Ah, the jokes are getting lamer..........
Nothing in this but a bit of Pies bashing. Suprised Ed was involved.
Ed. we are not amused.

Just a joke Marg.
if anyone was in real trouble with the police, I doubt they would take that person to a TV studio.

Nah, I think it was true. A taxi driver probably could not get any sense out of him, so they took him to a police station. The police would have locked him out for his own safety. Once he had sobered up, for a laugh, they dropped him off at channel nine. They had the decency to let him put his head on before going on. Underneath that head, presumably, was a very hungover magpie.

Rule 1. Barrack for Collingwood
Rule 2. See rule 1.
Rule 3. There is no rule 3.

CARN DE PIES!

i thought it was bloody hilarious. especially when the guy inside the mascot actually replied to one of the questions...it just looked ridiculous, this big magpie head talking.

I dont know what it was about.
But it was fair dinkum, I caught a glimpse of police carrying a magpie mascot out of some place on the news. Saying something about lost and found.

Guys, Guys....how can you be sucked in by this?
Yes, the suits wearer was asleep in the back of a taxi. No, he was not arrested and neither was our mighty magpie.
The whole thing is a media beat up, sure the "inside" guy disgraced the suit, but when that was known, the sunday footy show made a bit of fun from it. Was it shown on any station bar 9? No. Was it in the newspapers? No. Would Ch.7 have loved another opportunity to stick it to Ed? Yes, if it wrer true. Would Caroline Wilson not have screamed it from the Ages front page? Yes. If it were true.

More publicity for CFC. Don't we just love it!
