Packer v Gyngell the front pages
Dr Mumbo loves a good front page and, having spent more than $200,000 on the Packer v Gyngell photos and video, News Corp Australia’s tabloids certainly deliver today.
Sydney Daily Telegraph kicks off with the headline “Packer Wacker” and dedicates no less than the first nine pages to the story of two 40+ years old CEOs in a street brawl.
Dr Mumbo’s favourite article is this review of the boxing styles of both men which includes the immortal line: “Wrestling and snorting, the smart money was on a Cranbrook boy — the first time in recorded history that sentence has ever been written.”
Meanwhile in the other states:
Added points for the ‘Fist On Nine’ gag.
Why haven’t the NSW Police charged these two louts with affray etc?
This is the most enjoyable news event in memory. Great work gents, you have brightened my last few days immeasurably. Can you make it a weekly gig?
“Wrestling and snorting, the smart money was on a Cranbrook boy — the first time in recorded history that sentence has ever been written.” Brilliant!!!
3rd – Courier Mail. 2nd – Obviously the Tele. But hands down win to the NT News. Just great.
Even my Herald devoted the first three pages to these two overpaid arseholes’ antics. I’d cancel my subscription if I had one. What’s wrong with our media?
Jerks.
A brilliant publicity stunt for RatPac – bravo.
I cant wait for the new Underbelly Series – Packer the Wacker
