She's lucky I'm polite, or I might have told her where to go.

Give me old ladies over Gen Y any day. At least old ladies know some things.

Seriously, this is how petty it was.
When photos are sent in to us, we attribute them thus - Photo: Supplied
On this occasion, by a sheer mistake, our photographer's name was attributed.
This woman rings me up, aggressively and patronisingly lectures me, talks about suing and then wants me to correct it.
Her bloody name would never have been on the thing in the first place! She's complaining that 'Supplied' wasn't there.
Seriously...

No, after asking me what I was going to do, without giving me a chance to reply, she said: "My name is spelt ........., the correct way."
I am tempted to, however, just leave it as, "The attribution should have read “Supplied”.

I nearly asked her if she'd seen our front page this week.

She did talk legals - breach of copyright. "You of all people should know...."

She has a fair point there, media outlets are quick to play the litigation card despite being more deserved of it themselves.

Pfft. Tell her it'll cost her $1200 to fire the first shot over the bow in the federal court, she'll soon go back into her shell.

In my experience, the public is very quick to throw the "I'll sue..." or "legal" line around - I get it at least once a week, with no basis in fact. This is just another of those times.

The news beat up around Sam Thaiday saying last nights SOO game was like losing your virginity.
If that offends you, it's time to give up all media outlets and go live in solitude.

Yes, if some people are easily offended by something as trivial as that they better not listen to any music on the radio.

I find most of todays music on the radio more offensive than Louis CK talking about under age sex. Thaiday was quite humorous I thought.
