Sting in the tale for the media
Dear Morrie
I'm disgusted at the way the Australian and British media have
treated poor Prince Harry during his stay so far in Queensland.
There don't seem to be any rules, let alone any decency, in the
scrutiny the Prince is put under on what is meant to be a private
visit.
I'd like to know what I can do to make Prince Harry's life easier
and to ensure he knows not all Aussies are unprincipled stickybeaks
like our media.

I couldn't agree more. Privacy is a precious commodity.
Just the other day I was having a chinwag with my old mate Bondy
who recently came out of seclusion to join in the celebrations
for the 20th anniversary of Australia winning the America's Cup.
Bondy knows all about being in the public spotlight. There isn't
a facet of his life that hasn't been sniffed at, turned over and
magnified by those reptiles in the media.
Same goes for my old pal Skasie. He was subjected to relentless
pressure from the media just because he decided to take a bit
of an extended break overseas while he regrouped and planned his
next big venture.
Luckily that pressure's now eased off a bit.
There's no doubt in my mind that the Aussie and Pommy media represent
some of the lowest scum of the earth. They're always willing to
poke their telephoto lenses up everyone else's cloaca, except
their own.
Having said that, I'm a businessman at heart and if I can make
a quid off the media then I'll do it. It'd be madness not to,
wouldn't it?
So, if you're interested, I've a plan to sting the media right
where it hurts them most - in the wallet.
You'd be aware just how much dosh those scummy Fleet Street tabloid
rags pay for titbits of gossip about any member of the Royal Family.
Blokes like old Rupert Murdoch - an ex-Aussie boy and now a fully
fledged Septic - have always known that sex sells. His UK fish
wrappers are chock-a-block with outrageous yarns about the lives
of those behind the Buck House fence - remember poor old Fergie
couldn't even a toe job by someone other than her hubby without
having it splashed across the front page.
There's a definite market for tales of royal shenanigans - a market
I plan to exploit.
It's a simple concept. All that's needed is to find an Aussie
sheila or sheilas who've done the deed with young Prince Harry.
I know they'll be out there. After all, he's been in Australia
for a few weeks now, and those outback gals would have been lining
up for a right royal rogering.
I know just how randy and starved of real male company they can
get out there in the dusty corners of our wide brown land. I'm
not one to brag, but in my younger days when I was on the road
flogging meteorite insurance to farmers, there weren't too many
nights the old Morrie had to hang the "vacancy" sign
above his motel bed.
Add to that the fact Harry's grandad has always been a mad pants
man, his dad is known to enjoy the odd highland fling, and at
least one of his uncles is the same (remember Randy Andy?) and
it's a dead cert the young Prince has been stabbing the rabbit
non-stop since arriving on our shores.
So if I can find any young lass willing to tell all about her
night of passion with Prince Harry - even if it was just a few
minutes or seconds - then I can flog her story to the UK tabloids
at a huge price and make a killing.
But before that happens we need to recall one of the first principles
of being a successful entrepreneur: Sometimes you have to spend
money to make money.
There'll be plenty of expenses incurred before I get to the stage
of discussing suitable reimbursement with the likes of Rupe or
his reps - things like a makeover for the girl (or girls) in question,
a new frock or two, a tasteful topless photo shoot ... the list
just goes on and on.
And even prior to that there's the cost of advertising for those
who've had a royal root bestowed on them to come forward.
This first stage of the process is critical. Without it we all
might as well fold our tents now.
So if you're keen to be in on the ground floor on this one, let
me know. Send me a few Ks for the special fund I've set up and
I'll start cranking up the publicity machine to locate our young
Prince's bedmate.
Just send me a cheque made out to Calling Anyone Shagging Harry
and I'll soon get things moving at my end.
Bugger it, to save your time and mine, just make it out to CASH.
I'll be in touch.
