John Laws
FOUND by Trapdoor [Mess & Light]
in Newcastle, Australia.
I found this on the 311 bus to Newcastle. Seems the author has even trimmed the bus pass' size. I agree with it though- I hate that old talkback bigot.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
I love "Finds" that teach a bit about other cultures. Apparently Australian radios don't have dials. Fascinating!
I wonder why the author spent time trimming the pass, this doesn't seem that important. maybe they were just bored.
can i get an amen?!
I don't know who John Laws is, but I'm kinda glad I'm not going to find out...
I feel the same way about John Madden (who's an announcer for football games in the U.S.)
ditto Jonathan Ross - BBC radio & tv presenter.
Oh hear, hear!
Scary thing is, how many people listen/agree with what he says. Those people are why we still have a liberal goverment. Kill them all I say!
Oh, and Jan, odd are the author wrote this while on the bus...bus drivers tend not to change radio stations on request from passengers.
Hear hear, on the elimination of Jonathan "Woss" from any and all forms of media. WHY employ a man as presenter who cannot say the letter "R"? (Obviously because he has some kind of "in.") The man is weally, weally annoying.
Just knowing that he is out there spreading his brand of bigotry is enough to make me feel ill. If I prayed I would be joining that author on my knees.
Rush Who?
Can we give a big amen that it's finally happening... All my local taxi drivers seem to have their radios permanently tuned to Lawsy.
Nasty bigoted old man
orinoco womble (a name I love to say), we have Bawbaw Waltaws on the TV in the State. Equally as annoying for similar reasons. And when he was hosting America's Got Talent, I notice Jerry Springer's got a lisp. Hire the handicapped!
"AMEN & AMEN !"
I think this person's handwriting is rather cool.
The worst is Imus. Is John Laws like Imus? If so, we can only hope he will cause his own downfall like Imus.
These talk folks annoy me, too.
But the only good thing is that often in their ignorance, my opinions on certain issues are reinforced.
So, it has the opposite effect they desire...instead of bringing me over to their side, I am further repelled.
Still, I wonder why this person wrote that on a bus pass, and then left the pass. Don't they need the pass again for later?
It looks like the note writer will get his wish soon. Apparently, John Laws is retiring and his last day on the air is November 30.
Maybe it was a daily pass. I'm with you, Lost. These guys reinforce my stand against them, but I can't stand to listen to them more than a few seconds. Sadly, for the people who CAN stand to listen, the effect seems to be to obliterate rational thought.
(I don't know John Laws, but i'm assuming he's like a Rush or a Savage in US. Hey, are those their real names?)
Hey, Jonathan, they said "bloody!" Um-m-m!
Becky in SFASU who says I don’t know who John Laws is, but I'm kind of glad I'm not going to find out... Oh contraire, pretty soon someone from Australia will give us the low down or somebody else is going Google him. Pretty soon will know what kind of underwear he wears and what he eats for breakfast. Go Jacks!
Au contraire! I love it when people speak French! It's so... chic!
you spoke french..mwa mwa mwa mwa mwaaaah
Add Tom Leykis to the disgusting radio jerks. Every time I hear him, (which is usually when some moron is listening to him at work) I wish I could shoot him in the face.
I'm a big fan of talk radio, but Leykis is a huge a-hole. If Laws is anything like Leykis, I'd rather walk than take the bus.
I and my co-workers were 'forced' to listen to the Mark Fuhrman show here in Washington state. So, sometimes turning the dial is not an option. My boss loves, loves listening to that show. Mark's show just got booted by the new station owners though. My boss is not happy.
Speaking of co-workers and forced listening, I got two words for you:
Art Fucking Bell
I can't stand the sound of Jo Whiley's voice, and she's not confined to the radio. That unsexy husk is on every other album advert on the damn telly.
In the radio biz, obnoxious sells--nice is boring. The more you hate them, the more you love to hate them.
I've always though that Leykis must laugh his his ass off all the way to the bank, laughs at all the losers who worship his ugly ass and follow his advice. If I spewed that kind of crap and people actually listened to me, and did what I said, I'd laugh at them too.

must be why i'm po'. I ain't obnoxious. (tho, i'm sure there are those who disagree. :-P )
Obnoxious? Mona Lisa? Nah.
I liked listening to George Noonan, he had crazy conspiracy theories, but he off now and the new guy just doesn’t cut it.
hmmmm sarcasm, devil? i do sense a bit of hostility there.
I fully understand the author's pain. Here in New Zealand we have Michael Laws (is that name a coincidence? I think not). Michael is an ex MP, now local mayor for Wanganui who moonlights as a right-wing, bigotted talkback host. He also appeared on the New Zealand version of Dancing with the Stars (wearing eyeliner and lycra ... God save us!). He also writes a column for the Sunday papers - so not only do we have to see him, we have to hear him and read him as well. Infuriating bastard! Whose leg is he dry humping anyway?
Oh you can read? See, you can read sarcasm in print.
oh and to our American friends, when Suse in Australia says John Laws is "why we still have a liberal goverment" she is referring to the Liberal Party (very conservative party), quite different to your meaning of liberal
I agree!!! There are some people who just shouldn't be on the radio! :P
those of us who thrive on sarcasm can sense it anywhere. Why are you so bitter, Devil?
(Probably because he's in hell, Mona Lisa.)
At least Stan Zemanek is gone… one down, a hell of a lot more radio idiots to go.
A la the Chaser song: "His views were more malignant than his brain"…
You're right Vitruvian Man. That would make someone bitter, for sure. How's my neighbour, anyway?
Doin' good. Laundry's almost done. Just stretchin' out for the evening. 8-)
I agree. There are some people who definitely should not be on radio. At least they should be confined to satellite or something so the rest of us can skip over them.
By the way, these spam protection questions are getting harder. ;D

any fans of ballykissangel?
it seems beautiful Dervla Kiwran (Assumpta Fitzgerald) started making the most vile and offensive commercials after her run on the show... she became the spokeswoman for a super fancy restaurant in the UK and in her deep, sexy voice encourages the consumption of placenta. yeah. you read that right. placenta. and she's a mom!
damn.
glad i never had to hear that.
who the hell eats placenta?
I don't know sarasara, but a dingo ate my baby.
Hey guys! I just looked him up. He's retiring THIS month!
The finder got their wish!
Clover: well, Australians say it all the bloody time.

Thank you.
I sit on buses and write my secrets on the back of bus tickets and stuff them under the seat.
Nobody has mentioned that evil c#nt, "Doctor" Laura Schessinger," who:
1)Isn't really a doctor
and
2) Doesn't practice what she preaches.
Discuss.
Well, Dr. Laura helped my dad (a violent alcoholic who terrorized me when I was growing up) so I can't say she's worthless anymore. He told me he learned from Dr. Laura that the following things had a long-term negative impact and if he could do it over again he wouldn't do these things:screaming, hitting, threatening our mother and hitting her, and violently tearing up the house. And he learned it from Dr. Laura.
The three requirements for forgiveness i learned from Dr. Laura, although I think they originate in Jewish tradition. The offender must:
1) admit doing it
2) aknowledge the pain the action caused the person
3) vow never to do it again, and then never do it again
It's not enough just to say you're sorry. I dunno, I think it's valuable advice.
Sometimes we must sort out what people say, take the good stuff, and discard the rest. I haven't listened to Dr. Laura in years. I wonder how her son turned out. She used to talk about him a lot on the radio when he was heading into adolescence. I wonder how he felt about that, being discussed in front of the whole world?
