@SnarkyPlatypus To be honest, he could wash more often generally.
He struts, in over-tight jeans and a Fitness First backpack, rubbing ointment into his inexplicably-blistered nostrils. It stings.

There are two species on the internet. Those who create things. And those who complain about them in the comments. Only one is useful.

@ozdj I’m sure this is some coded message denouncing capitalism, but I’m buggered if I can work it out.
@en_gy I am making assumptions based on hips and hands, it is true. Either way, this is something that must be stopped.

That bottle of “amenity” that was in my room when I arrived last night is suddenly looking very appealing indeed. It’s not too early.
@BernardKeane Seek. Medical. Attention. Immediately.
Mind you, Fairfax’s readers will be reassured that their own mindless submission to consumerism is “normal”, so shut up and buy something.

Note, too, how these SMEGs capitalise “Social”, like it’s some grand historical movement, not a faddish buzzword for normal human activity.
Oh Jesus wept! I was feeling great this morning, now killed by receiving a discount offer “based on your Social influence score”. Wankers.
@triple5adam I also felt dirty pitching the iPhone story to @crikey_news, but inspiration struck at 0530 or so, so it was easy money.
@joshrowe Thank you. I’d had the luxury of writing about Optus TV Now several times, slowly refining my thoughts over the months.
