I watched the entire segment, the lead into it, the slagging and the aftermath the next day. You can assume all you like about what I have or haven't watched, your incorrect assumptions still don't justify the position you have taken on this issue.

You have NFI about the hat I wear - again, making assumptions to try and justify your position will never work. I have never served in the armed forces pal. Think about that for a minute before you start trying to put people into some imaginary box that you think justifies your own beliefs about them.

These idiots took the piss out of this country's most decorated hero on national television. Of course this is identical to me taking the piss out of my mates at the pub. Not. Don't let the difference between apples and oranges stop your attempted logic though.....

You have been trying to excuse what these cockheads have said, from the outset. Don't change your tune now that you have started thinking about it !! If you want context - how about the number of major companies that have now pulled millions of dollars worth of advertising contracts from The Circle ??? Do you think for one second that these companies are seeing anything in the same *context* as you ?? Or perhaps from the same context that the rest of the country has seen these comments in ? They are not pulling contracts because they think what was said was funny or just a laugh or harmless or anything like that.

There is a difference between having a harmless crack at someone, or insulting them. You cleary are incapable of understanding this difference. I guess you are also a Kyle Sandilands supporter ?? He is another major fuckstick of the highest order.

Just want to clear a couple of things that may have been implied incorrectly-
1) Kyle is a twat who makes comments to make headlines, any correlation between him and the circle are way off the mark
2) Gosling I never said you were in the army, however you are passionate about those who are. This is typified by insulting comments (none taken personally as this is robust discussion and it goes with the territory) Being passionate about anything makes it difficult to be objective, eg try convince a Busa fan that a 14 is better than the Busa.
3) We now know 2 of the 4 people who watch the circle, you lads need to get a daytime job, doesn't say much for the offerings at 9.30am. Suggest watching Business day on 2, much better for the finances
4) I have never back tracked, look at the posts, I have and still maintain this has been blown way out of proportion and true to form the media wagon jumpers are hitching a ride. Have a think about this -Considering that the majority of news headlines come out of AAP and are regurgitated around the country via the various media platforms someone dropped the AAP a heads up, perhaps a rival channel as this was not news worthy.
5) If anyone thinks that the sponsors that have pulled the pin have done so for any reason other than publicity are kidding themselves. They don't care about the comments, they care about public perception, don't they just look peachy pulling their sponsorship in support of the sapper. Having worked in sales and marketing for near on 20 years I can assure the very reason they sponsored the show in the first place was because the demographic they were targeting happen to watch the show (who would have thought that would be Gosling and Aardy!) The marketing team at 10 know that the general population has a memory shorter than a gold fish, they also know that this publicity will give them a spike in their audience numbers as people will be intrigued to watch, a bit like watching a train wreck. We don't want to but our morbid fascination draws us to watch and like a moth to flame the sponsors will come back as they will see value in advertising on that show.
6) Just because you don't announce it across a media platform doesn't alter your level of indifference.

I really don't care for either of the two presenters, but to be vilified, to have death threats and threats made against the children is way over the top which is what precisely happened when the media band wagon jumpers got on board, the mob mentality took over and thought that by abusing and sending threats is someway supporting the soldier. I think not.

Nick

The last thing you said about their children getting death threats is just as disgusting as what they said. Two wrongs doesn't make a right.

Goes back to my other comment treat people with the respect you want your mum to be treated with and the world will be the better place for it.

Naked - I ain't no sheep either I don't just blindly follow, I constantly question. I know you haven't pointed that at me just thought I'd throw it out there

yes he probably gets the piss taken out of him all the time - by his mates. There is nothing wrong with this whatsoever - its normal. Its also something done between mates who know one another well enough to give each other plenty of shit without it ever being a problem.

Having it taken out of you buy fuckheads who you have never met, on a national tv show with an audience measured in the hundreds of thousands - is fucking bullshit. No 2 ways about it. That is the problem here.

You guys can make apologies for Fungus and that google-eyed twat (rofl at Aardies picture ) - but no amount of sanctimonious crap peddled by apologists can excuse the behaviour of those members of that show who engaged in this gutless episode. There is almost no difference whatsoever in the rubbish peddled by Fatboy sandilands and The Circle - its all about ratings and shock value.

Stynes has dished it out - now she cops it back. Bad luck ! I think all the fuss now about death threats against her kids is being blown WAY out of proportion and is simply how her media minders have decided to go on the attack - make her the fucking victim .... Anyone who thinks anything else is kidding themselves. Its all bullshit spin to make the public feel sorry for the bitch. Its ironic how people are quite happy to jump on *this* media bandwagon when it suits them !!

You could well be right, however many have actually made those comments publicly however anonymously. So it is not quite the media beat up and no media band wagon, yet.

Who cares what a garbage TV show says.

The guy is a champ. End of story.
