Tonight, you will get the 2010 edition of the "Interstate Boxing Day Sales" on the news, while reminding us that Adelaide will have to wait until x day (Tuesday this year). Plus the obligatory camera coverage of the doors opening with the crush of people waiting to enter the store pouring into David Jones or whatever.

Every year we see this on the news. What do we also see every year?

Yes and I'm not sure why we do keep on hearing about it because I think the greater majority of the population couldn't give a flying f*** if the shops are closed for a few days.

ACA and TT

dodgy car yards

[Barto]

They will show the usual shots of people walking down Rundle Mall, looking into closed shops, an interview with a tourist who says they wish shops were open.....

They've stopped doing this in WA because we're not 'backwards' now that we have consumerism on Boxing Day. Seriously, cant people get by without shopping for a couple of days?

Not sure if this has come out yet, but a top interstate jockey is in BIG trouble, the police are all over him for allegedly very bad things with a 'minor'.

Yep already been out. He had to miss a race meet back in September/Octoberish because of the allegations. Was in the news but the nature of the interest from the police was not mentioned.

Something which comes up in news bulletins from time to time is the umpteenth study into obesity, accompanied by shots of peoples big torsos walking down a mall.

[Sojourner]

The Media did the story "Mitsubishi rumoured to be in trouble / are closing" that they eventually got their wish, only took about 15 years of constant badgering to get it to happen!

Annual Media Mike and Lance Armstrong love-fest.
