Such Is Life - Ben Cousins Doco

Such is life huh?

To me this was just another documentary that glamorizes drug's and drug addiction using high profile people, as previous Australian shows have flawlessly demonstrated to do so in the past.

Some people have even stated that the intention of the documentary was to display some insight into drug addiction and hopefully influence the youth to stay away from drugs.

Ben is still clearly smug, overly confident and egotistic. The documentary provided if not little to no insight into drug addiction and once again, clearly shows that the rich and famous know nothing of hardships.

So fuck, he couldn't get a job for a couple of weeks because of his known drug use while maintaining his Bondi Junction apartment and flashy car? What about heroin junkies doing it hard, contracting H.I.V from unsterilized needles? What about people with real problems and real addictions?

Once again, millions of viewers across Sydney have bought into complete crap and if you think about it, the only bit of leniency and understanding society is going to have towards drug users now are the ones that fit the certain sterotypes, people in sport preferably.
While the infamous meth and heroin junkies still cop the same old shit because Chanel 7 is interested only in fame and glamour rather than reality and realism.
 
^What makes you think this is only sydney centric?

It's about a player who plays for a melbourne team now, and previously was a WA celeb.

Some of it seems like bullshit, something he's been forced to release to blow off steam after a terrible season with Richmond, for which his drafting is likely being blamed.
 
Dob in the dealers

was the fucking headline of a pathetic segment they hosted on sunrise this morning. Perhaps a tad early for the boys here lol..

but.

These 2 ning nongs were practically demanding cousins point out his dealers houses to the cops!


FUCKING IDIOTS! Do they have any idea of first, the consequences.... i'd say cousins purchased of some reasonable players.

and secondly... that's just wrong and stupid. Its not the fucking drug dealers fault. Take some god damn responsibility for fucks sake..
 
bah either way, cousins had a good run. 15 years is a fair whack for most players, and seems to be about the average anyway.

Trip, i'm up early enough to watch sunrise, but I don't watch tv, i didn't even watch this garble on tv, i downloaded it this morning :)
 
lol.. i don't count it if your still up form the night before bro. :-P

but yeh.. i don't take any of kochy or mels crap seriously haha. Its mostly commical to me..


Although i am pretty fucking pissed that our dead troops are like the 4th - 5th story down the headlines..

it disgusts me that cousins is put before these people that have died for nothing..
 
If you think Sunrise is white bread just try watching Kerry Ann on the issue. She had a round panel with a few B graders and you could tell the ones who were drug takers themselves. (Celebrity hairdressers have the best coke connects it seems ;) ).

I think the most interesting part of the doco was the police bust on the streets. Full scale swat team for a junkie with a few pharms on him. Either their intelligence was completely off or they just did it as Ben said for pay back. My money would be on a set up given the media was tipped off.

Excuse me while I blow of this high with a kick down the park.... ;)

He's right. He's not the image of the junkie on the street, he's a professional with lots of money and a hedonist who loves getting high. Judging him, his actions or his choices misses the point at this stage of the debate, which is: drugs are a huge part of our society. Those of you shocked by these scenes need to look past the protagonist and come to grips with the reality that person sitting next to you at work probably getting wrecked on the weekend. Why?

Well that's a little more positive than I was expecting.

Haha, I just joined that and then immediately shat myself when I realised I have bosses on Facebook :\
 
Yeah I hovered over the 'like' button for a second, but I have employers + family on my facebook :(

Though I'll admit I've torched my pipe like that a few times trying to get 'one last toke' out of it.

I can't wait 'til the day we can say to our bosses and fellow employers "Had a great weekend on crack."

I hate not being able to take open pride about our use, it's time for a change.

^ Haha. I remember going to the footy soon after he was first busted and there were a lot of yelled comments about him being close to the white line etc, haha.

Yeah fully. You get people going on about how they got shitfaced on booze but you can't share your own experiences. In the past I have probably come across as some total straightedge when it's really that I was indulging in things that are unmentionable to others lol.

What happened was the Organised Crime and Gang Crime (read Bikies) Squads were targeting a suspected drug dealer. Cousins and his friends had contact with the suspected dealer, who was obviously under police surveillance, and then drove from the scene. The police followed Cousins and friends after they left the scene. They pulled them over citing the wayward manner of their driving, i.e. all over the road, as the reason. Only that last bit is crap.

The police pulled the cars over because they wanted to see whether those cars that were just in the presence of the said target contained any drugs. If they did then perhaps those people, with a little bit of pressure, might provide evidence against the target (i.e. the presumed source given the earlier contact). And perhaps the car they stopped is just one of 10 in the last month. If every car which is seen going to the target's house has drugs in it which can be proved come from a common source or at least contain significant similarities, it is pretty good evidence that those drugs in all those cars came from the target. Cousins was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and that, imo, is why the police stopped the car. The circus that followed was because of the person whom they stopped, the location they stopped him in and because the vultures could get there so quickly.
 
They are interviewing the producers of the documentary on rrr right now if anyone is keen
