...and hey any other Telstra customers out there? They just upped my internet speed to 15mbs and my allowance from 10 to 20 gig without changing the charge. boom.
I'm with Telstra too - great infrastructure, shame about the helpdesk. Not that I've had to call their helpdesk much to begin with anyway.
And urban legend has it that Blizzard Entertainment considered relocating Warcraft's Oceanic servers to Sydney, but rather colourfully couldn't come to an agreement with Telstra.

I recommend it, too. but that's because it's one of the best films I've seen in a long time, and it made me laugh like a drain.

With real harm to NZ's reputation. That's likely to affect whether people want to move here, study here (remember previous waves of reporting about anti-Asian racism) or visit us with their tourist dollars. And who pays for that?
It's a bit like the fallout from the Indo-bashing incidents in Oz, but with vocabulary instead of fists. Even then, the hurt is no better.
So how do we make Tabloidistan pay for all this diplomatic incidence? A class-action lawsuit, maybe? In America, it seemed to work for the Southern Poverty Law Centre against the KKK.

Stranded in Paradise basically starts from the period of bodgies, widgies and the Mazengarb report.

However, the real sorting out will be happening over the next weeks and months, and the landscape has changed whether trucker-boy likes it or not.
Prostetnic Vogon Joyce vs Red Len, anyone?
-
So it seems in the Tabloid Age, libel cases or diplomatic incidents fill the legislative vacuum. By then, the damage has been done.

Why is Henry's rude name a good in the market of ideas and someone calling him a cunt in response not?
I suspect it's because the Henryites/Teabaggers think they have a monopoly on 'political incorrectness'. When they find their monopoly under threat, they'll often resort to Reductio ad (insert scapegoat here).

And as Petra posted about on the other thread, do the comments on Paul Henry's Facebook support page push the limits of free speech, or break them outright? Maybe the answer lies with those who survived Auschwitz or Bosnia or Rwanda.
