TOPICAL SOAPBOX MONDAY #9

NOT SO JOYOUS

What do these three people have in common? Too much money.
Seriously there is world wide poverty and nationwide health shortages, which these three never need to fear personally and yet this rubbish high class money fight is headlining our national news.
Greed and self interest is a monster that is growing stronger everyday and Tom Waterhouse is the living definition of it. Andrew Johns is the dumb ass who loves to gloat over a good inside tip to his mates and is now doing all he can to back track and stay out of the firing line. This is such a legend of a person, this is such a man kids should look up to, this is a true immortal of the game. What a toss pot! But all that aside, there is never going to be a bigger ass-hat on Australian TV this year than Tom Waterhouse. Where's the consumer watchdogs and why are they getting paid when his saturation of the market is barraging into everyones homes? Who cares about Gai and Singo's fight, this is about the the younger dopes.

CUBA CHALLENGES AUSSIE SMOKE PACKS

Cuban tobacco companies would rather see more Australians die from lung cancer than lose profits from the sale of cigarettes. This is why they are challenging our laws on packaging these life ending joy sticks. How absurd to challenge a government that is taking strong steps to protect its people from scrupulous tobacco companies and their catchy and persuasive ad campaigns. Tobacco is an addictive substance that shortens life. We should not be made to allow them to use marketing to catch more victims. I would personally like to see them banned but the argument is that it will only go underground. That being said, it's time all gambling ads suffered the same fate as tobacco. Let's see pictures of the broken homes, the repossessed goods, the overdue bils, the empty fridge, the sad hopeless faces of the victims of gambling kids instead. Get rid of that horses arse Tom and his flashy exciting numbers and hearing him describe a bet as "Good Value". The Cuban Tobacco companies should be told to get stuffed.
