Also Toshiba back in 2004 and a bit of 2005.

Awesome headline though, must give credit:

OMG. As if on cue, I was flicking through the Hun whilst picking up my coffee, and there on page x of the news section was a pic of Juddy and 'concerns expressed' about this sponsorship sending the wrong message !!!!!!!!

FFS!

I couldn't find the link but if someones got the Hun, can they find the page number?

"Concerns expressed"... you're ****ing kidding me

McDonalds is ok.

Numerous online gaming agencies are ok.

Coca Cola is ok.

Fosters is ok.

Powerade is ok.

Red Rooster is ok.

Hungry Jacks is ok.

But a Mars bar isn't?

GO AND GET STUFFED YOU EFFING HYPOCRITES!!!

Good work coach!

Slightly off topic -
I live up on the border and only read the Herald-Sun via the internet. The Carlton page is garbage and full of negative hype.
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/clubs/carlton

The following stories should be on top, not things which happeneded months ago i.e. Fevola and booze cruise.
- We just signed a major sponsor for 3 years - huge news for us - put it on top
- We just signed a future superstar to the club for 2 years (Kruezer) and GC would have been after him in a big way - put in on top

If we win the premiership this year I assume the Herald will still be talking about the booze cruise.

The only reason why I would purchase the Herald Sun is if I ran out of Sorbent.

I hope Swan has a meeting with the Herald Sun to discuss and resolve it.

It is not as bad as you are lead to believe.......it is %$#^& worse!!!

Bet the Herald Sun is spewing the cruise didn't happen a week before the 2007 Draft.

BOOZE CRUISE BLUES CHOOSE KRUEZ would've had them wetting their pants.

Or that it wasn't a well-known bedding retailer sponsoring us.

SNOOZE CHOOSE BOOZE CRUISE BLUES



Hey you Herald Sun hacks, here's a list of negatively-loaded words that rhyme with CRUISE, which your talentless sub-editors may wish to include in one of your moronic 120-point monosyllabic headlines:

LOSE

ABUSE

ACCUSE

OOZE

POOS

FUSE

BRUISE

SCREWS

RUSE


Go for it, you custodians of journalistic integrity.

Where is that guy who made the sack Pagan website. Where is he to take on this other giant. SackHUN.com

The Whopper with 47g of fat (16g sat fat) is OK to be the official burger of the AFL though. That sends the right message to kids

The "Article" is on pg 10 of the HS.

It looks something like this


Soft centre: Chris Judd with a Mars Bar

The Blues are under fire from health experts for taking on the Mars brand as a major sponsor

Carlton is not alone, with McDonald's a major Pies sponsor. Dietitian Karen Inge said it was disappointing given the scale of the childhood obesity problem in Australia

"I think it's a pity football clubs are so desprate for money that they need to get it from fast-food outlets or confectionery companies," Ms Inge said.

I actually think it's a legitimate article, and it's pretty small. There's another article in the sports section talking about how we had the last laugh. It also reiterates the Pies sponsorship by Maccas

The HUN definitely loves sensationalist stories, but let's not get too paranoid here.

I definitely remember a reasonable stink got kicked up by the whole McDonalds deal - Mick coppe a grilling if I recall.

I'm guttered Mars dont have notches on their logo

"GIBBS."

There's a sense of assuredness (sp?) when watching professionals represent our club in the media.

A professional and confident media presence is an essential requirement for board members, senior admin and footy dept members these days.

Mmm.. still haven't had my trip to Malaysia...booked last year, going next month!

Ah well, there goes the "diet" as well...

Great work by the club...Can't see any issues with the sponsorship at all

If dieticians are so damn good how come there are so many fat bastards around?

The famous Fish n Chip shop at Bondi Beach is famous for their Deep Fried Mars Bars.

They've been doing it since the 80's.

Try one...they're fantastic....and I'm not a chocolate eater.

Hammer St Take Away in Bendigo had 'em too. Then the joint burnt down. Not sure if they got going again.
