He was not answering his work mobile yesterday and nobody was at the family home.

I hate that the media go to people's homes and stalk them in an attempt to get a "story". It's so invasive, makes my blood boil. This isn't even a very good story!

[–]Princess3ply 30 ポイント31 ポイント  (6子コメント)

This fucks me off as well. I realise they are doing their job and trying to get a story but really is this even a story? What if they have kids, do the kids really need to find out because the media are hanging around.

What questions can they really ask? Did you know your husband was having an affair? No. How do you feel? Gutted.

I just don't see how this is newsworthy to the extent they hound the home of the "victim"

[–]badsparrow 17 ポイント18 ポイント  (5子コメント)

They'd do anything for a quote from anyone even remotely involved. Anything to make more money, who cares if the wife and kids get hurt?

Man, this is really annoying me. Investigating a story is one thing, but going to the family home with the intention of harassing the victims is just wrong.

[–]Dead_Rooster 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (4子コメント)

This is barely even a story. Some asshole cheated on his wife and some other people happened to see it. End of story. This shit probably happens every day and until it's someone I know and care about, I don't wanna hear about it. Ugh.

"Assholes cheated on their wife/fiancé." FTFY

[–]hopda-dada 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

And yet you clicked this reddit post, you have visited the newspaper website, read the article, and taken the time to comment about it.

The newspaper wants your visit and attention. You gave it to them.

I agree that this is barely a story and yet we're all still feeding the media monster - even me as I contribute this comment.

[–]badsparrow 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Exactly. The people in the bar shouldn't have put the pictures online. What these two people did was stupid, but people do stupid shit all the time. No reason to plaster it all over the internet.

Now the media has run with it (any excuse to make a buck) and a bunch of people had their lives ruined. Bah.

[–]seamerkin 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

What these two people did was stupid, but people do stupid shit all the time. No reason to plaster it all over the internet.

Ah excuse me? Do you visit this planet often? 50% of the internet on this planet is basically made up of people doing stupid shit.

And no, there isn't a story here. Two incredibly stupid or extroverted people fuck in plain view. End of story.

[–]GiantCrazyOctopus 23 ポイント24 ポイント  (11子コメント)

And after criticizing people who watched!

[–]donttaxmyfatstacks 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (5子コメント)

There was once a time when journalism was a respectable profession.

[–]badsparrow 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Ahh, the good old days where the whiskey was strong, the women were loose and the journalists had integrity. You could smoke anywhere you wanted and gas cost a dime.

[–]donttaxmyfatstacks 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked..

[–]HerbertMcSherbert 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Kurt Bayer would love to hear your feedback

[–]donttaxmyfatstacks 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

No point shooting the messenger, his editor tells him what stories to follow. I wouldn't be surprised if he's as disillusioned in the profession as we are.

[–]HerbertMcSherbert 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Or we could provided feedback to both messenger and editor. Doesn't have to be nasty.

(NB. I recommend Nightcrawler too, for a good movie set around today's media.)

[–]Hubris2 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Plenty of people here in this forum have had the pitchforks out for the people who watched or recorded.

There should be more pitchforks for the media who have blown this into a bigger deal than it should be.

[–]badsparrow 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Agreed. This isn't news, it's gossip.

[–]badsparrow 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Fucking hypocrites!

[–]keyo_ 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

But that's their job to peddle scandals. They don't want someone on Facebook to take their jobs.

[–]Lukerules 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (1子コメント)

You know how they know it's a good story?

Because they know how many people are reading it. They are just catering to what readers want.

[–]badsparrow 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

You'll always be popular if you target the lowest common denominator.

[–]Bartiemus 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Can't you do them for trespassing?

[–]badsparrow 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's unlikely the press were on the property. Much more likely that they were hanging around on the footpath. So, no.

If it were me, I'd put the sprinklers down the end of the garden and turn them on.

[–]wandarah 18 ポイント19 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I think we can probably safely upgrade this one to 'A Whoopsie'

[–]MsCynical 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (1子コメント)

'A bit of a pickle'

[–]wellingtongee 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (0子コメント)

...and I would've gotten away with it if it hadn't have been for you damn kids!

[–]GunOfSod 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Perhaps the media could catch the kids on the way to school, get an on the street interview!

We might be able to get footage of them crying!

[–]smashdracs 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I am sure they tried.

[–]MrCyn 33 ポイント34 ポイント  (8子コメント)

Oh man, I thought it was a work couple who having a cheeky office fuck, and all they really had to do was show up on campbell live looking abashed but up front and all would be done.

But no. Cunts.

[–]MsCynical 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (7子コメント)

Same here! I was hoping they'd just be a bit embarrassed and everyone would move on. The poor kids who had to find out this way...

[–]badsparrow 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (6子コメント)

This is going to get confusing.

[–]MsCynical 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (5子コメント)

What is?

[–]badsparrow 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Mr and Ms Cynical.

[–]Baraka_Bama 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (3子コメント)

I saw MrCyn with SideChickCyn.

[–]badsparrow 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

He's doing quite well with the ladies apparently. What a waste!

[–]balchynz 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Ummm.....yea....not too sure you are on the right track there

[–]MsCynical 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

OH HELL NO.

[–]BadCowz 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (0子コメント)

He was not answering his work mobile yesterday and nobody was at the family home.

The Herald seriously checked that? Fork the Herald, that is tabloid shit chasing this story even further.

[–]davetenhave 22 ポイント23 ポイント  (0子コメント)

the structure of this story was puerile and is now just straight up creepy. ffs can we just leave these people alone?

[–]Miss_Meltymel 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Oh this is sad. I was just mentioning yesterday to a work mate how I hoped they were at least both single, because it would suck for the partners to find out like this. (Yes its only fair someone who cheats gets caught, but so publicly?) Man that poor woman, no one ever deserves that. I hope she has a good strong network of supportive friends and family.

[–]wookieatheart 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Would you rather she lived with a lie with a cheat though, if this was the only way she could find out?

At least their children are grown.

[–]mendopnhc 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

horrible way for it to come out though.

[–]ThaFuck 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yup. Humiliation commonly goes with being the victim of cheating. And the average Joe cheating is rarely this public. Shit sucks.

[–]ghost_slug 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Before I just thought the bar patrons were gross for filming, but it turns out everything about this "Story" is gross. This like a gossip mag

[–]BelieveItsButterDick 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (6子コメント)

Saw this coming a mile off. What a pair of utter scumbags.

[–]coppercable 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Is that pub that far from the building?

[–]Kautkto 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Directly across the road. Road is two, perhaps three lanes including the turning bay.

[–]Alexohmygollypixies 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (2子コメント)

It was the Carlton/BK wasn't it?

[–]Kautkto 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yep

[–]Orbital-NZ 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I was thinking if Calendar Girls was on to it, then they should be passing out advertisements to patrons, over the next week or so, to go see a professional show.

[–]-halcyon 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I actually felt sorry for them up until now.

Now, I'm beside myself with glee.

[–]Gyn_Nag 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (6子コメント)

More importantly, it was a manager/employee situation. Abuse of power.

[–]delQuponT 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Potentially but not necessarily. Just become a power imbalance exists does not mean it is being abused or even used.

[–]Gyn_Nag 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It has the outward appearance of being abused, and the effect can be subtle to the point of being subconscious. However I agree it's not a given.

[–]OldWolf2 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

He might have just wanted some of that hot young SMP . Reports say that he wasted no time getting his face in it.

[–]emizeko 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

SMP?

[–]SpearOfTheDragon -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (1子コメント)

As if noones ever banged someone higher up to advance their career.

[–]Gyn_Nag -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

One might argue that's an arbitrary way to curry favour, and thus detrimental to the science of management and the performance of the business overall.

[–]feint_of_heart 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I've said it before any I'll say it again now: once you've been personally involved in something the media takes interest in, you realise they are a pack of rabid assholes who'll do anything to get the story.

If you are ever in the position where a reporter starts sniffing around and asking you for information, do yourself a favour and tell them to fuck off.

[–]mendopnhc 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (2子コメント)

our media is pure gutter trash these days.

[–]whodoyoucall 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

There really isn't a whole lot going on to be fair

[–]mendopnhc 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

hmmm catton things just about done its dash, sabin shit still going.. ISIL bs.. but as far as tabloid fluff i guess not much going on

[–]Orbital-NZ 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

This week the Reporters stalk the Wife, next week it will be the divorce Lawyers.

[–]kiwisrkool -4 ポイント-3 ポイント  (8子コメント)

Is it just me, but where is the story about the pubs patrons! You know. What type if person films and uploads it, why, who etc etc. Seems we're (media) are only interested in the voyeuristic side of this story.

[–]ratatat81 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Its here.

[–]kiwisrkool -5 ポイント-4 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Sorry, opinion pieces are not news reporting (usually)

[–]ratatat81 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (3子コメント)

I wouldn't describe anything about this story as news reporting.

[–]kiwisrkool -4 ポイント-3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

True. But there is a story about the herd mentality that arose in that bar! I'd love to know what their thought process was, and also how they feel after the sad end with many lives ruined by their actions,

[–]irielife- 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

shush Pam. So never mind the people cheating, its the people filming the cheating who ruined lives? yes that makes total sense, I see it all clearly now.

[–]kiwisrkool 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

No, its the publication that ruined lives. The partners. I'm not condoning their actions, but a little thought from the bystanders and they might have realized other people lives would also be ruined

[–]theobserver_ 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

REALLY, ok then but how is it any diff of the pub people taking photos then people who take photos for all those Women Mags.

[–]kiwisrkool 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

None at all! Doesn't make it right tho, does it?
