AFR salutes the heroes; ABC turns to the Hollowmen for funding bid

In today’s environment of financial crisis and scandal, Dr Mumbo salutes the Australian Financial Review for remembering one important fact – businessmen are the real heroes, goddam it!

For evidence, look no further than today’s edition of AFR Boss magazine. It’s a long time since Dr Mumbo saw so many masters of the universe staring thoughtfully, heroically even, into the middle distance. Not since he last picked up a midmarket clothes catalogue, anyway.

Even the bloke in the ad for carbon neutral paper gets in on the pretending-the-camera-isn’t-there act.

Forget about surf lifesavers, or firies – business folk are who we should be celebrating right now.
