I don't fear copycat acts, more the contribution to expectations.
Tim Van Dammen has made many music vids, viewable here

That sword might be art if it were hanging on a gallery wall in Europe, Chris

For those wanting detail on the abrogation of democracy in Canterbury, Idiot/Savant links to both the Bill and associated regulatory impact statement (RIS) by the Ministry for the Environment.

massive = people, innit

The not-censor-anything perspective is put eloquently and concisely in this very short clip of author Philip Pullman at a Q&A session about his latest book (h/t @gnat). Mind you, I don't know what his broader perspective is and if he has limits beyond offending christians.

RWC is so large it's akin to bland breakfast shows on commercial radio and tv - middling prejudices gently confirmed, music strictly for nostalgia and skillfully tuned to the preferences of the middle-aged chaps who think Shania Twain is racy stuff.
Te Feelers exemplify that, and I know it has to play all over the world - but you'd think they'd perhaps get to sing a more distinctly NZ song if the main reason for our government injecting several hundred million dollars is branding us as a destination. Geez I'd even settle for something by those Aussies, Crowded House.
Instead we represent ourselves with music written to commemorate an event in Europe in 1989 and used for all manner of innocuous and unrelated events since. Amerika lite. Ambitious much?

Damn straight. Surely that's a photo caption, not a story. Wait, it's captioning more than one photo.. Crikey, I'd be suing if I was whatshername from 90210!

Thanks, 3410 and Carol - considered it for quite some time before posting. I do hope someone closer to Robbie sits him down for some home truths.
None of us are saints, but I'd hate any young man to see that and think it's "funny". For those without strong adult social influences, that's entirely possible and it's not healthy for them or any women they meet.
I doubt many grownups here will be scarred - although you are likely to feel upset and the clip is convincing enough to be triggering for some as Sandra warns on her blog.
She also provides a concise text summary, and in her follow-up post also mentions the bloodcurdling screams at the end - which along with several other features are also in the shorter version of the clip (embedded in that post).
You've heard how several of us found it, anyway. Russell's headline is spot on.

Nothing conservative about it - and I wonder how the rump Nats who aren't close to Act feel about that?
