CAMPAIGN FOR KARL UPDATE [Friday 30 August] Karl just made it official and gave a hat tip to #CampaignForKarl on TODAY.
He also (somewhat unwisely) said that he will shout the first round of
drinks, so let’s get this thing to 10,000 and make the dreams of some
diehard Karl Stefanovic fans come true. More to come!
Hey you guys. For those of you who visit Pedestrian on the regular, our shameless fandom of Australia’s Spirit Animal / Favourite Drunk Uncle / Saviour Of Breakfast Television Karl Stefanovic is no secret, and for the rest of you here are just a few reasons why we’ve got Google Alerts on this guy:
His disregard for professionalism all for the sake of getting LOLs.
This interview.
He is in troll-mode 24-7.
He laughs at his own terrible (usually weed-related) puns.
Grimes once tweeted about him.
He covered the devastating Queensland Floods with sincerity and humanity.
That one time he combined his mad trolling ability and fondness for weed references at the same time.
This unforgettable GIF.
And also this GIF.
He was awarded the Gold Logie after being visibly off his gourd on breakfast television the morning after the Logie Awards just two years earlier.
Evidently, we relish the opportunity to write anything that involves Karl being a ridiculous human, and based on your comments, Likes and retweets we know there’s a tonne of Pro Karl Stefanovic readers among you. We have been thinking of ways we can give you, our readers, a way to connect with Uncle Karl and organise a One Direction-style meet and greet for his fans.
We’ve been trying to make contact with Karlos through as many channels as we could think of: blatant hit ups via Twitter, contacting the Channel Nine marketing team, writing story after story of completely tenuous Karl Stefanovic-related “news” to get his attention – and all for naught. And so we have a proposition:
If we can get 10,000 ‘Likes’ on this article, Karl will agree to have a beer with 200 Pedestrian readers. We’ll provide the venue and refreshments. All Karl needs to do is turn up, be the rare individual that he is and fulfill all our fantasies where we meet him, become lifelong friends and attend his dinner parties.
Join our #CampaignForKarl if this ridiculousness is the reason you watch breakfast television:
