On the Pulse thinks Barnaby Joyce should be this week's big winner of the On the Pulse Yay For the Day award. That last episode of the Pistol and Boo saga was just a ripper, and going off like a frog in a sock was undoubtedly its natural fate.
Now, On the Pulse tends to floats along within the world war of reality TV shows, where reality is quite often the first casualty, and Hollywood mega movies, which have a tendency to treat reality with the same neglect and tendency not to let the truth get in the way of a good story.
But Australia’s quarantine laws are not in place to entertain or lift ratings, even though they may have done so for BJ in this case. They are there to keep the nasties out.
BJ’s reality was that anything with the potential to lose this country billions in agricultural exports is against the law.
In the real world, if you don’t abide by foreign laws, you get to record a shabby, dismal apology of sorts that some directors of future mega movies might see, and decide it might be better not to offer you a role or two.
And that’s the reason why BJ gets On the Pulse’s yay for the day.
On the Pulse feels his contribution to reducing the possibility of more train wreck movies being made about Caribbean pirates or lone Texas rangers, deserves to be recognised.
Popular drink
On the Pulse was in a supermarket the other day, just dawdling up and down the aisles, while absently wondering if it could eat all that food before the use by date ran out, when a massive, dazzling display stopped it dead in its tracks.
On the Pulse instantly recognised the exhibition as a de stijl masterpiece, that even those old masters, Theo van Doesburg and Piet Mondrian, would have been exceptionally proud.
Such was the bottled water display!
Bit far over the top, you say? Well, perhaps, but at least it gives you something else to Google.
Nevertheless, you may be interested to know that that water aisle gets heaps of attention. Last year 5.3 million Australians drank bottled water in any given week, and that was up 400,000 on the year before.
Some consider it healthy, some consider it an outrage and some don’t really care because they just go to a tap.
