There’s an annoying comment that often pops up beneath the many celebrity stories that pepper social media.
It looks a little something like this…
“Who?”
Sometimes, these eloquent keyboard warriors expand on this idea and branch out to other well-loved phrases such as “who is that”, “why is this news?” and “never heard of her.”
These comments are supposed to be clever and cutting, but why somebody thinks not knowing the identity of a person who is taking up real estate across multiple websites, newspapers and magazines is so impressive I’ll never really know.
I can only guess these are the same people who proudly declare they’ve never deigned to watch an episode of Game of Thrones, because if everyone else in the world is enjoying something, why the hell would you want to join in? Excellent call all 'round.
These are exactly the kinds of comments that could be found below every single story written about Roxy Jacenko following her controversial appearance on 60 Minutes this week.
So for every person who wrote “who?” beneath these stories, allow me to help you out.
No, really, it’s my pleasure. Game of Thrones is over for another year anyway, so I've got some time to kill…
