Deal or no deal, O'Keefe?

Popular TV personality Andrew O'Keefe has been reported to have cost his bosses at Seven Network a whopping $25,000 to hush up a video footage of him in a drunken state. 

And Nine Network lost no time in rubbing salt to the damage saying unhelpful stuff like, "O'Keefe's splayed in the street, profoundly inebriated. He has to be helped to his feet by a blonde woman who disappears down the street. I don't think you'll be seeing it any time soon on Today Tonight (a Seven Network tabloid program masquerading as current affairs)" No class, if you asked me.

Come to think of it, I wonder which power denizen at Seven authorized the clandestine transaction; just think they could have spared themselves the whopper if only they have chosen this deny-n-blame tack

And the bouncer who recorded O'Keefe's state of being should be held accountable especially if he/she work for the nightspot from which O'Keefe was seen stumbling from. What kind of society do we live in when an employee seek to benefit from a customer's predicament? I say we fine the bouncer $25,000 for his/her lapse in duty of care. No, let's make that $50,000. That should teach him/her.

I like O'Keefe and don't care what he does when he is off screen. He is as human as this bloke and we should stop all these holier than thou shit.
