Schapelle Corby, why so much interest ?

[Maka]

I wonder what extent she'll get gagged now she'll be let out & i wonder if the proceeds of crime laws here wont stop her from telling her "true" story over there. She did her time & survived but what i hate about crims is they aint got enough balls to admit what they did & the media perpatuate a perception for there own gain.

cheers, Maka

[Raysie]

CH9 would have a vested interested seeing as they have that drama movie/show airing on Sunday. I think they had their whole news crew in Indonesia last night to report on a 40sec press conference.

I couldn't give a rats about what's going on personally. We all know she's going to become an overnight millionaire when she returns to Australia with her 60 Minutes interview and ZOO Magazine appearances...

[superyob]

Why the interest? I have no idea. But Monty Python's legendary insult of 'empty headed food trough wipers whose mothers were hamsters and whose fathers smelt of elderberries' has an apt application somewhere in this moronic media generated circus...

Can someone please explain to me why there is so much media interest in this woman ?? I think the first comment in the link sums it up pretty well...........

The whole family are scum bags .It is all about money now .Make as much as they can selling their story. She hasn't spent enough time in goal ,the law in Indonesia is tough that's where she committed the crime .All the do gooders saying she has spent enough time in goal, bullshit drug dealers and couriers are the lowest of low.

Make sure she brings her body board bag for some after dinner treats for you both.
Then off to Sam Suraces private property for some skids with the kids.

[zilo]

Only one thing that bothers me.....what if she really is innocent?

I guess we'll see what story she comes up with when the $$ millions start rolling in...

[Syndrome]

She is a convicted drug smuggler. However I believe she has spent enough time in gaol as cannabis is a 'soft' drug (not that I condone using it).

I would chong a few bongs down in a private love dome with her

Have a hell of a story to tell, and no doubt more hangups than a clothes rack at target

Her / her familys only **** up is, they should have had money ready to rock, cash greases the wheels of corruption

She isnt.

[supershifty]

Boogie boards weigh sfa - surely you'd notice an extra 4.5kg in the sack and think something's wrong. Also, why take a boogie board to Bali? ffs there's heaps of them in Bali, rather like taking a ghetto blaster to a nightclub.

She's guilty as hell - suffer it out and suck it up girl.

Cheers!

[FPVS3]

As schapelle (and her family) would say....."I didn't done it"!

[1967xrute]

At 50 bucks for a gram of good weed in Bali ten years ago she was going to make 200k for her efforts. Guilty as hell.

[GTJOHN]

This whole thing has become a Boring Farcical Joke, Yes she has done the time, but why are we glorifying her ???... There are many other albeit less attractive Aussies rotting in overseas Jails and they do not get all the media Hype.. Yes let her free, but please media lets STOP trying to shove her down our throats..Lots more important news around that dosent involve making hero's or celebrities of Criminals

Remember Black Saturday...not some drug smuggler who got caught and paid the price.

Then again, we made a "national hero" out of Ned Kelly, a common horse thief and wantonly cruel cop killer who got what he so richly deserved...no idea why we do that either...

Mr Kelly and his family were quite harshly treated by corrupt police. He did retaliate a little bit much though. Like in these days, police raping women still occurs, but the police can never be wrong.

Wrongdoers deserve whatever sentence or treatment they get. If someone responds to what anyone else did first, then so be it.

Yes the problem is that some people over react, and also there are the wrongly accused.
We have progressed a long way since the colonial days, but in some ways the perpetrators are still the same, they just hide behind so called laws, and are no longer scared of their victims 'getting them back'.

I have no interest in Miss Corby. More drug smugglers need to be put to death. So do rapists, especially if they are police members. Curbing any chance of re-offence, and maybe a heavy deterrent for others to do the same crime.

Oh yeah, there is no doubt the media are the scum of the earth..I hate them as much as property developers. But as you all know, this pathetic saga is going to go on for months..'Our Shchapelle, little Aussie battler arrives home' and all the rest of it!

[xwgs302]

I had a chat to a Fed in organized crime not long after she was busted and he told me they had a watch on her as she had done it twice previously... Her buddy baggage handler wasn't there to slip her through the last time.
So, If what he told me was true, i wonder if it was us that actually tipped them off...

As for the media, perfect time to introduce a few more new laws "to protect us" while we are being distracted with news about idiots.

[nuthin' fancy]

There is something about her, though. That 'little girl lost look' she has (and 9 years as a round-eye in an Indonesian Prison would leave you lost) makes you want to look.

Innocent/guilty? Doesn't matter now, she's had 10 years in jail.

I suspect either the family themselves are very canny media feeders or they are getting very good advice. No doubt they will make mega bucks over the next few years as they milk the media for all they are worth.

[H.G]

shes the new lindi chamberlain of the media.. its going to be decades before we stop hearing about her.

[XR6T0Y]

Why does ACA run car 'enthusiast' stories all the time? She's the "in" thing

[Road Games]

Who ???

[nstg8a]

Another side to it

[Rhino-351]

Who wants to be a millionaire?

Plan A -

Step 1- Go on Eddie's show with a mate in the audience who googles the answers followed by the correct number of coughs..

Plan B -

Step 1- Go to Bali smuggle few kilo's of drugs
Step 2- If successful collect your pay packet, come back to Aus right away without conviction.. Or If caught, act innocent. You're screwed now.. BUT be patient! wait until the media spin convinces everyone your family's past drug habits have nothing to do with you..
Step 3- Spend 9 years writing down how life has been so difficult and unfair because your innocent remember?
Step 4- You have done the hard yards, time to sell that fiction story to the highest offer.
Step 5- Collect the same amount of money you were granted with 9 years ago ( possibly more ) and live the rest of your life being rich. Hell, why not apply for dancing with the stars because your such a celebrity and great role model

[nuthin' fancy]

I heard she's going to marry this guy as a publicity stunt:

An interesting point of view given you are a Bombers supporter.
