Lol Mark Howard has just had to read a press release about it on air about how 'Mel is an utmost professional' and Gayle comments were 'unnecessary and inappropriate' and that 'it's not what Channel 10 are about'.

I laughed so hard when Howard started reading that scripted response. Weren't the commentators all laughing at the time?

Ten want to sell the BBL as family entertainment. Its probably not quite the image they want to have a star player hitting on a journalist even if its not really a big deal.

Yeah it was embarrassing that they tried to disguise it as not being a statement. They thought it was hilarious, and being normal blokes they probably still do.

what has happened to Australia

Tv shows such as The Paul Hogan Show, Kingswood Country, Benny Hill, Married With Children, Fast Forward, Full Frontal etc. would never be re-produced these days with all the political correctness rubbish that has infiltrated society. It would take just one person to complain over a miniscule thing and the show would be hooked quicker than the late-Kerry Packer would say "Get this shit off the air!"

There is plenty of edgy comedy made now days. The difference being that none of those shows try and sell themselves as wholesome family entertainment.

Lets not get too hysterical folks.

Chris Gayle working more of his 'magic' with the ladies. Looks like he's taken some lessons from the master Sir Viv on how to speak with the smooth, "I'm cool mahn" tones:

Yep, the person running the twitter account thought it was funny, the higher ups weren't too keen on it being promoted by ten.

As I said its not a big deal but I can certainly understand why ten think its bad optics (ugh) to have a player hit on a journo and make her visibly uncomfortable.

8am on OneHD tomorrow

Btw, I had no idea that the matches were replayed until you mentioned it, and decided to look it up in the tv guide

Yep. It's great. Bet mel and Chris are snipped though lol.

Good for the kids who fall asleep before the end too.
