I love this idea, because as a website developer I'm so sick and tired of Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) which requires so much tweaking when developing websites, lets get everyone we know to upgrade their Firefox or install Firefox for the first time so we can squash MSIE, Firefox is the king of this jungle, it's time everybody knew it.

The new Firefox version 3 is so fast, it's lighter on the computer and it could out race Microsoft Internet Explorer any day!

Exit Policy For Big Brother Australia 2008

Dear Big Brother/Network TEN,

If you want to win the number 1 position for the night, maybe the week or even the year, you should highly advertise for 7 days telling people to watch the next Sunday show as Big Brother ends the season early, watch to see the final ever episode of Big Brother Australia, a show which can't be missed, watch the reactions of the housemates as Big Brother admits it's been a failure and pulls the plug. See the housemates question if they have been the most boring set ever cast.

That would be Must See TV!!

An Australian TV history making moment!?

I think most people would love to see it officially fail.

It would be more dignified exit over the long-term train wreck we see now. Which is pushing other more valuable shows around causing people to miss them in an effort to avoid the mess that is BB08.

Think about it mate, it's for the best!

Surely he would win almost EVERYONE's vote?

Corey Worthington Delaney's 15-minutes-of-fame

Corey Worthington Delaney, famous for what reason?

Short of Corey; changing his name to Corey Hilton, dating Paris Hilton, or getting emancipated from his parents so he never has to face them for his actions in the next 48hrs, surely all this hype and incredible public interest in Corey will subside?


Earlier today during an interview on live radio, for which the station paid the teenager $750, party boy Corey fled the studios of Fox FM radio station.

He bolted out of the studio and fled fashionably down a fire escape after radio host Matt Tilley tried to remove his now ill-famed plastic yellow sunglasses, which he had kept on throughout the interview.

He was apparently chased by several news camera operators and an anxious radio producer but disappeared.

Corey later returned to the studio and completed the on-air interview.

Before making his escape, Corey was asked if he had anything to say to his parents who might be listening.

"Sorry," he said.

Asked if he was planning to return to home, he said: "To get my clothes and stuff".

Asked if he ever wanted to go home again, he said: "I do sort of, but don't know right now".

It's been interesting watching the media trying to get in on this story, the Nine Network's "A Current Affair" sumertime host Leila McKinnon, expecting apologies in addition to asking him to take off his glasses, as if she were his parent.. and today, Fox FM's Matt Tilley attempting to phiscally remove the now ill-famed plastic yellow sunglasses?

Corey also said today that he had been approached by DJ Lako to run an underage club in Melbourne. Matt Tilley made an interesting point in reply, saying, along the lines of it sounding a lot like something an evicted Big Brother housemate would say shortly before they had to return to work in a supermarket.

Listeners who called the studio to speak with Corey were overwhelmingly hostile, with one woman telling him he had no respect for anyone else and a man calling him a "knob" and warning him to "watch out". Perhaps some of the people who left comments on my earlier posts on Corey?


Update:
Police have taken Melbourne's party boy and global media star Corey Worthington into custody.

A reporter was told by a police spokeswoman that the 16-year-old had been taken to the Narre Warren police station in relation to the wild party at his parents house on Saturday night.
