Never watched Underbelly and dont plan to. My brother idolises Ned Kelly and always craps on about how he was wrongly accused, etc. As for Chopper, I read his books and liked em, and thought the Chopper movie really good, but thats as far as it goes.

I don't think Underbelly is about idolizing the likes of The Morans & Carl Williams. It's a some what riveting story, especially the first series, and especially for Victorians.
Again, I think it comes down to Reid transforming himself into a media personality.
But the people likely to idolize and identify with Reid and Kelly are usually the same idiots who get Southern Cross tattoos.

I think that the only person who was not glorified in that series was Carl Williams. Look at the way Gangitano was portrayed. |

In fact, the way Benji was portrayed I felt was way, way off the mark. They made him look like a good little boy, a nice kid who just happened to be handy with a pistol. |

I never met him, so other than how the media portrayed him, I don't know how accurate it was. The Morans, however, one I never saw anything good from, and one I never saw anything bad from. |

Why you'd waste your time on an iphone is beyond me. Cause I really dislike android. Really, that phone did change the world. We do things differently because that phone was invented. I'm keen to see which is the next revolutionary thing to change the way we do things. |

Very similar technology will be the next step I gather. Then you think about the technology displayed using the Xbox Kenict, combine all that and you've got about 5% the technology of Ironman. |

I tried to like it when I bought my Nexus 7 tablet, but I just don't like the way it all works. At least it's given choice. Before andriod there was nothing to compare an iPhone to. |

She was shit scared all through that interview and I don't blame her. It's quite amazing to me, the guy didn't see himself as a bad guy. I'd say that's the markings of a great heel but that's probably inappropriate. Whilst I enjoy reading true crime, I can't say I ever idolised Chopper, or his contemporaries. The social media statuses when the guy died was a pretty sad indication on society IMO. But, I watched it, so maybe I'm a hypocrite. |
