Sydney vs Melbourne

Tom (of no fixed internet address) has made a kind of sport of comparing the ‘Top 5 most viewed articles’ on the Sydney Morning Herald vs Melbourne’s own The Age. Today’s results are particularly revealing: Top 5 articles on each of the SMH and the Age There’s now simply no denying that Sydneysiders are shallow, fashion-obsessed bim/himbos, and Melburnians are politically-minded, socially-conscious and intelligent.

Views from the Floor

Adam Bramwell says:

Well that's a pretty strong generalisation, are you trying to provoke anyone in particular? ;-)

kate says:

I have also invented a new sport recently. It is not as clever as Tom's. Mine is Sudoko Gambling! Yes, for everyone who gets irritated by Sudoko enthusiasts, there is an answer.

Sit next to the Sudoko enthusiast saying 'put a six there' and when they say 'why?' you can reply 'because I feel like it'.

Then they have to keep working properly through the problem and eventually prove you either right or wrong. I think if you are right they should give you money or beers or something.

Trish says:

I've often wondered if the handful of 'serious' journalists at SMH online are frustrated at the apparent lack of interest in anything other than the human interest/tabloid crap.

Mind you, a quick check of the situation as I write this sees an article about Kate Moss' demise at number one on The Age.

Virginia says:

But Kate Moss's cocaine habit is REAL NEWS. Sydney's Socialite Surgeon is just an idiot.
