If you’ve flicked on Channel 10’s 7PM Project after work/school/uni/centrelink/jail and witnessed the stories covered the only thing to convince you you’re not watching ‘Today Tonight’ or ‘A Current Affair’ is the battalion of hip hosts/guests and their shock jock mates holding court like they’re in a wine commercial set at a pretentious dinner party.
Where ‘Today Tonight’ is the show for outer suburban head cases, 7PM Project is ‘Today Tonight’ for inner city idiots. Those that feel they are too sophisticated but still need to know the answers to the important issues like ‘Is your toothbrush killing you?’ or even:
Public pissing
The show has already mastered the advertising masquerading as a story but the real gem is the their highly engaging twitter social media conversation based around the show’s driving tabloid issues, including:
The old chestnut
Bloody louts on our roads
Corporal punishment for kids
Borderline paedophilia
The plain weird
and the mind numbing
Oh, let’s not forget asylum seekers and a disaster
Or the factual insight and analysis covered in an article suggesting that OMG, it’s the end of the world!
The topics of the night’s show are also tantalisingly sent out over the twittersphere giving us a succinct taste of what’s on tonight in only 140 characters or less, including:
Taxi Drivers and a tweeting python
Er, a girl who taught her cow to show jump
People knicking rubbish
And the even more burning hot burning issue of there not being enough beefcakes around.
All this leads you to ask would Today Tonight even accept this? There’s only one-way to find out and it’s called ‘The 7PM Project Project’©. It’s where we aim to get a story or issue discussed on the 7Pm project covered by Today Tonight. All it takes is cutting their stories and then pasting them into the story suggestion box on Today Tonight’s webpage:
Then we sit back and play the waiting game to see if they ever make the air. They say the waiting game is the hardest game of all. I reckon if whomever ‘they’ are realised that the waiting game meant having to watch ‘Today Tonight’ every day to see if they actually do a story that the ‘7PM Project’ covered then there would be another way to describe it other that the ‘hardest game of all’. Right after they called us either suburban head cases, inner city idiots or just plain fucking morons.
Let’s see what the results bring, while you wait please ask yourself this very important question:
Steve Price….failed radio host, successful drink driver. If only he was good at radio we wouldn’t have to see him on tele.
Bwa! Nothing like smug tv.
You do realize most of those web polls are joke polls, right?
The best thing about criticizing a show’s content based on its Twitter feed is you get to feel smug without having to watch the content!
Not watching the show is the greatest gift of all. Thanks again, twitter!
Fucking touche
KB needs to go back to researching stories about exploding showbags and what it means to mums he hehe
Good fucking analysis…
This is brilliant!
Couldnt agree more with that, very attractive article
I concur.., all of the above are pure dross masquerading as Current Affairs. A lump of bullshit dressed up with a red ribbon is still a lump of bullshit.
Let’s face it, anything that comes from an Australian tv is shit. And don’t get me started on journalism here. This thing is Australia isso far away from the rest of the world, the Australians just don’t realize how bad their tv shows are. The project is shit, they’re not even funny, and when they discuss some dead baby story they’ll try and make a joke of it. Tv here is just shit.
Most Australian TV makes want to inject myself with windex, no surprise… But there is something particularly grating about the project. Maybe it’s the left wing snarl in every “political piece”( I use the term very very loosely) that goes to air. Maybe it’s charly pickerings shit eating grin as Carrie bogmore super inflates his head by laughs inainly at the grossly unfunny mind numbing jokes ( again I use the term loosely). It could be how Hughsy the once mr man of the people has austrisized himself from the average slack jawed ausy. But mainly I recon it’s the fact these elitist ringworms honestly think they speak for the people of Australia. I nearly made it through a full show tonite before the duct tape gave way and I spewed all over my favorite wig… There’s always tomorrow… Unless I get carried away with this windex, just flicked over to the voice.
