I'm sure there was some lengthy profile done in Fairfax, probably, while Don Burke was still on TV about how many people had left his show saying that he was a complete jerk to work with. The details coming to light now show how much he was an intensely sexist, offensive jerk who, like Weinstein, sounds lucky to have avoided sexual assault charges.
But I have to say, guiltily, that some of the stories are so crude and so "real life Sir Les Patterson" that I keep thinking how some of them done in a movie satirising such a character could play as shockingly funny. Not funny to be a real women trying to fend him off; it's more some of the ridiculously crude things he thought he could say to women and not have them take offence.
I am staggered he got away with it. high ratings meant people who should have done something ignored him.
ReplyDeleteThis man never grew up. In a way he is like Trump.
ReplyDeleteBoth have no idea of what standards are and they should have been pointed out to them.
Insert pun in bad taste about how Don Burke's response was 'I am disappointed in the 9 network. They chose hoes over bros'
ReplyDeletegives another meaning to the term 'not in my backyard'

ReplyDeleteAnyone understand what Paxton is trying to say? He's such and idiot.
