Oceania Who is the most annoying Australian TV "personality"?

Bardot. Every bimbo-esque one of 'em.

Okay they're technically in the music industry (and the music industry should be ashamed of themselves for that), but it was all TV's fault in the first place.

 

Yeah, but the other ones are even more atrocious. The second group. Bimbos AND himbos.

 

I think Rob Sitch is great, but I can see why some don't like him. He comes off as very uppity sometimes. His hands on approach is disturbing too. But he is a very talented man.

 

Elle McFeast!

 

Elle McFeast + 1.

Richard Carleton.

The Australian Survivor host.

Glenn Ridge.

Baby John Burgess + 1.


Rob Sitch annoys me on the panel. He was good in the Late Show, but he has a very annoying habit about him when he is doing non-scripted stuff. He is also completely clueless.

 

Vote #1 KATE LANGBROEK. "Look at my breasts!"

That smug little twit what hosts A Current Affair. Mike Munro?

The host of Fear Factor. "I'm too sexy for this show..."


Anyone who hosts a game-show, but especially "Baby" John Burgess. Baby? wtf? If he was a woman, they'd take him out the back and shoot him. And his smile... is it just me, or does it take every muscle in his body to smile?


Um. Lifestyle show hosts.

Reality tv show hosts. And contestants. ESPECIALLY CONTESTANTS.


Um...

 

I agree. 90% of the people on Big Brother/Survivor are morons. I wouldn't call them celebrities though.

 

I would call them celebrities, but not personalities - since most of them are clearly devoid of any personality.


Unless you count wearing playboy-bunny ears on your head and acting like a sl-


Oooops.


Did I say that out loud?


Damn.


I thought I was doing my video diary...

 

Mike Munro... such a disgustingly arrogant self-serving smug idiot.

 

Does anyone remember that report that A Current Affair did about a year ago, after HIH collapsed, where they snuck a camera into the luxurious house of one of the company's directors/owners?
Who lived next door to that director? Yep, you got it; one Mike Munro

 

Does anyone know if you can be done for defamation online?

I know that TFn is an American site and all but with us posting from Australia about Australian personalities....I think the criteria for defamation if that a piece of information is broadcast from the source via a medium which then lowers the victims standing the eyes of any recipients.....at last that's what they taught in Entertainment Law a few years ago.

?

 

I doubt they'd even care.

 

"...lowers the victims standing in the eyes of any recipients"


Well now there's your loophole!


Has anyone's opinion of Mike Munro been lowered by these posts?


I know mine sure hasn't.



If that's the case, can he sue himself for defamation? Coz he does more harm to his standing than anyone else with every broadcast...

 

Hrm... Aussie TV personalities I dislike... where do I start?

Kim Killme.. i mean, Kilby (that's the Funniest Home Videos host)

EVERYONE from Home and Away and Neighbours

Mike Munro

Ray Martin

That stupid blond from Getaway...

Graham Ross

The person with the bunny ears and PJs

that's enough ranting for now methinks.

 

> If that's the case, can he sue himself for defamation? Coz he does more harm to his standing than anyone else with every broadcast...


truer words were never spoken....

I hate Mike Munro so much...

 

Memo to Corinne Grant:

1. you are not talented. In fact, the only reason you are even on TV is because Rove needs a female on his show

2. pulling stupid faces while you are talking is not funny. It is annoying. And it makes you look even uglier than you already are.

3. jokes I told in the fourth grade are not funny for anyone above that age bracket. I know this is your A grade material, but live with it or leave. Please leave.

4. you are not trendy. You are not hip. You are not the voice of the youth. You are a twit.

fin.

 

Can we just include every soap star... ever.




Oh and Nikki Webster. Die you stupid hell spawn.

 

Does Nikki Webster even have a career anymore? Or is she hanging out with Scott Cain and Scandal'us at the reject bin?

 

DarthAttorney, the tort of defamation prevents publication of material which `tends to injure the personal, professional, trade or business reputation of an individual or a company, to expose them to ridicule or to cause people to avoid them.'

Defamation is divided into two categories; libel and slander. There are two different tests which the courts have applied in order to distinguish libel from slander. They are:

1. The form of publication - defamatory material published in a permanent form is libel, if non-permanent then it is slander, and
2. the mode of publication - defamatory material published to the eye is libel, but to the ear is slander.

The essence of a defamation action is damage to reputation, not that the publication was untrue, or that it infringed on the privacy of the plaintiff.

So there's no actual loophole there at all.

Any presenter on the tabloid-style slop we call "current affairs" shows on the commercial stations. Ray Martin, Mike Munro, and over here in WA whoever the daft chick is that hosts "Today Tonight". No prizes for guessing who'll be up against the wall first when the revolution starts.

Michael Moore, come back. Your planet needs you.

 

Naomi Robson[sic] - Today Tonight is a crime against this nation, and you are a party to it's insidious dumbing down of our people. I hope evil things upon you.

Ray Martin - As Above, only you should know better by now.

Mike Munro - you used to be such a top bloke as well....

The entire panel of the Sydney Footy Show - since when did fat men with no necks and 8 brain cells to share between them become qualified to host anything more then a weekend barby?

Keri-Anne Kennelly - keep trying dear, I'm sure you'll do something - anything- of note one of these days...

 

Everything the Protege just said plus...
99% of all commercial FM radio announcers including but not restricted to:
Wendy Harmer
Mikey Robbins
Tracy Bartram
Jackie O
The Cage
(yes I know it said 'TV' but there's often a crossover thing - remember The Chat Room? didn't think so)

plus
Mia Freedman
Anyone who managed to get popular via Big Brother
Alan Jones
The entire cast of Getaway, The Great Outdoors, Ground Force, DIY Rescue, Room For Improvement, Location Location
Johanna Griggs
Angela Bishop
Sandra Sully - easily the worst newsreader EVER

 

Rove...

He's flat, boring, hideously unattractive and completely unfunny...oh and arrogant enough for the entire Aussie nation.

Kithera

 

Although he (thankfully) hasn't been on recently, Tim Ferguson. I absolutely cannot STAND him. He's got to be the most annoying, most un-funny person I've ever seen.

 

I don't mind Rove, he does his best for a "small" guy (nudge nudge wink wink say no more to quote a VicFF friend...)

I second Alan Jones, despite having only fleetingly seen his crap. In the words of TISM : "you're word one only from dyslexia, you're only one species from Alan Jones."
