I feel the following is the all-time best video to be put on utube and nothing will ever supplant it:

However the "wanking" scene from Big Train is pretty good:

I'm fairly sure that the 1689 Bill Of Rights proscribes the filtering of MPs web access.

If they must run a content filter (most sites consider this unnecessary) they should really look specifically for exploits, not blacklist domains. Plus, they should really passthough a text only (and hence secure) version…

It's the weekend! Time for nonsense:

That's DJ Ryusei, aged six, and DJ Sara, already a veteran at age 8. I was stoked I could count up to 100 by the time I was six. I'm not as celever as I thought I was.

And James Earl Jones' redubbing…

"...but a number of political blogs, including No Minister and Michael Earley's blog are."

Surely that should be No Minister?

Well hey, there was nothing in the user agreement about not engaging in shameless blog-whoring...

oh, and...

I just had a look at most of the front-page YouTube NZ clips, and was most taken by this two-minute effort from a young man in search of his soul mate:

Che, can you come to my office next week for a development meeting please? There's a food show I'd like to discuss with you... Heh heh.

And ta for the link to the Nelson Arts Festival gig, Russell. Expertly filmed on someone's cellphone (managing to obscure Bret with Dan's double…

Colbert's bid got shot down

And was anyone even slightly surprised – as the commentariat has pretty much appointed Hillary Clinton to the White House, you've got to wonder why the primaries are being held at all. :)

You know, a foodie channel would be a great PAS addition.

David: good luck! Just be warned, you get a LOT of bagels out of that recipe. Good excuse to have people over for lunch – you supply bagels, tell them to bring topping of choice.

In other NZ video sharing site news there is also http://www.sealion.co.nz/. How did I find this site? Well it seems the best way to promote your site is with a sandwich board with a picture of sea lion on it out the front of your house!

I would be stoked if you guys posted more recipes, I love cooking – Stephen I'm definitely making those bagels sometime.

Amusingly enough, sites that are banned (Wired – it's "entertainment") can be freely viewed via an RSS reader, including Google Reader. Any chance of getting full RSS feeds of PA content? It's a pain being "counselled" every time I come here (and I must say that partial "teaser" RSS feeds…

Ok... so we convince a Minister to Ban water – no journos interested.

Blog gets filtered due to some IT Cock up...journos are interested.

Strange.

Make sure you kill the lamb before you set it on fire. Apparently there was some unpleasant footage of battery pigs on TV last night, so there might be some feeling out there.

PA is "counselled" by ContentKeeper, which is a pretty big web content-checking appliance. Apparently it's a "chatroom". The trouble is, virtually every site that allows comments is so tagged – and really, what media-related/technical site doesn't have that functionality these days? Even Al Iverson's antispam blogs are "counselled".

I actually…

huge props for PA here.

i can see i'd better put up my "roast chicken" and "curry laksa" recipes pronto.

then we'll see if stephen judd and i can't do a post on "smoking a joint of lamb".

David Farrar has been told that "all blogspot blogs" are being blocked at Parliament with a Websense filter. It actually appears that not all such blogs are being blocked, but a number of political blogs, including No Minister and Michael Earley's blog are. But why are grown-ups being denied access…

Che.... Can't some of you Wellington web wankers take a break from invoicing for our tax dollars

Some of us Welly web wankers periodically get Che's site (and others, although I was surprised at how long it took to get Hubris shut off) blocked because it triggers dirty word filters,…
