Yes, the rumours are true. It’s the most anticipated return of a media brand since Tracey Grimshaw rolled off her deck chair and into the A Current Affair studio for another season. We’ve rested up. We’ve honed our craft – and now we’re back in action for another year.
So, rather than dragging this convoluted intro on any further, let’s get right to it…
Might as well kick off this year’s SH!T WATCH coverage with a blunder that is, well, pretty fucking huge:
Yes, an article with that headline got shared out on social media the same night that #LibSpill speculation reached fever pitch. An article which, might we add, dates back to 2009. Sick one.
Meanwhile, FasterLouder would like you to click on their biting coverage of the Real Housewives of Melbourne.
Yes, the Real Housewives of Melbourne is a fairly shitty show. But you know what is shittier? Referring to someone as “Ben from Silverchair’s wife”.
Junkee’s social media manager really had their finger on the pulse this week:
Meanwhile, we could write a few thousand word think piece on how gross it is to clickbait in these circumstances – but won’t. In any case:
We’ll save our breath and let the comments on said article speak for themelves:
In beauty pageant news, we have The Project, who believe that the most appalling part about this beauty queen being a bad sport was that it was “VERY unladylike”. Check yourself, Miss Amazon. You could have launched yourself at the winner in a much more feminine fashion. Don’t break a nail, dear.
And unless Frances Abbott paid for that tattoo with scholarship money, Tony Abbott probably has bigger headlines to worry about this week, SMH.
As for the recipients of 2015’s first Clickbait trophy? Well, in honour of all the current #LibSpill chatter, it’s going to our mates over at news.com.au.
Probably going to be the only thing Abbott wins this week…
Are you stoked to have us back? Sound off in the comments below.
Seriously. Stroke our ego. We thrive on that shit.
