Four twats who really, truly, ironically want you to enjoy their snags

The Editor used to live in Lilyfield, Sydney, and go (thrice a week, in fact) to pubs in Balmain with his mates. At that stage of his life he and his flatmate were quite probably morons. However, The Editor’s bachelor stupidity is nothing when stacked up against the four twats from Lilyfield who have auctioned off their company for a weekend of “some beers, some snags, some good conversation and a hell of a lot of laughs” — a plan they devised in a Balmain pub.

Three of these sexually frustrated but crazy-in-a-fun-way guys are marketing reps (read: door-to-door salesmen) and the fourth is a law student (read: dishpig). They will claim that they did it for a laugh but in reality they really did it because an eBay ad is cheaper than four hookers. From News Ltd.: “But they haven’t been… open about their relationship status, with the blokes refusing to reveal whether they have girlfriends.”

Even more pathetic than these dickheads’ pathetic drunken stunt is the media’s reaction to it. From Fairfax: “The four Sydney blokes auctioning a weekend of friendship on eBay were very rich men for a short time today as the site was hit with a flurry of fake bids reported to be as high as $45 million.”

Why does the media give oxygen to stunts like this? Stupid stuff goes to auction every day on eBay and every time the stupid stuff receives enormous fake bids. Reporting this crap is the laziest form of journalism around — it’s the equivalent of a blogger reporting his or her search keyword hits. It’s not funny. It’s not ironic. It’s not interesting. It’s worse-than-undergrad juvenile humour that belongs in the obscure dark corners of multi-national websites and not in major newspapers and morning television news programs.
