Celebrity Criminals
Published 1 year, 11 months ago in My life.I have just seen an ad for the latest Woman’s Day.
My estimation of this magazine has soared to new heights!
Renae Lawrence of Bali Nine fame and Shapelle Corby are featured having a public spat ( probably over what is more stupid; trying to smuggle drugs out of Indonesia or trying to smuggle drugs into Indonesia!).
Woman’s Day has turned two convicted drug smugglers into celebrities! I love it!
We have become so familiar with these two that WD simply refers to them as Renae and Shapelle!
It is a brilliant ploy to sell more magazines.
I think that TV networks should not be slow to jump on this hitherto untapped source of celebrity. It could give rise to a whole new crop of ratings winners, such as “Dancing Behind Bars” in which our celebrity crimminals are teamed up with career crimminals and each week the couple with least votes gets executed.
Or how about “Putaway” in which Catriona Rowntree takes us on a wonderful journey to the worlds most exotic and luxurious prisons.
What about Torvill and Deans Dancing On Ice or Heroin or Dope?
Jamie Oliver could do a new series called “Prison Dinners” or open a restaurant in a Bali Jail called “Nine”
The possibilities are endless, such as “Life Begins”, “Prison Break”, “The QC” and my personal favourite “So You Think You Can Smuggle Drugs And Get Away With It?”
Or how is this for an idea, we take all our celebrity criminals and lock them up together in an isolated location. They have no contact with the outside world and their every move is scrutinized. They have nothing to do but talk about themselves and back stab each other…. hang on a sec I think that has already been done!

Hehehe… funny post.
what a great idea. Maybe you should pitch it to the tv stations after all maybe Eddie everywhere could host it from different tropical locations. you could expand your theme and have it as survivor type special but in all the worst jails in the world.
That’s brilliant!! XD
… Heh, I guess we Aussies have always liked our criminals, e.g. Ned Kelly, Chopper Read…
You deserve an iPod for this brilliant post. I don’t know what you do for a living, but I think your talents could be wasted. You have some top ideas for some new reality t.v. shows (and let’s face it, we can NEVER get enough of those). If you could find a really overweight crook to host the show, you could get them to utter that fabulous phrase, “It’s now time to cut the fat”.
Winning an iPod is all about random selection. Even if your post was brilliant & witty
So many things in this life are about random selection! I was randomly selected for an iPod in the first round.
