As the sparkly strain of T-Swift fever sweeps the nation, a Germside man has reached out to The Advocate today to protest that it’s all a bit much.
Darren Berrigan, a single 36-year-old forklift driver from Brisbane’s northern suburbs, has been in contact throughout the week complaining to our newspaper about the enthusiasm of local Swifties in his area.
In a series of texts to our editor, Darren has said that the wall-to-wall media circus surrounding the arrival of Miss Americana was ruining his daily diet of sports content.
“I’m sick to death of all this Taylor Swift news, there’s more important stories in the world!” Darren texted to the Advocate while watching some highlights from the Queensland Cup trials.
“I could barely enjoy the Superbowl last week, all the betting agencies talking about Swiftie multies, where was the actual game analysis,” said Darren, who last week had to google who Christian McCaffrey is before placing his multi.
Overall The Advocate can reveal that the opinions of Darren seem quite rich, considering he’s a die hard Broncos Dribbler who feeds his pet staffys, Gord & Tallis, with NRL branded pet bowls.
As a bloke who’s decked his car out with Broncos seat covers, and sips Slurpees from a Broncos ezy freeze stein, Darren was quick to defend his fandom of his cute little footy team.
“Nah mate it’s completely different, the Bronx have history, heritage and they’re actually talented!”
“Did you see what Reece Walsh was doing in the finals last year, the man was playing absolute Rugby League symphonies in Suncorp every weekend. And you could get a ticket to that showcase for $50!”
