The big ongoing news coming from Australia, apart this tragic break-and-enter, sexual assault and murder involving Chinese and Korean exchange students in Waterloo, Sydney is undoubtedly Gelatogate, the scandal which refuses to go away and has already yielded over 550 articles and shows no signs of letting up for a good number of weeks yet.
‘Gelatogate’ occurred at the famous, or should I say infamous, Coogee Bay Hotel – a stronghold of surfers, British and Irish expats and gap students, westies on vacation at the beach and aspiring DINKs and yuppies. Gelatogate occurred as a result of a complaint by the Whyte family over the volume levels of the TV playing the NRL Grand Final in the brasserie. To applease the Whytes, restaurant staff moved the family and provided a complimentary gelato free of charge for their inconvenience. All sounds fairly normal until … (from Mrs. Whyte’s own words)
“There were four scoops including vanilla, chocolate and hazelnut. At the bottom, there appeared to be chocolate. Greedily, I went for it ahead of the kids. Thank heavens I did. The stench, the taste…I spat the food into a napkin and immediately I was sick.”
Oh dear .. looks like someone got creative with the gelato. Though, they obviously didn’t think of the consequences of this shitty action and the ongoing drama, accusations, and bad publicity this would all cause, especially given the Coogee Bay Hotel has been desperately trying to shake its violent image (it was found to be the second most violent pub in NSW in terms of assaults earlier this year).
Five weeks after the initial incident, there’s been a lot of accusations, lawyer’s claims and counter-claims, to-ing and fro-ing, but finally there’s proof that the gelato did indeed contain shit. -They’re just not certain yet whether the shit provider is human or animal, male or female, though this should revealed in time. Check out the Sydney Morning Herald or News for updates on this ongoing drama.
Update: It’s being proposed by PR wanker guru Max Markson that none other than Gordon Ramsey come in to clean up the mess, if he can’t do it no one can.
