ACA Rehash Hey Dad Story
[10.3.11 | 0 comments ] , ,

A Current Affair outdid themselves at the start of the week with their "exclusive" new twist to the Sarah Monahan Hey Dad "scandal". The story was heavily promoted before being aired on Monday night. It ran for about 13 minutes - about half the show's length. For the first 11 minutes all we got was a complete rehash of the story aired 12 months ago. Just repeated footage, nothing new.

And the exclusive story? News that Sarah Monahan is "considering" taking civil action against a former member of the cast. Anti climax? You bet. With Two and a Half Men now cancelled, perhaps ACA could fill the 7pm slot with repeats of previous episodes. Running rehashed stories with old footage and calling it news is just a con job.

Then again, given The Age ran the story the next day as if it were new, and not based on 12 month old information, perhaps rehashing is the way to go. Meanwhile the police investigation continues. Lets hope they aren't pressured into making determinations based on tabloid TV.

About Just Grumpy

Im not a right wing nut job, far from it. I just believe that the world doesnt owe you a living, you make your own luck (was that Kevin Rudd?) and if you work hard you can succeed.

Thats not to say that we shouldnt help those who cant help themselves. I have a firm belief in giving a helping hand up to those who genuinely need it. (please give generously to my linked charities)

I call myself a realist and i want to tell it like it is. Somebody has to speak the truth. Because seriously, what a selfish bunch of insular tools we have become in today's dreamy Australia.

Maybe we arent so different to the rest of the world. And maybe it was always this way.

Anyway, until things change, i remain young and grumpy.
