Today Josh Laird refused to buy his young son Henry a $22 showbag at this year’s Royal Easter show. “Those bags are a huge waste of money,” he told his son before attempting to leave the event. “Plus, you’re massively addicted to sugar.” But the son reportedly put up a fight, saying he refused to leave until his father purchased the Cadbury showbag for him. “C’mon son, show some restraint will you,” replied the father. “There…

Regulators force ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here’ to be renamed; ‘Get Me Out Of Here’

HARSH REALITY: Television regulators have forced the long-running reality show ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here’ to change its name. After the premier episode of the 2024 season aired last night, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has demanded the word ‘Celebrity’ be removed from the show’s title. “We find using the word ‘celebrity’ amounts to misleading and deceptive conduct,” says the ACCC’s Megan Tilly. “Apart from Frankie Muniz, basically all of the contestants are little known influencers or recycled reality TV contestants.” “In fact, none of them have any idea who anyone else on the show is,…

DATE NIGHT: A local man has once again reaffirmed his lacklustre approach toward romance, and his strong opposition to Valentine’s Day. “It’s all just marketing rubbish,” Max Weiner tells his wife every year. “I would never show love for you just because the calendar says it’s a certain date.” However his wife has told DBT he never shows love at any other times either. “In our early years of dating he used to take me to McDonalds on my birthday, but now even that’s dropped off,” she says.

LOVE LANGUAGE: A local man says his marriage has been strengthened by a Valentine’s Day card, written by artificial intelligence. “I used ChatGPT to write the card because I was really in need of some fresh content,” says Lyle Tanner. “We’ve been married for six years so all this lovey dovey stuff has been said so many times before.” The 35 year old asked the AI chat bot to write a 250 word message, but he told his wife he wrote it himself.

PHOTO CHALLENGED: Men on MAFS are still struggling to comprehend a fundamental rule of the show’s photo task, in which the cast are asked to rank other cast members of the opposite sex, in order of physical attractiveness. “After ten seasons of the show, you’d think they’d have worked it out by now,” MAFS expert John Aiken told DBT. “In reality the photo task is not an attractiveness test,” “It’s an IQ test, and year after year men fail dismally.” Last night saw MAFS cast member Richard become the latest groom to fail the test, ranking his wife equal third,…

New calls to change the Australia Day date to when Scott Morrison reportedly shat himself at Engadine Maccas

SHIT IDEA: In the absence of any obvious date to change Australia Day to, a group of activists say it should be the day Scott Morrison allegedly shat himself at Engadine McDonald’s. Whether it’s true or not, the rumour is that on the 20th of September 1997, the former PM soiled his pants after the Cronulla Sharks lost the NRL grand final. “What a perfect day for Australia Day,” said one activist. “And it would be a perfect excuse to go to Maccas!” Engadine McDonald’s says it supports the proposed new date. “We’d be flattered to be a part of…
