At 11.45 this morning Dustin the Turkey issued the following statement in
relation to his position regarding tonight's Late Late Toy Show.

"It is with great sadness that I must inform the nation's children that it
now looks highly unlikely that I will be appearing on tonight's Late Late
Toy Show. As many of my fans know I wanted to use the opportunity to extend
the wing of friendship to the broadcasting genius that is Pat Kenny. Much
has been made in the past of my relationship with Pat, with some people in
the media implying that I've said negative things abouthim, that simply
isn't the case, I love Pat and think the country and indeed the world would
be a far poorer place without him.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my millions of fans who've sent
messages of support to me over this very trying week. I'd also like to urge
these fans NOT to email Pat at latelate@rte.ie or indeed call RTE on 2083111
venting their understandable anger. We must except the fact that Pat and the
Late Late team are far wiser then us and have made their decision safe in
the knowledge that the Toy Show will be better without me. Who are we to
question such logic?

Of course I will leave my mobile on right up to 11.30 should Pat change his
mind.

May God bless you all and keep you safe.

Dustin.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!! All the little fecking kiddies that are going to try ring that number and end up getting through to me saying (in their little tinny voices) "Bring Dusty back yis feckers...!".

NO NO NO NO NO....

(For clarification, I work across the road from RTE and we have about 30,000 numbers, all beginning with 20. The amount of people we get looking for RTE is phenomenal. My life is going to be hell if people see this.)

Does the email work though?

I'm ghoing to post that up (minus the phone number) on our college boards...nothing like a bunch of sentimental students to get the spam flowing.

duh yourself, it now looks like he is *not* going to be on the show at all and instead is due to appear on the (Last) Last word with Dunphy

As reported in some papers Pat Kenny doesnt want him on as he will get a slagging!

Dustin the Turkey is an Irish institution(well,more like St Pats Institution anyway as he would no doubt say:D ).But he is sort of an Irish tv legend-a whole generation grew up with him.If it were not for him no children would not realise that there are such things as brown envelopes and Fianna Fail corruption and therefore would only become loyal members of Ogra Fianna Fail:eek: :eek:
Anyway,Dustin hasnt been allowed on the toy show in years AFAIK so why all the fuss this year?

Email sent because I'm such a softie.

Missed Dustin on the Dunphy show, purely because I got out of the car and just plain forgot about it (I did notice him sucking up to Shane Ross quite a bit though ("Oh, yes Senator, three bags Senator? You'll be coming back on later Senator?"). Thought they'd almost be drinking buddies after getting burned by Eircom shares.

Toy show is on a bit early this year, yeah. I gather they've finally twigged that when it was on in the past, most kids had already decided what they wanted from the fat man. Massive advertising income from the toy show and all that (earlier=companies prepared to pay that little bit extra so every little girl wants a big yellow teapot or whatever it is this year)

Watched the show for 15 minutes... as awful as usual. Did we really enjoy it when we were young?

Did Dustin show?

Gay Byrne just can't be replaced in that show, he had great charisma and really seemed to connect with the kids. Pat looked like he was forcing it, and it wasn't very convincing. I'm rather disgusted that Dustin never popped in. There goes another tradition:(

Is Kevo that Dub who seems to have been on every RTE kids show since he was about 7?He used to do that Network 2 show on the weekend in the morning with the really loud voiced cork woman(the disney show or something similiar).Am I on about the right dude?
But sure as I have said Dustin hasnt shown up in years-why all the fuss this year?
I remember when I was a kid it would be good till about 11:15-then the remainder would be taken up of rather camp dance performances by kids from those stage schools.TBH I dont thinki they should ever have that kind of thing.I quote Dara O brian
"Dya remember when we were kids watching the Toy Show?Kids hate other kids with talent.So when Gaybo would say"Right thats enough toys until after the break.Now let us introduce Irelands most talented 10 year old piano player Mary from Cork"we would all be shouting"Get that precocious bitch and her piano off the tv and show me some toys!!!"

Too damn right.

Even last night I was screaming at the TV, f-ing and blinding at the smug little fúckers.

And who the christ dressed up that poor little bastérd for the Dance-Dance Revolution PS2 thing?
What a bloody waste of a loively flatscreen telly.

Should've had a beast of a PC playing UT2003/Q3/Flashpoint/TuxRacer on a projector.

And they always get a good mix of totally normal, shy quiet kiddies and the little loud cheeky boisterous little rug rat bastérds too.
A hex on their parents, spoiling them....

EndRant();

jeebus that felt better, years of vice and repulsion relieved with one post.
Where'd I be without boards?

Anyone spot that it was the dirty (dance) version of Eminem's song "without me" that was played for some little twits dance ??
Typical RTE !
I'm not goin' to post the lyrics, but they are easily findable on google.

Dustin should be made permanent host of the late late show, he has more charisma than Pat Kenny FFS.

Watched the repeat this afternoon.Had to laugh when that kid of about 8 was breakdancing to the dance remix of Without Me,complete with the words tits,cum an f`uck on a childrens programme:D That is what I love about RTE,they do not seem to have a clue about how to go about editing anything,which has its advantages as we get to see unedited Simpsons:)
Anyway,there was alot of stuff done on it by these kids that they will wish never happened when they reach about 14.
And did you notice Pat kept referring to the Homer Simpson doll as Bart?Ah jaysus!:rolleyes:
I havnt seen Kevo in years but presumbly the fact he is over 100 years old is beginning to eradicate his youthful performances on tv.His appearences were bleedin rapid!:D

i heard that this afternoon (it was on in the background) and i heard the words **** You Debbie. i thought they would have edited it at least for the afternoon showing. that young fella was a pompous little gimp anyway. then TV3 showed a woman have a bath. they showed her tits on afternoon telly. the country's gone mad. there must be no editing suites at our national broadcasters. editing is evil anyway

Anyway,Ive never seen anything at all edited on Irish tv no matter what time of day it is.I remember once when Charlie Bird was covering a taxi drivers march in Dublin,the 6 o clock news showed a clip where some drivers who for whatever didnt like his style of presenting threatened"to shove that fookin furry microphone up yer fookin hole"or words to that effect.(this being the same channel which now rates programmes according to content,ignoring the fact 95% of viewers wonder why letters like YA and MA appear at the start of programmes.)
In England if somebody says"crap" on tv before 9 o clock it is consdiered a big deal.Seriously-several people often complain when people say words like that on kids shows like CD:UK or whatever.
I love this country-it doesnt have as many people who are horrified by pre watershed swearing.And RTE doesnt take any notice to anybody who complains:)
