ABC PRESENTER'S DOPEY PAST
Former ABC Triple J announcer Helen Razer has been reborn as a relatively sedate presenter of the Sunday Show on 774 ABC Melbourne and ABC Victoria.
She’s put her wild odd-ball personae well behind her, but she still has the dubious honour of being the first Australian whose marijuana arrest was used as the basis for an advertisement.
Shortly after she was busted in 1997, the Kings Cross bar, Hard Coffee, ran an advertisement with the headline, “Where Helen Razer should go when she’s got the munchies.”
Later Razer wrote a book, Gas Smells Awful: the Mechanics of Being a Nutcase in which she described how she was stalked by an obsessed marijuana toker.
She wrote that being stalked by the pot smoker drove her “completely fruitbatty. When someone chases you for a couple of months you do go nutty. I was just the object of his obsession.
“He was a young man who was potentially unstable and who smoked way too much marijuana. He really reeked of pot. He was like a walking bong.
“I could not see him coming because I’m so damned short-sighted but I could smell him. That distinctive sapid whiff of marijuana.”
