Matt Corby’s Idol Sulking Inspires Photo Editor Madness
News and photo editors at proper papers would realise they probably have about two days of genuine news mileage* to get out of this year’s Australian Idol, and they’re working mighty hard!
Turns out Matt Corby has been having a sook about his treatment at the hands of the press, not to mention the mercurial Mark Holden, and bloggers are talking about Natalie Gauci’s likelihood of falling prey to the apparent Idol curse that dogs female winners (in Australia, mind; I don’t think Carrie Underwood is particularly stressing), so what do those comedians at News Ltd come up with?
Sheer genius:
They’ve simultaneously managed to comment on everything including their own desperation at Idol’s newsworthiness slipping through their fingers.
Expect a similar illustration come Friday or so that says something like “OH GOD, JUST LET US TALK ABOUT IDOL FOR ONE MORE DAY!!” with a picture of Matt Corby wiping away a tear.
* NB we’ll hear no lip from you lot about this; we’re allowed to cover Idol until the cows come home!

Yikes! The image of lovely Matty C being bruised by the Joker-esque Holden is nearly as frightening as the photo montages’ clear implication that Gauchi will end up plus-sized, but unfortunately in only the literal sense…
