#wigglette

I have to admit, this morning when I saw the Daily Telegraph I was extremely disappointed with the article that graced its front page. Please tell me, was today such a slow news day that this is all they could scrape together?

Don’t you think it’s insulting that the editors of ‘Sydney’s Biggest Selling Newspaper’ believes the majority of its readership would find an article about a female joining the Wiggles is worthy of the front page? Or that the Wiggles sex change was so important it needed to take up the majority of the page, leaving a small strip at the bottom for a story about refugees?

Maybe I’m being a little harsh here but I’m sure the majority of readers this morning flipped straight past this article, as I did. It baffles me how a story like this is considered so important and topical it gets prime position, yet there are many more stories which should take its place.

But before I wrap up my Friday rant, I just wanted to touch on the headline: WIGGLETTE. It would be very easy to get ‘Wigglette’ confused with “Wigglet”. If you don’t know what that means you can educate yourself at Urban Dictionary – let’s just say it’s not a term you want to associate with little kids.

Finally let’s hope they don’t resort to renaming the group ‘The Wigglette’s”, it makes me instantly think of 4 piglets dancing in different coloured skivvies.
