Tina Sparkle-gate Continues

9:13AM Clem Bastow | After being caned for saying the wrong thing (or for not saying the right thing) many, many times at the Beijing Olympics, it seems there might be more to Sonia Kruger’s run of gaffes than meets the eye. Could it be possible that the powers that be at Channel Seven had instructed her to play up to the ‘dumb blonde‘ stereotype in order to ensure ratings – or at least talkback – gold?

Triple M Have Taken To Mocking Sonia Kruger… There Will Be Blood

11:24AM Jess McGuire | What kind of idiot can’t comprehend the greatness that is Sonia Kruger? According to this article, Triple M are having a jolly good time poking fun at Tina Sparkle’s work on Yum Cha. Radio station Triple M has devoted two national drive-time segments, “Onya Sonia” and “Kruger or Not”, to slating Kruger, who also works for their radio rival, Mix 106.5. Well, the idea of Triple M making themselves out to be lovers of quality commentary, amusing banter, quick-witted conversation, and just socially relevant in general is about the most hilarious thing ever, and I would laugh heartily at Wil & Lehmo – yes, there’s a first time for everything! – were I not seething with red hot anger over their hideous disrespect of this fine nation’s greatest star of both the screen and the wireless, Ms Sonia Kruger. If those bastards don’t issue a drive time apology to Tina Sparkle, I will kick them both in the cock (NOTE TO LAW ENFORCEMENT: THIS IS A METAPHOR). VIVA LA SPARKLE! More »

11:41AM Clem Bastow | It’s shaping up to look like Beijing 2008 is just not going to be Tina Sparkle’s Olympics. After she was hooted at for asking whether 48kg meant the weight-lifters lifted or weighed 48kg (one would think a reasonable question… sort of), Sonia Kruger has found herself in the hosting deep end again – although this time, because of what she didn’t say rather than what she did. Confused yet? Read on. More »
