“Cash for Comments 2.0 (No, not #AlanJones)  – Lambo? McLaren? Mate, Just Call Him Bribe Boy”

BREAKING NEWS: #Billionaire Adrian Portelli wants to be taken seriously, so he ditches the nickname “Lambo Guy” and upgrades himself to “McLaren Guy” – because nothing says “serious reputation” like bribing journalists to play along with your rebranding fantasy.

#AlexCullen of the Today Show grabbed the bait faster than a hungry seagull at the beach. For $50,000, he called Portelli the name he wanted. But Cullen didn’t just take the cash; he posted about it like a kid showing off his first tooth fairy score. Stefanovic, always the sidekick, chimed in laughing about splitting the cash. Because, why not? Ethics? Never heard of her.

Nine Network, however, seemed to hear her loud and clear. Their version of “appropriate action”? Pulling Cullen off-air, making a statement about “seriousness,” and arranging for the $50K to be donated to charity. A nice little spin move – the kind that’d make McLaren Guy proud.

Meanwhile, Portelli’s tantrum continues. Not content with his $50K PR stunt, he’s gone on to label journalists “bullies” for daring to call him “Lambo Guy” again. Oh, the humanity! His solution? A $5,000 bounty for the best Instagram comment bullying back. Move over, Elon, there’s a new billionaire throwing hissy fits on social media.

So what have we learned here?

Cullen’s career now resembles Portelli’s Lambo: shiny but wrecked.

#Stefanovic will probably joke about this until his contract ends – or his mic gets cut.
Billionaires can apparently spend their cash on literally anything, including petty rebrands.

Suggestion for Adrian Portelli’s next evolution: Forget Lambo or McLaren. How about “Bribe Boy” or “Cash-for-Comments Man”? Both feel more fitting and, let’s face it, easier for the media to remember.
