Another chapter of the saga from the Aussie version of “A Current Affair,” related to its American cousin in the hosts’ ability to overexpose this tool for ratings gold while tut-tutting at him all the way.

I’ve got the perfect girl for him. I think she’d dig him, too.

Update: From the comments: “It’s like a real life John Hughes movie, I keep expecting Molly Ringwald to show up.”

“I have. Everybody has. They love it.”

Still the best line ever.

I can’t help but like this punk. It’s like a real life John Hughes movie, I keep expecting Molly Ringwald to show up.

trubble on January 16, 2008 at 11:20 AM

Hahah. Totally true.

Allahpundit on January 16, 2008 at 11:21 AM

heh…I have some friends telling me I look like this dude…so maybe I have next Halloween’s costume now?

As for the “famous glassed”, what’s the word that style…bug, with the yellow rims…will very soon be outselling not only in Austrailia, but in Europe, and all of North America? I’ve already seen street vendors in the city selling knock-offs…

I don’t think he’s into girls. That pink fairy comforter that he wrapped himself in to give an interview wasn’t his little sister’s.

Blake on January 16, 2008 at 11:22 AM

who is this guy?

RMC1618 on January 16, 2008 at 11:23 AM

Wow, I am just speechless…

HotAirExpert on January 16, 2008 at 11:25 AM

When this boy is in his 40s, he’s probably going to be one of those immature mid-aged adults. Partying might be fun when you’re a teenage or in your early twenties but sometime you have to grow up.

terryannonline on January 16, 2008 at 11:28 AM

As a result of him posting an open invitation to his party on the internet, 500 people showed up. He sure is responsible for what went on in and out of his house.

Blake on January 16, 2008 at 11:32 AM

Well, this would be ME is a pic as close to having “Yellow Glasses” that I have…Halloween, here I come! (sorry pic is so small)

But I’ll need a party….

JetBoy on January 16, 2008 at 11:39 AM

argh…TRY THIS the former “me” kink no work…

JetBoy on January 16, 2008 at 11:41 AM

I’ve got the perfect girl for him.

Very unkind.

I would think someone the like of the late Anne Ramsey is what this bloke deserves for companionship.

Shy Guy on January 16, 2008 at 11:47 AM

$2000/party in 10 parties he’s got his fine paid.

I watched that other interview from the archives last night. That whole interview is an instant classic. When the anchor says ‘why not’ is just classic. She wanted to get him to take off his glasses so bad (control and all). This kid is loving it. He’s on TV now and girls are all over him.

That anchor is funny too. What a great interview. The first one was the best and I don’t think it’ll ever be topped.

Says you. And you’re not the boss of me!

The Aussie’s version of Hilton/Spears/Lohan/Kato/Penn.

Dude, some advice: Very, very soon your act will wear thin and your 15 minutes will be up. I predict that in the future on some “Where are they now” show we will see a fat, balding, wrinkly man with his nipples pierced, still trying to pull off wearing clown glasses and a 1980’s style disco hat.

Hey good luck with that future job of picking up trash on the beach.

cat-scratch on January 16, 2008 at 12:12 PM

He’s been arrested. So, besides the costs of the police breaking up the party, the civil suits by his neighbors, the fines from his criminal conviction, he may also have some court ordered restrictions on his freedoms. From what I read, the parents wanted him arrested. While they were on vacation, he wasn’t even suppose to be at the house.

Blake on January 16, 2008 at 12:17 PM

Uh oh. He’s been charged with producing child porn.

Blake on January 16, 2008 at 12:23 PM

What would Diane West say??? This guy is definetely “death of the grown up” material. If the future Western economy, for opportunity, and war fighting, for freedom, rests on the likes of him we are in trouble.

Anyhow, he is young and therefore primed to absorb the culture and status system he has been born into. This means he is a good barometer of what Western culture teaches its young about the meaning of life, honor and goals. Gulp!

He is currently totally self-absorbed. As Ms. West might ask, if he doesn’t learn them as a youth, when and from where will he be introduced to a sense of duty and responsibility?

Dude. I think the blonde info babe was digging this kid although she tried not to show it.

RobCon on January 16, 2008 at 12:47 PM

Laugh now, but in 15 years he could be the editor-in-chief of Reason magazine.

billy on January 16, 2008 at 12:52 PM

Self-indulgent little bastard finally got the attention he always craved.

The uppity little punk is so nonchalant about everything because he’s not going to have to face any consequences for his actions.

He has a promising career ahead of him in Hollywood or politics or as pass-around medium security prison love toy.

I could never stand Spicoli either.

29Victor on January 16, 2008 at 1:08 PM

Hmmm…why wouldn’t a stoner want to take off his sun glasses? I’d like to take the back of my hand to that smart-mouth punk.

KelliD on January 16, 2008 at 1:22 PM

The party heard ’round the world.

TimothyJ on January 16, 2008 at 1:34 PM

He wouldn’t meet with his parents after they returned home. However, after he was arrested by the police, his parents bailed him out of jail. I would have left him there.

Blake on January 16, 2008 at 1:38 PM

Ladies and gents, the next Democratic Senator from Massachusetts.

emailnuevo on January 16, 2008 at 1:40 PM

What’s a Spicoli?

rightwingprof on January 16, 2008 at 4:02 PM

The latest news here is the cops can’t bill the parents for the damage, but they have just arrested Corey – on child pornography charges.

The police found images of semi-naked underage girls taken by corey’s mobile phone camera.

The linked story doesn’t mention Corey by name because the News site is in NSW and is subject to sub judice reporting restrictions but the print edition of our local Queensland paper openly mentions Corey.

Who knows whether the charge will stick, if it does the kid’s future is cactus.

HA! It’s like Capone getting taken down on tax evasion. This kid throws a party/riot and he gets busted for taking pix of girls on his mobile phone. Muahahahaha!!! I hope he doesn’t come down with syphilis when he gets booked…

robblefarian on January 16, 2008 at 4:52 PM

rightwingprof, Spicoli is a character in the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High. It was played by Sean Penn. All Spicoli wanted to do was party all the time, of course listening to Penn talk nowadays you could say Spicoli got his wish.
