Haha, let's play close attention to Today Tonight or A Current Affair on Monday, shall we? Given the fact that the Media is reported to lurk around these forums and all.
THAT would be damn hilarious.
I can see the story now:
Stony faced high cheek-boned reporter: "Last Friday morning thousands of young students across the state went to a Legal Studies exam, their hopes high, their futures bright. But THEN..
*cut to scene of education minister walking in slow-mo from an important looking building*
Reporter:.... they hadn't seen THIS coming
*Close up on legal studies paper with offending question highlighted*
Reporter: JUVENILE justice!
*Close up on syllabus*
Reporter: "Now as you can see, there are no provisions for this question within the Board of Studies guidelines"
*Cut to interview with raving parent*
Parent: MY CHILD'S FUTURE!! RUINED!! *SOBSOBSOB* It's just disgusting! WHERE is the justice for these young people???
Reporter: "It seems that the Board of Studies must take serious measures to see that bungles such as this.... do not happen again" *Meaningful nod*
*Cut to Naomi Robson shaking her head in dismay* "What IS the world coming to?"
as you can see i got a bit carried away in the moment there.
but you know, the media DOES exert considerable persuasive pressure and can mobilise the power of public opinion in order to seek justice for individuals and the community
and if current affairs programmes get their controversy from these forums? god damn... funny if my story outline turns up on tv in a few days time... keep a look out
