    Free copies of New Idea were given out at the Dragons vs Sharks game on the weekend at Kograh. When I left there would have easily have been 30 bundles at the score board exit.

    INTERNET sensation Clare Werbeloff, instantly famous for her eyewitness account of a shooting in Sydney’s Kings Cross last weekend, has admitted she fabricated the story.
    The Sunday Telegraph can reveal the 19-year-old told investigating police that she “made the whole thing up”.
    “We’ve spoken to her, but she’s not a witness to the shooting,” a senior Kings Cross officer said.
    “She’s told police that she didn’t actually see it.”
    In an interview with Channel Nine immediately after the shooting, Ms Werbeloff gave a vivid account which was posted on YouTube and attracted more than 200,000 views.
    “There were these two wogs fighting,” Ms Werbeloff told Channel Nine.
    “The fatter wog said to the skinnier wog: ‘Oi bro, you slept with my cousin’. And the other one said: ‘Nah man, I didn’t for s—, eh’ and the other one goes: ‘I will call on my fully sick boys, eh’. And then pulled out a gun and went: Chk-chk boom!”

    The “chk chk boom” girl Clare Werbeloff says her fake witness account of a shooting in Sydney was meant to be a harmless bit of fun.
    The 19-year-old has admitted that her eye witness account of a “fat wog” shooting a “skinny wog” was a lie, but she told A Current Affair last night that she had no regrets.
    “It’s been the biggest week of my life,” she said.
    “I’ve had fun and I didn’t mean anything by it. It’s just a bit of fun, so it will be a good story for the grandkids.”
    “Aussies love to muck around with each other. They love jokes and I just thought Australia would get it.”

    Ms Werbeloff said she saw a television camera in the street in the early hours of May 17, and ran to it.
    She positioned herself in front of the camera and said: “There were these two wogs fighting. The fatter wog said to the skinnier wog: ‘Oi bro, you slept with my cousin.’ And the other one said: ‘Nah man, I didn’t for shit, eh’, and the other one goes: ‘I will call on my fully sick boys, eh.’ And then pulled out a gun and went ‘chk chk boom’.”
    Ms Werbeloff has apologised for any offence caused by her use of the word “wog”, but said her generation “don’t really take offence to it any more”.
    In the wake of her politically incorrect television interview, Ms Weberloff hired a PR firm to deal with the scores of requests for media interviews.
    On one day she received 85 requests from news organisations around the world.
    Her now infamous interview has even been mentioned in Federal Parliament.
    Yesterday Infrastructure Minister Anthony Albanese compared Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull to the “chk chk boom” girl.
    CLARE WERBELOFF, the “Kings Cross bogan” who introduced “chk chk boom” into the Australian vernacular last week, has been exposed by police as a fake.
    The 19-year-old from Sydney’s northern beaches shot to international fame with her colourful account of a shooting outside a Kings Cross nightclub last weekend.
    By yesterday, nearly 300,000 people had watched her account of the “fat wog” shooting the “skinny wog” on video-sharing website YouTube, and more than 15,000 had joined fan sites on Facebook.
    Within 24 hours of the footage first airing on Channel Nine, T-shirts emblazoned with “chk chk boom”, the phrase which Ms Werbeloff used to describe the gunshot, were being sold on a US website. There were also drink bottles with the slogan and a rap-music remix of her video.
    But Ms Werbeloff has been forced to admit her “eyewitness” account was bogus.
    As she prepared to tell all on Nine’s A Current Affair, detectives told The Sun-Herald last night Ms Werbeloff’s account of the shooting of Justin Kallu, 27, the so-called “skinny wog”, was made up.
    “We have interviewed her and she has not witnessed the shooting,” said acting Kings Cross Police crime manager, Detective Inspector Matt McQueen. “She has admitted to making it all up and has not witnessed the shooting.”
    After the phenomenon went global, Ms Werbeloff joined forces with a publicist, who would not respond to questions from The Sun-Herald yesterday.
    But not everyone has jumped on the bandwagon, with more than 750 people signing up to a hate site on Facebook.
    Inspector McQueen would not say what motivated Ms Werbeloff to go on camera and claim to be a witness.
    Police said they have ruled out laying any public mischief charges against her. Media blogs last week reported that Ms Werbeloff had been working for The Projects, the management agency co-owned by her PR agent, Adam Abrams.
    Mr Abrams denied Ms Werbeloff worked for the agency, but said she had done an exclusive deal with Nine and would not be speaking to other media.
    “Clare won’t be commenting [until] Monday night on A Current Affair as she wants to tell the story once in full,” he said.
    A source said Ms Werbeloff’s older sister had been “embarrassed” by her sibling’s new-found fame, and that Clare was fearful of retribution from the gang members who she mocked.

    In Woolies today, my wife was approached and given a promo bag of “goodies” apart from foot cream, knitting wool and other funny things included was the Christmas Issue of Family Circle.

    Either Woolies do not send magazine stock back or they failed to return magazines on time and missed their credits, I hope it is the latter because if distributors are making these non compliance rules to Mega Supermarkets this is wrong.

    That’s a good point Derek, Do they do returns the same way we do?

    And giving someone an old Christmas issuse is just similar to Kaine’s post – No Bwains here.
