If Comedy Central NZ hasn't sewn up the rights perhaps the powers that be at TVNZ 7 could look down the back of the sofa for some cash to buy the rights, it would be a very good fit considering the way the network has oriented itself.

It could be (c) They really didn't want to associate with Radio Live.

Hopefully they'll pick it up. In the meantime I've set up a Facebook group (because we all know Facebook groups can change the world) to call for its return http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=235994543132&ref=ts

I don't see episodes scheduled on Comedy Central, either.

Hi everyone
I sent some feedback on C4's website asking why they hadn't scheduled The Daily Show this week as new episodes are being broadcast this week in the US. I received the following response:
"Greetings,
Brace yourself! For reasons currently unknown (to me... And everyone I have so far enquired with at least) C4 have decided not to pick up The Daily Show for 2010.
I wish I had better news for you...
Regards
TV3 and C4"At least clips are available online, but I'm disappointed.

Off Topic, but good to see the provocation defense has gone.
Anyone know who/why five MPs voted to keep it?No idea, I agree that it should be disposed of, now that a life sentence for murder is no longer mandatory, it should be considered in mitigation, rather than as a partial defence.
However, I don't like the way laws like this are developed. Usually there's some outcry about something (like Clayton Weatherston being a douchebag), and the government rushes to act by introducing legislation. I know the Law Commission had issued a report on it, but there's loads of reports gathering dust just waiting to be acted on.
Maybe the objecting MPs were reacting to how the process progressed, rather than the policy itself.

A stoner friend of ours in Texas got busted for marijuana in his glovebox, and his indignant defence was 'but officer, it's shitty pot!' He honestly thought the lack of quality would be reason enough to get him off. Heh.
If it had insufficient THC levels, then he might well have had a good argument.

Perhaps the ad would have been better if the cop sniffed the air or something to indicate the smell of cannabis.
Anyway, here's bullet time in lego.

Excellent. Now just put in an episode of <i>Woolly Valley</i> and my life will be complete.

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for
authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place
of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their
households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They
contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties
at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."-Attributed to Socrates (469-399 BCE).
