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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

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.

Not just an NZ problem.

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.
