Deep Pencil - the musings of Morgan Bell

 
If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it did it really make a sound? If i post a blog and nobody reads it was there really any point? You have entered the random thinking space of Morgan Bell . . . These are my musings . . . things about my life written off the top of my head . . . written in an informal disjointed style almost completely devoid of punctuation, this is where i flesh out writing ideas, discuss my life, and generally be self indulgent . . . it is also the bargain bin for articles which do not fit in with the film or arts themes of my other blogs . . . so have a wander around my mind, have a laugh, have a think, be nice, and humour me!

Oh how I miss Kings Cross.

Seeing the Clare Werbeloff interview after the Kings Cross shooting brought all those fond memories back . . . memories of how absolutely munted people get in that unique nightlife locality.

The fat wog and the skinny wog? haha

So eloquent!

Clare is surprisingly only 19, but many people around The Cross take on that aged appearance. They have lived hard lives. Lives in the fast lane. Lives stumbling around in the parking lane.

Heres what Clare said that propelled her into internet stardom:

"There were these two wogs fighting. The fatter wog said to the skinnier wog, 'Oi bro, you slept with my cousin'. And the other one said 'Nah man, I didn't for shit, eh' and the other one goes, 'I will call on my fully sick boys, eh'. And then he pulled out a gun and went Chk Chk BOOM, and I ran away cos thats all I wanted to see."

She had the "wog" accent down, and the gun sound effects. She's going to be a star. When opportunity knocks, let's hope she doesn't need to be peeled out of the William Street gutter. She appears to be taking a potent drug cocktail of fake tan and cocaine, but that wont hurt her career, as it seems to be the winning combination for most Australian TV personalities.

Rock on Clare, you bogan!

Heard Clare interviewed last night - and in the face of the notority/fame - whatever you'd like to call it - what was her biggest regret?

. . . yep, that normally she'd be wearing her hair up and not in a pony tail - how embarrassing!

Says something really . . .

hi MNG,

its important to look your best when you are acting insane, its always been my motto, its a cornerstone of bogan theory haha

i like how she doesnt regret calling people "wogs" on tv, or being insensitive to the dead, or going out in public with a tandoori tan, or hanging out a a tattoo parlour, or being familiar with all the strip joints

It just goes to show that being in the right place at the right time is what fame is all about. It will be interesting to see if it goes beyond the 5 minutes of fame and leads to something bigger.

As the whole thing turned out to be a hoax and she actually didn't witness anything at all, I am surprised Clare didn't get charged with causing a public mischief or something.

hi Janet,

i saw the interview she did where she said she lied about witnessing it and wished to recant her story, but then i saw a respected journalist (i think it was Peter Harvey) saying he thought she probably did see it and was just scared when she got so much media attention that the gunman may seek revenge

i know she seems like a bit of a dipstick, but you know when you get interviewed at the scene you dont even know what parts of what you say (if anything) will be aired

its clear she didnt understand the seriousness of the situation either way

well she got a novelty t-shirt line out of it at least

hi Peter Yang,

hi Jeff,

i saw a Louis Theroux doco on crime in Philadelphia called "Killadelphia" the other night - i think our mate Clare here has a few American cousins




hi Wilson,

well Australians do like real crime dramas, if she ends up in witness protection she could win a logie . . . actually she looks a bit like the actress who played Roberta in Underbelly




hi Jason,

now should she be on The Simpsons because she seems like a parody of herself and she says unpredictable things? or should she be on The Simpsons due to her yellow-orange complexion?

This chick is getting WAAYYY too much attention. She's a media slut through and through, no matter how much she denies it. And cos she's pretty and photogenic, and assertive, she'll get her own damn show. Just wait. Andy Warhol's 15 mins of fame strikes again.

hi Queenie,

her remarks were racist, but as for her talents, well im yet to see what she can do with a pole, i have a sneaking suspicion she may have a streak of "burlesque" in her

she could be the next (racist) Pussy Cat Doll, or maybe she could appear on Dancing With The Stars . . . they allowed Pauline Hanson on there

There was no-one else there, just my friend and I and the two bank robbers. ?They got in their car and left, we got in our car and left. We told my friend's mum about it and I think she told the cops. That was it.

In the seventies life was very, very different. Girls didn't stand around saying Oh My God, Oh My God. They just got on with doing stuff.

Well I did anyway. I used to be so boring.

What irks me most is her "plan" worked ... Did you know t-shirts with "Fully Sick Chk Chk Boom" printed on them were available for sale online 24 hours after the clip first aired?!!?!

Perhaps I'm just jealous I didn't think of such a novel way of becoming famous. I've been on the news though ... when the thieves blew up the Clovelly Bendigo bank ATM, twice in one day (smh.com.au and Channel 9 news), but everything I told was the truth and none of it was either politically incorrect or used onomatopoeia. Boring.

I hope she does get on Getaway and talks in that cute westie accent. I find it endearing

yes it is unacceptable that people still resort to onomatopoeia in this day and age

imagine if she orchestrated a fat and skinny "wog" having a gun battle and then chased down nearby television crews just so she could get her new slogan off the ground?

hi Cheryl,

ill give her the benefit of the doubt and say she was clearly under the influence, and she was possibly in shock

i dont think anything she said warrants her being given a television job, but she may have gotten it purely on her looks, how many models and actors get disovered that way, just walking through their local shopping centre or working at a Dairy Queen?

i think its more about the vanity of producers and agents etc than it is about the content of her ground-breakingly stupid statements




hi Probably Sucks,

yes it is a bit of the Corey Delaney syndrome . . . i think the aussie public want to see more of these people in the hope that they will say something else stupid or embarrassing or offensive . . . Sam Newman has made a career out of it!

maybe they need to bring Big Brother back so the craving for idiocy can be concentrated into one hour on one station, and all the potential housemates arent out in the real world grabbing headlines?




hi Tracy,

i kind of believe her original story, i think she may had taken liberties with the actual dialogue of the "wog" conversation preceding the shooting, but i do think she saw the altercation . . . just my own personal opinion




hi Bryn,

i havent read about the channel 9 job, but ill take Cheryls word for it

jealousy is a curse, dont go too green! haha




hi Someone,

i dont hate her, i think shes amusing and not very self-aware . . . its like watching someone slipping over on Funniest Home Videos, you just want to replay it over and over . . . oh hang on, there could be a job for her, Toni Pearen and Jo Beth Taylor werent exactly the brightest sparks

As Brando so eloquently quoted Joseph Conrad "The horror, the horror ..."

Daily Telegraph: always a source for the truth that hurts.

(Just quietly: I'm slutted with myself for getting so involved with this shenanigan already ... The more time I give it, the more slutted I become.)

I don't agree with people becoming celebrities for nothing. One reason I don't like Big Brother and other similar reality tv shows where they somehow become celebrities for pretty much just sitting around and being 'characters'

But if the media likes it that way. So be it.

I really can't see what the fuss is all about. That is all. It's not even like she did any great but make a false statement....

So how should I plan MY big break then? Maybe I should hang out near the media a lot more.

hi Bryn,

i like the way you are using the word slutted

we have enjoyed having you participate in the shenanigan, it wouldnt be the same without you





hi Amy,

its quite common nowadays, people becoming famous for nothing, or for trashy behaviour, look at Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan . . . some people enter the spotlight because of some talent (like singing or acting) but what keeps them in the spotlight is their drunken benders and flings, it seems it is just the way of the world

i think idiocy is glorified because of some perception that it shows celebs are human and just like us

although becoming a celeb solely by being an idiot is definitely a phenomena that is on the rise

if you are ever interviewed at the scene of a crime make sure you say or do something outrageous and then cash in on it as quickly as possible

thanks for your comment

hi Cibbuano,

yeah i thought she was pretty funny too, but i may have been laughing at her and not with her

she was interviewed later and said she never saw a thing and made it all up, but i personally dont believe that, i think shes just trying to distance herself from the crime

One thing I found hypocritical about the whole thing: she utters the word wog, and she is labelled racist. You and others call her a bogan, and it is justified.

Bogan. Redneck. Labels placed on people, by people who supposedly stand for equality, but are as motivated by race and class, if not more so, than the people they criticize.

hi Anonymous,

well the difference is that "wog" is a racial remark, and "bogan" is a label that does not specify race

i actually am a bogan, so i feel justified in identifying other bogans as i see fit

the words "bogan" and "redneck" are not synonymous, the latter is american slang referring to a specific region of the country, we dont use that word for australians

a "bogan" is simply a human being who acts with no class, it has no racial connotation, bogans come from every ethnicity, creed, and colour . . . out in western sydney young male bogans are sometimes called "lads", in newcastle female bogans are "slappers" or "bushpigs" . . . see also "dero"
