Mediocre Bytes is not exactly sure what hard-copy newspaper the heading shown above and below came from, but The NZ Herald featured it the other day.

It’s a beauty, isn’t it? Right up there with Body found in cemetery!

Last week Brisbane’s Murdoch-owned daily turdbloid The Courier-Mail ran a story on the woes of federal Immigration Minister Andrew Giles. (below)

The yarn ended with a pointer to an opinion piece on “page 55”. But on turning to page 55 this is what the paper’s reader saw……

While Garfield may well have a view on Mr Giles, what they meant to say was to head to page 49 where federal political righter Samantha Maiden held forth on why Mr Giles shouldn’t be in his job, or in government at all for that matter – a line of argument commonly used by News Crap Australia outlets when considering everyone in the Albanese Government.

Wouldn’t we all have loved to have been flies on the wall at this swank Sydney restaurant when Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and a billionaire friend tucked into hundreds of dollars of quality seafood?

The Daily Mail was not alone in giving us all the opportunity to image the poor bastards giving it their best shot trying to eat “three live lobsters”!

Okay, okay. Leave us alone. We know what they meant. But you try to collect shit for this column over and over again. It’s not as if we’re being paid lobster-rates to compile this stuff.

We thought it was funny. Close your eyes and just imagine Albo and his filthy rich mate trying to stab these bastards as they scurry around their plates. Sushi very much!

On a wider scale, we note the ongoing obsession with the mainstream mediocre about the temerity of our current PM being shouted a top-shelf meal. Filthy rich restaurateurs should stick to their own class, namely Liberal prime ministers!

Albanese CAUGHT in very expensive act, indeed! Initially, we thought Albo might have been doing a Hugh Grant in Los Angeles!

No. It was just eating hundreds and hundreds of dollars of live lobster! It’s just an extension of the outrage the MSM expressed for days on end after Albo and his gal spent their own money on holiday taste-testing a $500 bottle of red at a WA winery. How fucking dare he do that when so many Aussies are facing crippling cost-of-living pressures, what!
