I withdraw and apologise.
hell no, stick around!

maybe the best question would be: "David, why did you do it?"
That's what at least one reporter would have asked in Australia, USA, UK, ... anywhere else I guess ...

destined to be Crowded House of NZ television comedy????

Wonder what that woman at the end was gonna say?
That is Awesome!

NZ's answer to Starship -- brilliant!
Seriously, this 'pap' is as good as any of the other MOR pap they were playing on Top 40 stations back in the late 80s and is therefore a good argument for the quota that came later. It shoulda been played, yet I never heard of it!
I'm guessing the songwriter was following that old myth "If you want to get airplay it doesn't hurt to mention the word Radio in the lyrics -- even better if you can fit it into the chorus"

That's what we do this for.
because if you'd wanted to get laid you'd have joined a band (ba-dumph!)__
why did you marry Ellwood? because he made you laugh? (ba-dumph!)
a man walks into a bar ... "Ow!" __(ba-dumph!)
F#ck, this comedy stuff is easier than I thought, better give up my dayjob ....

Since its likely his friends would have loaded the iPod its likely it would be Opera. With Now That's What I Call Music Volume 23 thrown in for good measure. But since we're not supposed to be serious ...
The Message - Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
[Chorus:]
Don't push me cos I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head
It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from going under -
Yikes, I'm starting to think David Bain might have done it!
Do you really believe that? That some stranger walked into the house, conveniently while David was on his paper run, knew where to find the gun and ammunition and some opera gloves, committed mass murder, did some of Robin's washing, and then logged onto a computer to say that David deserved to stay?
Someone else has answered Anne's suggestion (playing Devils Advocate perhaps) that some one else might have done it. But it's made me think.
The computer was turned on circa 6.45am and the message (You were the only one who deserved to stay) left on screen. Both defense and prosecution have argued about the timing since David was finishing his paper round circa 6.45am. A witness evidently saw David finish his round at that time.
But even if the defense is correct about the timing then Dad must have only just finished typing the message and topped himself moments before David walked in the door. And no-one heard the gunshot? Not even the witness walking by who saw David? Seems highly unlikely. Add in that David washed his clothes before discovering the bodies (he says) and it just gets curiouser and curiouser.
Curious also that Bain did not proclaim his innocence outside the court yesterday, with all the media there. It would have made a nice soundbite (I did NOT do it!!). I've been flipflopping all over the place on his guilt or innocence - I think we need a retrial.

D'oh! You're so right Robyn! In The Emperor's New Clothes the Emperor wasn't wearing any clothes. So presumably in this new show Lovegrove isn't actually telling any new jokes. And you can't complain because he said it all in the title -- aha!

you're making this into a Lebanese conspiracy
No. I don't think he was. He was saying he was in a Lebanese restaurant and they had a copy of Investigate for diners to read. He thought it odd that a magaizne implying a Middle Eastern terrorist threat would be available in a Lebanese restaurant.
What's the only thing better than killing someone? Leaving them behind to face a mulitple murder rap
Oh, so Dad was that derranged was he? Did he have a maniacal laugh, like The Riddler on Batman?
A not guilty verdict is not innocence, as much as some of us would like it to be.
True. Talkback is full of callers who say that being found 'Not Guilty' doesn't mean you didn't do it, just that it couldn't be proved you did it. These are usually the same people who think the Police wouldn't charge somebody unless they'd done something.
My original point was that many ppl feel Bain now deserves to be compensated for his 12+ years in prison. I do too (if he's not guilty), but it would be wrong to compensate him without having another trial to establish whether he was guilty or not guilty. If he is found not guilty then clearly it was wrong to incarcerate him, so he should be compensated for his wrongful incarceration. At which time someone will argue that the Justice system ran its course and did its job and he shouldn't be compensated because there was no maleficience.thanks Malcolm for the list of companies to lobby and boycott. Disgusted by Investishite? Then get serious and let these advertisers know it.
Yeah, a tactic very popular with Right Wing Fundamentalists in the US. And if that doesn't work why don't we picket the outlets that sell it. And if that doesn't work why don't we all put on red balaclavas and bum-rush the magazine racks. And if that doesn't work why don't we all put on red balaclavas and bum-rush Ian Wishart and tie him to a tree and tickle him till he cries? [Yes, I'm being sarcastic, lest the rightwingnuts accuse me of inciting something]
