Have you ever wanted to dry retch or, God forbid, actually vomit when watching second rate newsreaders carrying on as if they are media personalities? They are presumably not selected to read the news because they are journalistic high fliers, rising stars or have anything special to offer. They have skills, granted, as they are able to read from a moving display in front of them and are able to show a complete lack of emotion in the face of the most dire human tragedy but does it extend further than that?
It always intrigues me and sometimes infuriates me when I see our national sunday rag putting the faces of tv newsreaders on the front cover of lift-outs with details of their daily lives, marriages etc. Frankly, who gives a damn? If you've got so little going on in your life then perhaps you might be interested in the life of a television employee.......I'd suggest you save your money and bypass the sunday paper as it's full of absolute garbage much of the time. Why not get off your fat backsides and go for a walk, ride your bikes, if you have them......do anything but don't submit to the bullcrap that is being fed to the lambs of New Zealand every sunday.
Another group that thinks it's so worthy of public attention are real estate agents, especially from one particular group. If you're selling a house they think, rightly so, that you're so much of a sucker that you don't mind paying over 50% of the advertising money you hand over for promotion to PROMOTE THEM! It's just so ludicrous as to be laughable! You want to sell your house and in the process they make you pay to promote their faces. Look at the size of some of the ads - and then there's the signs on properties. No one gives a toss who these people are to be honest. A dead horse can sell a property as it is, in essence, the buyer who buys not the real estate agent who sells. If you don't want a particular property and don't like it you are not going to buy it, regardless of what anyone says. If you fall in love with a property or consider it a rip-snorter of an investment then you don't need an agent to convince you of that.....unless you're completely stupid.
Something to think about folks and I do very much welcome your feedback. I was once a real estate agent in Australia and I was always very pleased that people were prepared to pay me to publish my face and promote my professional career when selling their homes. I couldn't believe my good luck and the fame and fortune that followed set me up for life....
