  • Hard News: It's not OK to just make…,

    The Herald's John Drinnan weighs in on the debate (scroll down to the "Hustle for Russell" subheading):

    I'm with Ralston on those social engineering ads. I know the messages are valid - but the Nanny State connections are so pervasive...

    ..and we could have "New Zealand's Next Top Role Model"?

    Don't laugh. I predict about a 60% chance of that actually happening.

    BTW, did anyone else watch The Daily Showtonight and wonder if the first casualty of the Obama Adminstration will be Jon Stewart?

    He - albeit jokingly - said as muxh, himself, last night.

    Also, I believe that one day there will be a (possibly reggae) gig called "Rockfree Smokequest".

    :) There was; Sat. 23 Aug 2003.

  • Speaker: Copyright Must Change,

    assuming such copyright extension happened in NZ (and that is not planned unless I missed it)...

    You're quite right, of course (so far.) I should've made that clear in the posting of the video.

    Although if there's a little more acrimony than needs be between the two, it began with Ralston unnecessary labelling all the men in the ads "smug"

    I'm sure it goes back to the whole people-think-they're-the-same-person thing. ;

    I literally have no idea where he is coming from with the criticism.

    Just a thought but, having watched the ad again, it'd be easy to project that every man in the ad is saying "It's not OK [to hit your missus]" and that every woman is saying "It's not OK [for men to hit me]."

  • Speaker: Copyright Must Change,

    Pat Pilcher has another story in today's Herald titled "Are dicey stats leading copyright lawmakers down the garden path?"

    A decent article, overall, with one of the key points in this issue making a rare appearance in the trad. media. Unfortunately, he again misuses that word, and, incredibly, even worse than last time. Sigh.

    I still maintain that we can't build a discussion on such shoddy foundations, but in the spirit of trying to get somewhere ...
