Gareth Ciff and his mouth
07/06/2007 09:47
Gareth should take responsibility for his embarassing behaviour and act like a role model and a responsible citizen. Crime is no laughing matter even if no one has been killed. His insensitive response is an example of the callousness that's become a problem in our society these days. Do something positive for a change Gareth, you are not a rock star! - May |

Cliff the...
07/06/2007 09:51
Gareth Cliff is by far THE most irritating, useless human being in SA. WHO CARES about your opinions Cliff?? take him off the air forever, he is the sole reason i refuse to listen to 5FM, and will boycott the station until he is removed permanantly. Do SA a favour cliff, disappear forever! - bney |

Leave Gareth alone man, I am sure the oakes wife has more melons for him to sell, it is funny, the guy should be glad to be alive, but he complains about watermelons???? - Steven Wells |

Grow up Gareth
07/06/2007 09:55
I find Gareth immature and his reaction to a victim of crime proves my point. The crime situation in this country is no joke and someone in a position to do some good should take all cases of crime seriously. - Pam |

What?
07/06/2007 09:56
What is really funny is GC now claiming to be the victim!?? I don't know how a radio station can even employ this dude as a DJ. With his mind and what comes out of his mouth he should permanently employed as a toilet cleaner at 5FM.
Actually cancel that. That is not fair to any toilet cleaners - they have far more cass than he does. - QuintS |

Murder and rape seems acceptable, striking to get you want the norm, so why the uproar over Gareth's insensitivity? - Eugene Casey |

I'm a victim, says Cliff
07/06/2007 10:02
Cliff, you are not a victim! You still don't get it. As Joanne said: Perhaps he was crying as it was his sole income! But why would you care??
Perhaps a suspension without payment should enlighten you.
It is never acceptable to laugh at someone suffering a misfortune. My mother taught me that when I was very young. I am positive that your mother taufgt you the same thing.
Just as it's never polite to call someone an idiot. - Danie |

TAKE CRIME SERIOUSLY
07/06/2007 10:04
Everything is relative. For some the lost of watermellons may spell the end of their business. The strange thing is that the horrible attrocities that happens to us (community) every day are laughed upon by the government and the jokers that have airspace. But if we say anything on our blogs, they want to censor it. Thank you SABC for taking this seriously! - Christiaan |

07/06/2007 10:08
All those sensitive viewers/listeners. Get a grip. Stop being such cry babies. If you don't like it when people laugh then go rent "The Notebook" dvd and leave people with a more optimistic/positive outlook on life that can see things for what they are and perhaps even having a chuckle due to it's absurdity carry on with their own lives. Build a bridge and get over it. - MP3 |

it seems like just because he was previously a pop idle judge and there said what he wanted and laughed at others expense, he now thinks he can laugh and make comments as it suits him. his ego has gone through the roof and i am pleased with the stations action against him. maybe that will bring him back to earth and make him realize that he is not the big shot he believes he is and very fiew people appreciate his antics - verona fourie |

You being a victim is funny!
07/06/2007 10:14
Gareth Cliff claiming to be a victim - now that's very funny. No Gareth, you don't laugh at somebody who's been robbed - no matter how small you might think it was. You obviously have more money than him, and would think nothing of it if somebody stole a few watermelons from you. Does that give you a right to laugh at him? Grow up and try see it from his perspective. You should have been taken off air for much longer!! - H |

Bney I have to agree with you. And Steven Wells no, people should not be "glad to be alive"!!! It shouldn't have happened in the first place. Watermellons might be a laughable matter for you, but if your livelyhood you would also be weeping. Grow up! - Frik |

Lets ban modern music, voilent movies, jokes of any nature, foul language, unhealthy food, alcohol, premarital sex etc - We can listen to classical music, have discussions on the radion about Gardening, the Arts, Ballet. Wars will end immediately, crime will be no more, Poverty and hunger will no longer exsist.
Wake up and live in the real worl. Gareth, i too found it funny - dj |

I stopped listening to 5FM a while back, mainly because I found Gareth Cliff to be annoying and ingnorant. Ignorant in the true sense of the word - uninformed. I also know people who have encountered him in public and they all reckon that he is a self-centred knob. - Peter |

Listen to yourselves - you spineless, whiny, sheep of the country - feel free to tune in to Highveld or Jacaranda and hum along to the "classics" - you people are stuck in a time warp. Gareth tells it like he sees it - which is a refreshing change in our "democracy". Grow a pair already, you insipid, conservative mother-grundies. Viva Gareth Cliff Viva!! - SR |

Don't listen to him anymore
07/06/2007 10:28
Found Cliff to be insulting and apathetic and stopped listening to him since the incident. If his watermelon comment is true then his true character is one of malice. To some watermelons is their GIG, watermelons or DJs will the real melon please stand up!!! - Mervin |

Laughing
07/06/2007 10:32
I don't get it, the oke who lost his melons, lost part of his income. Gareth off the air would, hopefully, mean he loses his income. Shouldn't Gareth be laughing at himself now and all those people who like him should be laughing as well? - Kendor |
