Heaven forbid but the chief football writer for The Age newspaper is gutted by a 'vile', 'sexist' joke by Eddie McGuire. There is an immediate outpouring of shock and outrage. Predictably, the ABC is all over it like a fat kid with a packet of Smarties. (Whoops, better watch it there!)

Meanwhile, in First World countries..

Have the Offenderati finally jumped the shark on this one?

Typical school boy humour by Eddie.

Women with no humor.

the fact that this was even news worthy shows we have far to many overpaid whingers on the public purse who obviously have no productive work to do. The afl is turning into a disgrace.

Totally agree, otb. McGuire should be free to demonstrate his puerile antics on the airwaves. Footy boys bantering about drowning a journo should probably be in the school curriculum.

Eddie letting us know precisely the kind of prat he is while entertaining his dodo mates is priceless.

He'd fit in well around here.

Heartening to see you still scrounging around for a thread topic to bop the feminists - way to go!

I've been out of touch from what passes for news for you few days. Arrived home last night to headlines that McGuire had committed some heinous, unimaginable sin. Turned out that he would't mind if someone drowned a journalist! Wow! 100% of the rest of us probably think we'd like to see 80% of journalists drowned. I think Eddy is a tool, but his often loose mouth is nowhere as embarrassing the pathetic screeching of po faced whingers with nothing better to think about.
