Also it digs up the past in a derogotry way for instance the first underbelly may of triggered the recent murder of Jason Moran’s brother/cousin (forgot his name), Well maybe not all the underbelly episodes like for instance I don’t think it would of been a negative reaction from the characters great grandchildren from Underbelly Razor since it was nearly a century ago but I am sure the recent bikie war telemovie dug up the past in a negative way since it was just 30 years ago the events took place.

Best example of why channel nine portraying and glamorising the criminals as heroes and misunderstood in society, In Underbelly Files: The Man That Got Away Dave McMillan who was the protagonist criminal was portrayed as a nice bloke who was stuck in the wrong crowd for example that scene when he escapes prison and tries to adopt a stray cat giving the viewer the impression he’s a tough criminal on the surface but deep down he’s a sensitive bloke, I’m sure that didn’t really happen when he escaped. Apparently theres a tv show in England called Danny Dyer’s Deadliest Men http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGUVt8CVM3M its about Danny Dyer (probably England’s equivalent of Kyle Sandilands) who interviews England’s heaviest criminals and he happened to interview the real Dave McMillan and he is completely different from his character in Underbelly for a start you can tell his psychotic (possibly schizophrenic in a servere way), devious, got the mannerism of a nasty English villain in an old hollywood movie, probably still gets up to alot of mischief with the law but knows how to hide it and still associates with other gangsters etc.

Underbelly wouldn’t necessarily be a bad tv show if it was all fiction like The Sopranos but since they are digging up the past by glamorising it in a false way and giving the public the wrong impression what these criminals that are depicted in the show were really like in real life. I reckon Underbelly needs to be scrapped and there needs to be more seasons of The Straits (Great fictional tv show on ABC) which is like North Queensland’s answer to The Sopranos and one of the best tv shows of this year in my opinion.

Recently it came in the news that the tattoo parlour in Newtown where I got all my work done was not only owned by bikies but (OMG!) had a paddy wagon out in front of there for a day.

Naturally all my wannabe hard bogan mates were talking about going there “for their next ink”. However, my association with the owner of this establishment goes a bit further than tattoos – let’s just say we’ve done business in the past when my mum kicked me out, I was living around Newtown and needed money. And we still have a business relationship albeit a different one.

I allude to simply knowing the guy to a couple of femme-bogues at Northies on Tuesday (I’m not back in the Shire full time, I just went to have a drink with mates) and suddenly I turn into Ash Hefner. You’d think I’d suddenly gotten fully huge, orange and rich at the same time. Every guy in there wanted to buy me a drink and hear stories (all of which were 99% BS) – every girl wanted my c0ck to give them #124.

Bogans be stupid. The way they act…I mean I know the guy, I’m friendly with him, but I’m no f*cking undercover biker or anything.

nope, just doesn’t work, does it?

‘… The “Underbelly Seminar” is being run by Moonah’s Xtreme Physique gym because manager Michael Tanner wanted to raise the profile of his business and collect money for charity. But in an embarrassing setback, the gym’s charity of choice – the Cancer Council Tasmania – last month refused to accept any money raised by Ms Williams, who has served six months in jail for ecstasy trafficking…’
