Poor Aisling

I just read a hilarious article about one of the Xpose girls on TV3 where a couple of lads from Cork put up a facebook page which was entitled 'Get Rid of Aisling O’Loughlin from Xposé'. It obviously gathered up a significant amount of support because she is not happy about it in the slightest. Supposedly, she was so fuming that she has gone and looked for legal advice, threatened to go to the gardi because she has claimed that she has become a victim of cyber bullying at the hands of the cheeky Cork facebookers.

I'm sorry, Aisling, I don't know if you smell the ironic cup of coffee here but I would like to remind you that you are a host on a show call Expose, one of the most reprehensible tabloid shows that has ever graced Irish screens. You do nothing but report on celebrities private lives and engross yourself in gossip whether it be positive or negative. Once it's something that you're cretiness audience might be into, you stick it in there, it doesn't matter to you and now you have the balls to give out when someone has something to say about you. Would you ever get out of it!

Another thing that I want to let you know about Aisling is, you are a celebrity now. You are in the public eye. Whether you realise it or not, you are on television now and that means you are a celebrity, an Irish celebrity. You are going to be in the tabloids. If you put a step wrong, people will write about it. If you are bad at your job, people will slag you. Look at Pat Kenny, do you think every time he got a slagging, he ran to the police. No, he is in the public eye; he takes it on the chin every time. Get some thick skin and take your scalding, it’s a part of the life you’ve chosen.

I would have loved to have heard the conversation with your lawyer.

'Eh, ooh my god, people are, like, slagging me on facebook, what's the crack with me, like, suing them?'

'What?'

'A load of feckin ejjits on facebook are slagging me and I want to, like, nip this in the bud, like, asap.

'Sorry, Aisling, you're in the public eye, it's called free press. If you put yourself out there, people are going to have an opinion on you. Just like you have an opinion on all the celebrities you have on your show.'

'Oh, it's like the same thing is it?'

'Yeah, it is the same thing.'

The bottom line is, if Aisling O’Loughlin wants this slagging to stop, she could look at the reasons why she is getting it in the first place. I have had the pleasure of seeing her in action a number of times and she is priceless. She obviously does no research on her subjects. Here are a few Aisling classics

1. She is interviewing the actor who is playing Spock in the new Star Trek movie. At the end of the interview she says 'Well, thank you for meeting with me and I think there is only one thing left to say, May the force be with you.'

2. She is doing the celebrity news – ‘Pamela Anderson is in Dublin signing copies of her new autobiography, sadly, she was not accompanied by her on and off husband Tommy Lee Jones.’

They are just two that come to mind from the anthology of Aisling O’Loughlin quotes. Look, the bottom line is the whole TV3 station is a joke, she is not alone in there, she is not alone on that show of hers. Where do you guys think you are living? You are living in Ireland, one of the most cynical places in the world, if you are on television you are going to get a slagging, your show is awful, what do you expect. Never was the phrase ‘You reap what you sow’ more perfect for a person working on Expose.
