Re Jay Sata's earlier post referencing Alan Partridge..
As far as I'm aware, the character doesn't seem to have had much exposure 'down under', so I had to look him up.
A couple of comments via Wiki:
"He is utterly convinced of his own superiority .." .. and,
"His need for public attention drives him to deceit, treachery and shameless self-promotion .."
Well, it seems that Artemis, Boeing and others have found the opportunity to tap into a personable, politically correct, female reality version of
Partridge too good to pass up.
A parallel down here was 'Norman Gunston', who was, by proper management of things, able to con many media figures and celebrities into thinking
he was the real deal - for a little while, anyway.
