Greer Pulls out

2005-01-12 15:17:25.379664+01 by petronius 0 comments

This just in: as a followup to my item from a few days ago that feminist icon Germaine Greer was joining the UK Celebrity Big Brother cast, she has apparently packed and left. She was shocked, shocked to find that the other contestants had their "own agendas", and was distrubed for Bridget Neilsen who discovered that her harridan ex-mother-in-law, Jackie Stallone, had been added to the cast. Greer felt this was just to generate "Tabloid sludge", forgetting the Neilsen IS tabloid sludge. Greer was also disturbed that she failed in an attempt to stage a job action against the producer by having everyone take off their microphones. She is, however, still in negotiation over her appearance fee. It is hoped that when next she agrees to join popular culture she will at least watch the program first.
