So I finally saw the whole Tom Cruise vs Reporter thing and lo-and-behold I find I have to agree with him. Who'd a thunk it? Me agreeing with him? That reporter was a jerk-off.
So what is in a name? Well here are two examples of just that:
1- I saw on the T.V. gnus on Foxtel, a story about a guy who refused to pay the 18% "service fee" -read "Tip"- on his restaurant bill at the end of the evening, because he didn't think the service was that good. "Fair enough" I say, if the service is crap I don't tip either. The restaurant owner says that the "service fee" is stated clearly on the menu and that he expects it to be paid, so he calls the cops. The guy gets arrested by the cops after being pulled over on his way home (his kids and wife were also in the car). The cops charged him with stealing services and he is ordered by the court to pay up. The name of the restaurant? Soprannos in New Jersey, I shit thee not. If that was me at the Soprannos restaurant in New Jersey..... I'd have paid the whole damned bill!! What, are you kiddin' me? Dey coulda whacked da guy.
2- We in Oz are proud (not) to have a radio "personality" who calls herself "Jackie-O". Seriously, she does. Now I dunno about anyone else but for my money there has already been a "Jackie-O", she was the wife of JFK and Ari Onassis. Hence the name "O" ( not from the movie of the same name) Jackie Kennedy-Onassis was the very image of elegance and classic style and this pretentious "pretender" certainly isn't. Hmmm, maybe she is referring to the movie "story of O" after all.
Anyway that's my bee-atch for the day, g'nite.
