  • Speaker: How to Look Good as a Nazi,

    It is worth noting that the Germans still have not apologised for what they did, 'cause it wasn't them it was the nazis etc

    Raymond, you might want to actually do some research and reading up on post-war European history before making statements like that.

    Here's a good place to start.

  • Speaker: How to Look Good as a Nazi,

    Yes, but would you have thought it was acceptable for the Lincoln students to hold a KKK-themed party where some of them turned up in hoods, and some of them blackfaced-up and put nooses round their necks?

    They're only making fun of rednecks, right?

  • Speaker: How to Look Good as a Nazi,

    Aren't we all getting a little sensitive here? Someone makes fun of Scotland I don't fly off the handle.

    Um, what? Didn't you just answer yourself by posting this?

    as long as there are still people alive who bear the number on their arm -- it's not a joke. That tattoo is real.

    Is it acceptable for Jewish people to make these sort of jokes? Yes.

    Is it acceptable for white people to make jokes with the N-word in them?

    Do you see what I'm getting at?

  • Field Theory: Wait for it...,

    Football is all about the denial of orgasm.

    It ocurrs to me that there is one fatal flaw in your 'denial' theory: How many blokes do you know who can play, if you'll excuse the expression, 'keepie-uppie' for 90 mins?

    Anyway, everyone knows footy is really all about beating the Germans.

    Subtle photograph choice there

    Satirical UK magazine Viz has a regular feature called (ahem) 'up the arse corner'. Which usually contains a photo just like that one.

  • Up Front: Actors Don't Hunt in Packs,

    Really is worth checking out that movie.

    I have seen it once, a few years ago, and remember being a bit underwhelmed. Probably doesn't help that pretty boy Law is in a lead role.

    But I'll check it out again, just for you.

  • Hard News: Bowie for the BDO?,

    songs about technology

    How about anything by:

    Die Krupps
    Einstürzende Neubauten
    Laibach
    Throbbing Gristle
    Genesis P-Orridge
    Coil
    Foetus
    Killing Joke
    Swans
    Big Black

    They're all from the 'Industrial' genre, y'see.

    I'll get me coat.

  • Hard News: Save the King's Arms,

    There'll be precious little case law on it in any jurisdiction that "matters" (ie: that constitutes "persuasive" for NZ courts), I suspect. It's the kind of thing that'd be settled long before it made it before a judge.

    It's not uncommon in IP law for the UK cases to be cited - most of the relevant acts share a common root.

    In some cases, the teachings of UK cases have been followed by an NZ court, and thus become part of NZ law directly.

    But you're right. There is a dearth of directly relevant NZ case law. I'll be very interested to see how the 'wikipedia case' referred to upthread goes.

    Aviatrix

    Always liked that word.

    'cause it reminds you of 'dominatrix,' I'll wager.

    So an Aviatrix is like a dominatrix with wings?

    Wings, dude. Wings.

    Wow.
