I agree completely.

I always respected Thorp's ability as a swimmer, but could not stand the fawning adulation, as I did not think much of him as a bloke.

Looks like I was right there.

The problem with this was, that anybody
who thought this was unusual or shocking
are the ones with the problem, not Thorpe.

Frankly I couldn't care if he had a fettish for elephants.
HO! Hum!. Yawn.

This was the media trying to fill empty time space.

Thorpie, Darl, get over yourself,
nobody cares.

Don't blame you for accepting the big story fee
though. If they're willing to pay it might as
well take it.

He'll probably get engaged to a nice girl soon & get even more money for being a telling hero !

Who really cares a stuff whether Ian Thorpe is gay
Who really cards a stuff that George is one year old
Who really cares a stuff that Kate is up the duff.
How about some real and truthfull reporting by TV & Newspapers of people who are worth reporting about, not the super rich

Ojnab,
you mean report about victims of crime or pensioners doing it tough or limp-wristed magistrates or victims of Labor supporting bureaucrats etc etc. ? You mean boring stuff like that when you can have such important issues like kate's dress or sport ?
