The Slap - Wallace Souza: killing for ratings

[8GrolschMan8]

what? cmon be fair.. how can i list all the slap-worthy news folk when YouTube's character limit is only 500?

[ComedianMattElsbury]

No need to list them all in one hit, I'll be here for a while

[8GrolschMan8]

If you're not limiting it to Australia, you could frisbee a slap to the UK for the phone messages left to, Faulty Towers actor, Andrew Sachs by Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand. There's a sick trend starting up based on sensationalism. Im not sure which im sickened by the most, the fact that it happens, or the fact that it works on the masses.

[ComedianMattElsbury]

If I'd been Slapping at the time, it definitely would've gotten a mention. I'm personally fed up with comedy "stunts" aimed at soft targets. Take on someone powerful, or deserving by attitude, and there's the chance to make something really good.

[8GrolschMan8]

We're in dire need of a 'John Pilger' style investigative journalist

[8GrolschMan8]

Grimshaw is always an open target - Something tells me you want to raise the difficulty setting though. You might want to exclude her from the hunt all together because ACA isnt news, therefore Grimshaw is not "in the news". She does deserve a slap over the ( f%#k just realised that its another sensasionalist)Gordon Ramsey incident. I know, i know - old news but definately slap-worthy.

Politicians in brazil can't get arrested? What the hell does that say?

"Well uh, we think you might have something to do with this crime... We can't actually detain you so uh... be a good boy while we sort this out and stay in the city. Oh yeah and if you are the person responsible... no uh... no more killings okay?"

[ComedianMattElsbury]

One of the reasons I read was to stop local politicians from throwing their opponents in jail during election campaigns. But, if there was ever a law DESIGNED to be abused, that's it.

[Santarem70]

Wrong.

Yes, politicians can be arrested in case of flagrant or hideous criminal act.

As a matter of fact, Wallace Souza is in jail.

[ComedianMattElsbury]

My information came from the BBC news website, so if they're wrong, so am I - from what I have read, Souza was only able to be arrested after being expelled from the state assembly.

[Santarem70]

You are right about the sequence of the facts on Wallace's case. But it not true that a politician cannot be arrested. They can, in those cases I've mentioned before.

Lol Homo sapiens. I like the sponser too.

Great message to the sports world Matt xD Awesome video!

[Walshy8113]

Another great slap though a lot of rugby players seem to be doing things to women that they shouldn't be lately

[Gippslander]

Is your sponsor affiliated with MISPWOSO?

If you don't recognise it, it's from Mostly Harmless, the 5th Hitch Hiker book and it stands for

the Maximegalon Institute for Slowly and Painfully Working Out the Surprisingly Obvious.

[ComedianMattElsbury]

I may have to investigate... it would make sense, as these surveys are for questions no human would bother asking.

[AngryAussie]

I think your sponsor will get a lot of business!

[CriticalPunishment]

Giving obvious information hahahaha! Awesome video Matt!
