What is my degrading media designation?

23 August 2007 in Language, Media, Personal, Politics by Stilgherrian | 3 comments

Author John Birmingham writes (well, of course he writes, he’s an author):

I recently saw myself described as an ‘overrated misanthropic pot monster.’ I liked that so much I’m thinking of getting a tee shirt printed. It made me think of [writing a column] on the topic of media tags, you know — adjective adjective noun. But I couldn’t get four hundred words out of it. So I thought I’d throw it out here. Invent your own degrading media tag.

I like the challenge. I haven’t thought up one for him. But I’m wondering… What would be a good “degrading media designation” for me? And, for that matter, for the Prime Minister?

(On the latter, “lying rodent” doesn’t count. It has to have two adjectives. Even though a Google search on “lying rodent” gives you… well, look for yourself.)

    Better yet: the image search. “Close-up Capybara”?

    @Garth: Oh that’s brilliant! I must say, I do like the lying rodent tracksuit, another fine effort by cartoonist Michael Leunig.
