Inspired by the splash in last Saturday’s The Sydney Morning Herald, we proudly introduce a new media award that we’d love to have to present very, very occasionally*.

As you can see (above, right, and below) this priceless trophy will go to what our judges believe is the best example by a media outlet banging on about something the vast majority of Australians couldn’t give a flaming flying fuck about!

One staffer suggested it be called the Tell Someone Who Cares! Trophy but we thought the Flaming Flying Fuck gong nails it. Agree?

And what better example to kick off with than the nation’s woeful mainstream mediocre’s obsession with wondering if and when Anthony Albanese will have a sit-down face-to-faeces meeting with Donald Trump!

The vast majority of Australians don’t hate the PM that much! Agree?

We suspect that while the ABC’s national political lead and a handful of other politics scribes truly believe Australian tides will stop coming in and out, the Poms will clean sweep the Ashes five-zip and Christmas will be permanently cancelled unless Albanese and Trump meet in person within the next 24 hours, most Australians could not give a flaming flying fuck if Albo never, ever, sits down again with arguably one of the world’s greatest ever cunts.

* Doubt why The Bug has never made a bob in 36 years? No expense has been spared in crafting our latest media trophy, from its balsa-wood base painted to look like an endangered Australian hardwood species, to its lead shield dipped in fool’s gold and the starched clingwrap sheet moulded to make the whole award look like it’s encased in the finest of Waterford crystal!
