But seriously, Bust has a good take on the default sexism of the marketing presentation so far.
Although the dude does seem to have The Lovely Bones on his ibookshelf. Maybe it's his wife's ...

It's like they all want to be a bit of everything, but not all of everything, because god forbid you shouldn't have to buy at least five different ultraportable devices. Which then taken all together make a bundle, of course.
What can he sell you next year if one device does everything?

This is about the fourth recommendation of Hilary Mantel I've come across this month.
Haven't read Wolf Hall yet but will throw in a recommendation for Beyond Black.

I definitely think they should make a movie about Stephen Hawking while he could still do it himself.
A Brief History of Time by Errol Morris.

Is it more porn than a discussion with a clothed porn star about her breasts?
It was a bit more than a discussion. They have her walk down Queen St and encourage passers by to grope her.
Is a discussion with a porn star about anything automatically porn?
A discussion about an "experimental" medical procedure that has given her a porn gimmick is porn, sure.

I hasten to add, I have no problem with breasts.
It was the idea that bare breasts on a beach were somehow more "porn" than actual porn stars that got me.
I think there are degrees of interrupting and times when it seems most called for (pollies, usually).
Somewhere online there's a clip of Jeremy Paxman asking some Conservative politician the same question about 12 or 13 times. Turns into absurdist theatre at that point.

Personally, I hope Campbell Live survives, but not if it's going to go all tits and arse – if I want porn, have no fear, I know where to get it.
Perhaps on Close Up, which had the porn star with the world's biggest breasts last year -- a story 20 times worse than anything on Campbell Live last night.

I'm not sure how much of it is scripted, but the timing suggests very little, and they are sure quick off the mark. And the kids drawings are priceless.
A lot of it is about the editing. They film about two hours on the Thursday and edit it to 23 minutes on the Friday. But it looks pretty seamless.

How soon before someone says "Moby Dick"?
