    Strange. There was no "Melbourne Rose" in the Rose of Tralee. I only checked because she sounded like a snobby cow talking up how great she is/talking down the other contestants. Must have been a piss take. Murray never said it was though!


    Listen here from 37 minutes.

    Of course it was!

    "I was here for the Newbridge Silverware, the sash, and maybe a husband"

    "lets just say I wasn't the only one putting vaseline on my teeth"

    "What I'm going to be taking from this competition is a lot of resentment and maybe some small bottles of shampoo from the hotel."

    You didn't really need to be told that was a pisstake surely?

    What?! I missed the original item, but the way JM kept harping on about it, I thought it had to be straight-up... FFS, RTE, referring ad infinitum to reactions to a prank item is as cool as chuckling at your own jokes...

    Offensive, cringeworthy and not funny.....

    Yep, that sounds like the John Murray comedy segment alright..

    People who pay €160 a year for Murray to entertain himself

    Except nobody pays €160/ year for that.

    Anyone who was 'offended' by this piece should probably stay indoors and wrap up in cotton wool for their own safety.

    The Irish star doorstepped Murray at his home to "investigate" this.

    Veeeeeeeeeeeery slow news day, clearly, as it made the front page.

    Really? Dont think I've ever heard of a radio presenter being doorstepped at home to be quizzed over an item on the show.. Could they not have just gone in to RTE and asked him?

    How in the name of fcuk is this story considered newsworthy?

    Murray must be delighted he caused a stir of some sort.

    Must be some feat to knock X-Factor or the British royals/soaps off the front page off the Chav paper of choice.

    What a Star!

    Me ;-) .. I meant in the context that his comedy bits usually offend somebody.. The Queen, Mickey Harte.. somebody is usually the butt of his joke... And I'm sure the Rose Of Tralee International will not be impressed with this piss take.. I'd say they have been inundated with calls complaining about the "Melbourne Rose" and her lack of humility..

    the fact that this was controversial was the real kicker..

    intelligent adults were actually really fooled by john murray..

    PEOPLE WILL ...get dumber and dumber until their own reflections cant bare to appear in their mirrors..
