  • Hard News: So-called celebrity justice,

    From the Herald article:

    The gossip grapevine is circumventing name suppression laws surrounding a prominent New Zealand entertainer's indecency charge, according to a sample of the public spoken to by nzherald.co.nz today.

    What they didn't put in their article:

    "And the Herald is helping to grow that gossip grapevine by piling on the manure."

    Reporting the news that you're helping to create seems just a little bit weird to my mind.

    EDIT: I think I meant to say 'perpetuating the grapevine and then reporting that the grapevine is growing seems weird.' :)

    Oh lord. Now the Herald has thrown it to Your Views and vox pops.

    McCoskrie and McVicar are probably already in make-up.

  • Hard News: So-called celebrity justice,

    Democratic process should be a priviledge extended to competent members of society (like those with an IQ of at least, say, 80). Which would mean 60% wouldn't even be allowed to vote. I bet NZ would be a real nice place...

    Nice to see satire is alive and well here.

    I don’t really understand how he managed to force her head down that far without it being assault. Makes me wonder what details have been omitted.

    Perhaps their relative heights.

  • Cracker: Ho Ho Ho,

    Would it relieve the excessive subtlety if I posted another clip from Bad Santa?

    If it will help break the Johnny Banks = Santa connection I have made in my brain.

    Otherwise my Christmas is ruined.

    Heh, yes. I have profoundly hidden tags :)

  • Cracker: Ho Ho Ho,

    ....I'm wondering if I was being too subtle.

  • Hard News: The March for Democracy,

    I think this march has shown us the best thing John Key has done since entering Parliament and becoming PM. Nothing.

    Indeed, they had nothing to protest against, so they did.

  • Cracker: Ho Ho Ho,

    So all they did for $200k is put a pair of glasses on him? Harrumph!
