No surprise: Aker and MTR a good fit

No-one should be surprised at the latest boot-in-mouth effort from peroxided human headline Jason Akermanis.

 

Controversy and belittling others is the stock in trade of commercial talk radio and, despite the model having previously flopped in Melbourne, Melbourne Talk Radio’s Steve Price is unashamedly following the Sydney 2GB template.

 

Akermanis has both the profile and the mouth to be a perfect fit for MTR. He’s opinionated, outrageous, a Brownlow medallist and triple-Premiership player in the AFL city and has always courted the edgy side of publicity.

 

With barely two months remaining of his illustrious, but ill-starred, sporting career, Akermanis has clearly set himself to maximising his assets to build a career in media.

 

The problem is that the only people listening to Aker on MTR are other media, waiting for him to open his mouth and insert his boot.

 

Another problem is that we at AussieRulesblog are, like many others we suspect, simply tired of this tiresome little man.
