Hard News: My Food Bag: is it any good?,
God knows i'm not a journalist, but the whole advertorial thing seems to be getting murkier and murkier. Between this, Sky city, the 'Iron Maidens' etc etc Thats not a slight on the PR thats their job, its more of a slight on the journalists involved.
Even if it isn't part of their story, they are essentially being paid in food to talk about a product. I realise this isn't Hanover finance, but it certainly leaves a bit of a bad taste in the mouth for me (sorry for the pun) on journalistic integrity.
Mediawatch did a good wrap on it yesterday http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/mediawatch/audio/2549345/mediawatch-for-17-march-2013.asx

I thought helmets were only required on public roads?

1. It doesn’t feel nice. The strap rubs, your head gets hot.
2. It mucks up your hair
3. It’s another thing you have to carry around
4. It’s another thing you have to lock up
5. It looks dorky
6. It costs money
7. It slows you down getting on and offBut all of these pale in comparision to your head cracking on the ground right?

Oh you have misunderstood, I mean I can't see why people complain about Having to wear a helmet, completely agree that they are lifesavers, it seems stupid NOT to wear one

As a non-cyclist (well since being a teenager) I don't see what the fuss with wearing a helmet is?

Hard News: The Wogistan form book,
I find it funny that this much outrage isn't expressed by the general public on a weekly basis whenever Micheal Laws column is published in the SST. I would ahve thought that calling Maori feral on an almost weekly basis was along the same lines...
