Another Hoon story by channel Rex

[bully]

Well Today Tonight did another beefed up lets gain the rating story on street racing, i suggest anyone that saw that one sided lot of rubbish email them strongly to protest. It not that what they stated didnt happen it was just blown out of proportion

[caminperth]

Bully - I just saw it and agree completely. Problem is, if you say things like it's blown out of proportion they'll just say that you're advocating the racing scenes shown in the article.

Not sure what positive things could be done here - need to think some more...

Today tonight is a crap show anyhows. If even a small amount of Perth agree with the attitudes shown there - no wonder Perth has the name of a boring city..

the street racing scene looks choreographed

why anyone in the right mind would race so close with ppl standing along the residential road ? thats just crazy

[caminperth]

Aidwin - thats right.. also did you notice that the soundtrack to the film shown pointing at the commode speedo and tacho had the gears chirping in every gear... like 5 times?!?!

Also - did they actually mention what suburb they were talking about?

[SHUTO-BOY]

it would be a better story if they got interviews from responsible car enthusiasts and also hoons- maybe it can even help solve the problem

but the way they presented the story tonite looks like they just want ratings, and the aftermath, innocent ppl get targetted as hoons

[bully]

again the old folks at the end of my street will call in and bitch about me and gen because our exhausts are loud they think we speed every time we run up the road

[caminperth]

Aidwin - agreed.. But you're assuming people aside from us sad sacks actually watch that show..

Seriously - media are emotive wankers. Why show an even balanced argument? Then you wouldn't be able to make people angry...

[caminperth]

Bully - I had an interesting chat with an old guy who lives on my dad's street last week. He seemed to think loud car = fast speed and showed me so with his middle finger. I think he was quite surprised when I turned the car round, stopped and had a very quiet and civilised chat with him.

It worked...

[bully]

yer we had a chat ---- a loud chat his just a wanker that retired 10 years to early and has nothing to do but bitch. As we were "chatting" this other guy turned up and had a go at him as well because he hits golf balls all over his lawn and he hit this blokes car

[bully]

maybe today tonight should do a show on mad golfers terroing my street

[caminperth]

LOL @ Bully.. I bet Today Tonight would pick that one up cause they're trash!

[GTS-t VSPEC]

It must be another slow news week when they have to make up another stupid story on street racers, luckily I never watch Channel 7:D

[APA]

Ummm. wow! There is a channel 7 ? daym! never knew that.

This just goes to show that channel 7 licks balls, i never watch that channel anyway, cos the stuff they put to air is crap.

As for the street racing, it pisses me off some of the people in my street give me dirty looks just changing gears... BOV = always flattening my foot apparently....

*sigh* looks like there'll never be a happy medium.

Was the footage even from perth? I wasn't paying full attention to it when the story came on.

That old bat reckons there were up to 8000 people in the street where they were racing, and that she was a prisoner in her house because she had reported the street racing thugs to the cops and they'd returned seek vengeance!
