Ben Cousins and Transoceanic Media Fun
The front page of theage.com is all abuzz at the moment because Ben Cousins (addict footballer back in LA for rehab, now missing!) made it to the front page of PerezHilton.com.
Whoo hoo! Australia and the footy have arrived! The US has finally recognized Australia’s significance through horseman of the apocalypse, Perez Hilton!
Except, the comments on Perez’s website reveal a certain… lack of familiarity with the topic and young Master Cousins.
Commenters #34-36 had this to say:
Another article on someone of absolutely no significance.
Im first who the fuck is ben cousins
First!

snort it suck it lick it fuck it!
“Franz” added my favorite comment (though I should say I stopped at 41 of over 160, so it’s a small sample size):
Dude, he’s a rugby player. They are called ‘Ruggers’ Footballers are ’soccer players’
That did not go over well with Perez’s apparently AFL-loving commenters/people who were directed there from The Age.
In other news, there’s an election on, Burma’s forcing children into the military, and the AU$ climbed above US93c today.
Perez Hilton ROCKS!
