You're too twisted by half

Dear "Celebrity Agent",

I know it's really hard to get publicity for no good reason, and you and your mates spend a lot of time developing marketing strategies for your A-List clients.

But really, did you think that "David Hicks is so hott right now" is an appropriate sentiment to share with a journalist?

Do you think that speculating about the financial outcomes for a man who has been incarcerated in one of the best-known, government-approved hell-holes is an appropriate way to use your media capital?

Of course this speculation comes on the heels of your full support of Hicks' human rights, doesn't it? And your deep concern for his welfare, expressed continually on the society pages of the SMH and Daily Telegraph? Yes? YES?

No. I thought not.

Love,

Gigglewick


PS Have I mentioned that you're peddling some outdated and misogynist views about women and what they represent in politics? If you think that the policy and strategy skillz of Ms. Gillard and McKew can be boiled down to them looking good in matching wonder woman outfits, or that this will result in even one single vote, then you really should stay out of the sun. Perhaps a Brian Burke style panama is in order?

When you're ready to suggest a make-over for the more sartorially challenged male politicians of the world (more than a few of them could do with some cosmetic dentistry, but I don't see that taking up 20 column inches in the opinion pages) come back and see me. In the meantime, please shut up.
