Your going to have mixed opinions on it, Paddy living in a bungalow down in a field in West Field Farm is going to find it a bit funnier than Maxwell who is living in an apartment in South Dublin and who works in graphic design for Stellar magazine

A disproportionate amount of people's attention is being diverted down this harmless and pointless avenue of debate while Rome burns. No wonder the politicians are jumping on to this. Did not say that boy racers or whoever they are getting weren't worthy of ridicule though.

I don't think this would make it on to any UK or european TV networks as they have something even RTE lack - a code of respect. In the end it makes Limerick the laughing stock of the nation and Willie O' Dea is a spineless opportunist. To those who think its 'great craic' try arguing that at your next job inteview and see your career slide down the toilet. I despair of this country.

Apart from that, what is to stop someone having loads of friends on facebook, a few drinks at the weekend, watching a tv show and still addressing the current issues. In your strange surreal world does having a laugh stop people from doing anything else? You must be a very bitter, depressed person.

I generally make an effort to surround myself with intelligent, positive people, so a good deal of the time I’m walking around happily viewing the world through a set of rose-tinted glasses. A brief listen to Joe Duffy and his baying mob will temporarily shatter the lenses and reveal the dark undercurrent of unfathomable idiocy that exists in the world more than seven hours perusing Youtube comments ever could. “Turning on ‘Anthony from Limerick’ who had been leading the attack on O’Dea, Blindboy said, “Someone needs to give that man a dictionary and show him the definition of the word irony.”” You can ****ing sing that. A lack of the mentioned coupled with a complete abscence of any shred of intellect is one of the most dangerous combinations I can think of.

At times I was wondering if it was a set up by the RB it went so well. Even Joe seemed amused at the end of it.
