Clarke and Dawe - ABC Axes Arts Programming

[TheSaieashMohanadas]

"We get our news from the same place ABC gets it news - Twitter"

[natkoyama]

TV is dead, axing arts programs will be a good thing if the energy is shifted to a more democratic, flexible medium (the interwebs)

[MrJamesdryable]

"can you write milk down, i better get some milk"

[LiamistheBest13]

Xezatt it helps if you read the inro , then you might understand what it's about

[Xezatt]

fuck off there's a script

[KrunchyJD]

@Xezatt Its a joke, some people on youtube are stupid!

[Xezatt]

@KrunchyJD thats what i meant, you stupid. the joke is scripted

[artyfarty3]

"we get our news from the same place that ABC gets it's news - Twitter ! - i mean we are not idiots ." ROFL !!! Classic ! ;)

[reubot0]

Collectors was never the same since Andy was arrested.

hahahhaahhahahahah

[poetperson1]

Art is always the first to go (apart from decent funding of public facilities) when the Right are gathering steam. You can't have intellectual expansion going on with a narrowing of the cultural arteries.

[quadturbo4]

Where's the "Love" button?

[igotnoideawhattoput]

'we got our news from the same place as the ABC, twitter'

[jobytv]

That is fantastic! One of the funniest I've seen.

I love how they've perfected saying the same thing at the same time.

'We're a current affairs program' haha!

[quinnthalas]

I love these two, so funny, if I was not British I would want to be Australian.

[visigothic67]

@quinnthalas Actually John is from new Zealand but keep to yourself,if word gets out they may take him back.

[TVFILMBUFF]

@SubzeroedMind No they are not being shut down lol

This is satire. Or should I say.... creative satire :)

[NickyNickyWaaWaa]

i wish there was more information about the episode in the sidebar because sometimes i've got no idea what they're talking about

[TVFILMBUFF]

@NickyNickyWaaWaa The ABC has announced it is axing a number of shows due to falling audiences and tighter budgets. Those slated to go are "New Inventors", "Art Nation" and "Collectors". The fact that all three of these shows are creative, inventive and artistic has caused the ABC to be criticised for its "cultural vandalism" of its network.

In this episode, Clarke and Dawe attempt to convince the ABC that their show is neither creative nor inventive, and therefore should be spared from cuts

[KentAllard]

@TVFILMBUFF

New Inventors and Collectors are pretty light weight

[Prod1Kh]

@KentAllard New Inventors is lightweight? While various governments around the world are telling their populations to get innovative to replace their departed manufacturing industries, the ABC is axing the show that encouraged Australians to get innovative.

[KrunchyJD]

@Prod1Kh We are true idiots in Australia.

[DunlopDaytona]

@TVFILMBUFF Artistic or Autistic, you be the judge.

[TimeImp]

"Remember the onions!" Classic.

[outhouse23]

sadness



[Choo69]

my sympathies, i hope you two find better and bigger things.

[GuitarsRockForever]

These two make much better state of the art news and current affair program betters than almost everyone else out there.

[Lieu3C4]

Yes. We must get rid of the Arts. Hemispherical lobotomies have been in style since the mid 70s. Rational minded. That is the way to go. Australia: what a failure. Even with its ABCs.

[Vlakpage]

@Lieu3C4 what is this about?

[WeaselWJ]

Epic contradiction.

[mamaduke16]

Was that alright, Brian?????

[theduderwiggysan]

[TheImmaterial]

Thanks for your time tonight.

[FedayTek]

Great Contradiction
