I'm with UncleMike on this one. Upper Hutt Posse performing Strangers Die Every Day. Smashproof doing a rousing rendition of John Cage's As Slow as Possible. HDU (feat. K'Lee) covering Teardrop. You can't help feeling that the RWC organizers have missed a whole gaggle of buses here.

And let's not forget A. K. Grant! Although he did, you know, deliberately drink himself to death. Which may just underscore the point that New Zealand is not really a good place for political comedy.

Gah! The image! It burns!
Cheese and crackers, Bart. And now we've passed into the second stage of WhaleOily Kiwiboggery: Those who disagree with me are not only stupid and evil, you're corrupt whores whose only interest in in lining your own pockets. What next: John Key's dead grandmother is running up one hell of an cell phone bill?
Craig, no offence and all, but: if you were an auto-commenting perl script, you couldn't be more predictable in these threads. It's like: database of tu quoque fallacies, meet database of more or less amusing sexual imagery. Combine.
Could we lay off the moral equivalencies, just for a moment? Because Key is Hitler.

Oh, and:

Argument and conversation are what allow us to assign value to things, I dare say intersubjectively (I hope Danyl was sitting down just then), which is not the same as objectively. And the social activity of assigning value to things is not just useful to decide whether and in what way Citizen Kane is better than Robot Monster but also to prioritise public spending, make laws and establish whether putting up a Wellywood sign in Miramar is or not a good idea.
Man, why don't cricketers have that kind of thing tattooed on their biceps, rather than cliched designs involving the initials of their ex-girlfriends? The world would be a better place.

Perhaps we can use this to settle the film-quality conundrum, once and for all ...

Am I the only person who thinks it looks like a sea of rugby-supporting undead?
Gordon MacLauchlan ftw!

Wow, Giovanni. That's ... deeply ... something. Now I know what would've been at the bottom of Mussolini's garden if he'd been a Hurricanes fan.

With this
Oh, burn! :) Good as McSweeney's used to be, though, these days if I want primary sources, I tend to go straight to Stormfront ...

Good point, Jake. And the other thing that clip shows is that Jackson can't direct actors for shit ...
Anyway, in the light of that, it's not surprising that Jackson's LOTR films have a healthy fandom on the extreme right, which responds very positively to the racial messages they perceive in his films. [Warning: Stormfront]
It's not like people are seeing phantoms here.
