In my opinion Parky only bothered to spout his nasty and pointless opinion because he realised that no one gave a toss that he'd retired. It's all about the "look at me. I can be controversial. Notice me! Notice me! Please! Notice me and give my contribution to society some pseudo validity."
Much like some of the posters on this thread.
Most people aren't thinking about Jade and the rise of the reality show celebrity. Most people are actually thinking, "Ah nuts, work tomorrow."
So, shut the **** up, 'Parky', and get busy retiring.
