Showbiz Midget's Attempt At Cheekiness Appals Highbrow Sydney Confidential Folk
Posted by Jess McGuire at 7:47 AM on June 8, 2007
Oh, Grant Denyer - when will you stop "going there" in the name of comedy? A month on from your highly descriptive declaration that your hang-over after the Logies had made you feel as if you'd just had sex with a black man*, you've managed to rile up moral crusaders Sydney Confidential with the way you finished Tuesday night's episode of It Takes Two.
Now his sign-off from the celebrity karaoke show has hit a nerve - and not the funny bone - with industry veterans.
With a wink, Denyer closed this week's episode with a cheeky "see you next Tuesday" - which is also a crass acronym for trash talkers.
While Seven may argue it's a simple pointer to the timeslot, it breaks a long-standing law of TV etiquette.
It's listed under "g" for good grace in the showbiz bible, Grant.
Personally, we back Denyer one hundred percent on this, and remain flabbergasted he was never considered for the role of Graham Kennedy in the recent hit telemovie The King.
*Do gay porn stars who have anal sex with black men describe their post-pounding temperament as "like being hung-over from the Logies after party!", do you think? If not, we'd like them to start.

Why aren't Sydney Confidential more appalled by the general tackiness of "It Takes Two"? If some vague showbiz childish joke is all they can get riled up about, then they obviously haven't seen the entire show. Even the sight of Jo Stanley makes me want to rip my eyeballs out and when she starts singing I find myself reaching for some chopsticks to poke out my eardrums.

It's obviously a slow slow day at Sydney Confidential.
I say "Go Grant" for braking such a taboo. I mean for Christ's sake, its ridiculous. I wonder what the Chaser will make of it???
You wanna news story? what about the London 2012 Olympic brand logo? It's DIRTY!

Is it at all possible that when Denyer sa1d "See you next Tuesday", what he meant was "See you next Tuesday"?

I don't get it. If the program is rubbish, don't watch it. If you get the acronym, it's probably because you use it your self. Seems like a storm in a teacup to me.

Once again Sydney Confidential have proven themselves as a bunch of disgruntled journalists who will attack anything, not matter how stupid, just to have a gripe. Personally I am sick to death of hearing this was written in Sydney Confidential or that was. Who cares. No one ever takes the fiction as gospel and anyone who does should get a new doctor.
