Mark video blogs ... from the pub



This is the final installment of Patrick's trilogy of videos.
I fucking hope it is, anyway.

Empire of Atlantium Doesn't Declare War

Emperor George of Atlantium has announced a declaration of "impending extreme unpleasantness" against "the Fairfax corporation" in response to Good Weekend's failure to renew my contract...
I, Georgivs II, Imperator et Primvs Inter Pares of the Empire of Alantium, can confidently - if entirely inaccurately - assert that thousands of Atlantians around the world (and their children, pets and low-paid Latino housemaids) were reduced to tears by the news of Mark Dapin's recent de-employmentification by some tool at the Sydney Morning Herald.

Personally, I take it as an affront; who the hell is going to write about me for Good Weekend now?

Furthermoretowhichandwherewithall, discussions have been initiated with His Serene Highness Prince Paul of Wy, (who reigns amidst the moneyed niceness of distant Mosman) concerning the matter, and we are somewhat resolved to conduct joint exercises of a vaguely threatening and highly entertaining nature before the Darling Harbour fastness of the Fairfax corporation until such time as Sir Dapin is restored to his rightful throne, or we are offered a seat on the Fairfax board. Preferably the latter.

Georgivs II etc

A statement from Mark Dapin

The animated videos reconstructing my dismissal and subsequent Centrelink interview are not of my creation. They are the work of Patrick, my best mate from school. He had no idea of the circumstances of my severance, and had never even heard of Ben or Garry. I texted him from the pub to tell him I'd been sacked, and he responded - with deep wells of love and affection built up over 34 years of friendship - by immediately creating a cartoon calling me a cunt, and uploading it to his youtube channel so I could put it on my Facebook page.
The dialogue in the first video is not based on real life, although I do suspect they had a meeting and decided I was the cunt.
The second video is wildly inaccurate, in that it implies I am a bearded, porn-addicted, unemployable rent boy, when everyone knows I don't have a beard.

Warning: everything about this is offensive



Another disgusting, insensitive video from Patrick. I really wouldn't recommend anyone watch this at all.

My Last Day at Work

Good WeekEnd

I no longer write for Good Weekend
