The SEN Thread 2

[Manbearpig]

So is she being shallow commenting on peoples appearance when she does?

Yes, she is.

 

[hbk_aus]

You seemed to be just targeting her right to do her job but didn't mention all the other talking heads in the media who do the same thing, difference is most of them are male. I've heard her have a go at footballer's wives and Greg Norman's ex for putting up with their men screwing around and then running to the women's magazines wanting sympathy and money when the men finally leave them. And the best thing I've ever heard her do was her rant on Germaine Grear, after what she said about Steve Irwin. Don't think too many card carrying feminists would be attacking Greer like that.

I don't think there is anything wrong with us having a go at media people, I think we are entitled to criticise anything about them that we want. I didn't want to be a pig about it, I just said that she would be really hot if she lost weight. I know its shallow but thats what i think.

Funnily enough, i didnt comment about other people because I assumed the topic of conversation was Rita, or whatever her real name is...and as u can see, i did say that i feel the ame about the other names that u brought up.

Ok, u gave me good examples, i take back the feministic bit, see, i can admit i am wrong...

SO if u agree with my point of view, why are u accusing me of "targeting" her, when she was the actual topic of the conversation at the time?

Yeah i think you can call her shallow but when I've heard her do that she is being funny at least so its never bothered me.
Its funny how her articles are all serious and on radio its all a joke.

 

[hbk_aus]

Yes, she is.

Ok, fair enough. I guess we will all continue to co-exist in this shallow existence then...

I think u will find stiff opposition to the comment about her being funny.... I guess i am being sexist when i say i dont find her funny then...

Okay good point there hbkaus, i just detected an anti female slant on what you were saying but will accept that you were just sticking to topic. Why do we think she is not really called Rita? Its the name the herald sun use for her articles.

lol i dunno, i just listened to a guy that called up SEN before at about 12.30 and said that "why should we listen to a lady that comes onto the radio and wont even use her real name", and Doran didnt argue with him, so assumed that she goes by an alias....

 

[bigtuna]

Sure.

The North Melbourne Football Club is back, and we all need to stick together.

Well done mate. You'll be happy to know i've done my bit for our membership numbers by signing up 3 of my nephews. They're always supporting a different team every year but hopefully now they'll be lifetime roos.

According to Doran, Allun Jones as in the Tennis player used to be Australia's Rugby Union coach. I wonder if he thinks Eddie Jones is the same Eddie Jones playing in the NBA, or maybe he thinks Eddie Jones is a Tennis player.

 

[X_box_X]

Ah, that Alan Jones.

 

[paul scholes]

Didn't hear it but don't have a problem with presenters airing their views on their own shows. From what Rita says on Casual Fridays Doran is left wing anyway so I'm sure he still has a Kevin 07 poster on his bedroom wall.

No he's not ! It's a SPORTS station not radio liberal. Rahul Dravid is more entertaining than that show with Harford and the Mx journo. If I want to hear radio Liberal i'll put 693 on.

So there your 1st fault, taking Dorans opinion.

The caller would have been referring to the fact that she goes by the name Ripa Rita.

1. Doran is a Labor man.
2. He made a very, very brief comment pertaining to politics and it was said in a light handed manner.
3. Calm down

I'm calm as. Appreciate your concern

Paul Scholes is one fiery person indeed. Shame when Scholes took a swipe at that Liverpool player (forget who it was) he didn't connect.

here's a trivial fact...allun jones the tennis player was one of the players who lost in the movie 'wimbledon'

Surely not, i have heard them call her Rita Panahi (spelling?) on there? Oh well, thats the impression i got anyway...

 

[MacMum]

I find her very funny, and I like her attitude to life in general.......a spade is a spade!! Male or female!.......no beating around the bush or pussyfooting around worrying about political correctness etc....says it like it is.....way to go Rita!!.....Leave her alone you guys.....you are being very petty indeed..

 

[sarbbo]

Being a mod does give me 0 credibility thank you very much. Rita is good value she gets a reaction but tries too hard to. You can always predict her opinions on topics and what's going to come out of her mouth.

But seriously, appearing on A Current Affair? Come on!

ACA is rubbish agreed there mate but don't go having a go at my fav radio gal. She makes me laugh every week so she's not too predictable in my book.

People can say what they want about her, but I reckon commenting about her looks says more about you than her.

I've already been attacked for saying she needs to hit the gym by someone else on BF, don't need you having a go too mate.

 

[sarbbo]

Bloody hell, you guys have been busy, how many new posts since last night?

 

[sarbbo]

No you are just being humourless, guess you find the crap on MG funny.

You should join HBK in getting a sense of humour mate. If you can't hear a tiny bit of criticism of Kevin Rudd without getting your knickers in a knot than you should stick to the tobin brothers mate.

So there your 1st fault, taking Dorans opinion.

Didn't hear that but thats just plain stupid. Everyone knows her whole name, rippa rita is just a nickname.

1. Doran is a Labor man.

3. Calm down

Nah mate, didn't you know it was liberal radio, hosted by a labor man.

 

[sarbbo]

Anyone hear the run home tonight? The sound was givin me a headache and they had Phil Clearly on and he was carrying on like Carey has already been found guilty. Then they kept talkin about the hall of fame and they were making out that Ablett wasn't in the hall of fame. last time i checked he was, it just took a few years to get him in. How come ox and Francis didn't know that. I sent in about 4 texts telling them and they didn't say anything.

 

[ben.carbonaro]

Phil Cleary feels so strongly about violence towards women because his sister was killed and the guy who killed her got off very lightly.

Phil's always good value in my opinion.

They weren't talking about him never getting in the Hall of Fame, it was whether he would get in this year, being the first year he was eligible.

Ablett didn't get in for 4-5 years after becoming eligible. Which means that there were 4-5 years where he was eligible and the committee voted and rejected him based on... well, his off field issues.

What about her petty comments about Paul Chapman and his girlfriend a few years ago (that led her being suspended for a couple of weeks) ?
