Well, That'll Learn Him

Jiminy crickets.

Remember that snotty, arrogant kid in Australia whose house party caused a riot and thousands of dollars in damages?

He has an agent, and he's going to become a professional party host and DJ.

Markson, agent for many Australian celebrities, said the teen could make up to A$100,000 from his tour and could become rich, although Markson would pocket 20 percent of his earnings.

"He did a great party in the wrong place. We're going to put on a great party in the right place," Markson told Australian Associated Press.

Delaney has been lionized by youths as a legend and condemned as an arrogant brat by most other Australians, with Web sites inviting people to "slap Corey down the street." By Thursday Delaney had been slapped by 695,000 Internet users.

Markson said Delaney, who temporarily moved out of home to escape his furious parents, had been punished enough and should be allowed to make a living.

Well done, son. Quite an accomplishment.
