Dear The Age Online,
After our rather heated encounter a few weeks back in which I berated your in print cousin for making me dumb on a Sunday morning (no I don't particularly care where a bunch of Melbourne 'Celebrities' go to get drunk and forget their trivial lives), I have officially had enough. Today at approximately 3:57pm I unsubscribe from your email updates.
Though I appreciate the information regarding the untimely death of one John Hughes, 80s hero (R.I.P JH, my childhood dies with you), you give me nothing!
Each hour I spend trawling through the Internet trying to pass the time has increasingly been an hour less spent with you because, actually, I don't care about AFL players, who is set to replace Kyle whatshisface or how dining with men is good for my diet (no shit, here).
The Age Online, our friendship ends now - I will continue onto greener pastures (best site ever) and you no doubt will continue getting shit!
Sincerely yours,
Most Intelligent Australians
Right on. And now, apparently, they're going to start charging for their website, too! I'll be interested to see how well that goes for them.
ReplyDeleteSomeone who worked for The Age once told me that the Age website is shit because it's not actually made in Melbourne, it's run out of the Fairfax offices in Sydney (i.e. The Sydney Morning Herald). So Sydney newspeople are more tacky and tabloid than their Melbourne equivalents? Who'd have guessed...?
