did you want a Soy Chai Latte from Gloria Jeans but found out that they had changed supplier so now it contains gluten and dairy? In that case it might be time to shop elsewhere my friend. Elsewhere indeed.

Missed my bus this morning, then when the next one came I realised that I'd left my wallet at home -__-
Man today has just been a shit day. I think it has just been a long week so everything has magnified today. Got a splitting migrane myself from a head cold and I rarely get sick, let alone have a headache. Just think, tomorrow is the weekend and you can get as drunk as you want tonight!

channel 7 has a camera constantly fixated on the 9 helipads around the country, to follow them whereever they go
Reactive rather than proactive journalism. Smart and cost effective. They may not be first at the site but they will certainly only be 2 minutes behind. After all, these days the first with the news will be something off twitter anyway.
