“Samsung is the first non-surfing brand to sponsor the ASP.” Garbage!!!! Fosters and Coca Cola sponsored the ASP well before Samsung.

Best thing in the SMH this morning – a lengthy Press Council adjudication on a story they ran about a politician being involved in operating a brothel. The ruling itself is nothing special, what’s made me laugh is that rather than running it on the news pages, they’ve filed it under Arts & Entertainment 🙂
