Hard News: Crashing the party before it starts, in reply to Hebe,
I would imagine the electoral law drafters would have thought of election year.
Me too, but given some of the laws that have made it through our parliament, I'm not certain...

Hard News: Crashing the party before it starts, in reply to Gareth Ward,
aren’t there fundraisery party things from, erm, parties quite regularly?
A different issue, surely. I'd've thought the point of a fundraisery party would be to raise funds for the party, whereas treating is about giving things to voters in exchange for their vote.

I think there’s a clause in the Liquor Act
Is there a similar clause regarding airport transit lounges? Because I distinctly remember waiting in Auckland for a flight back to China and deciding to try a Speight's lager that hadn't existed back when I lived in Dunedin, and then, upon discovering that the contents of the glass I was handed looked and tasted like it was half tap water, ordering the old fashioned, regular Speight's and being disappointed to discover it looked and tasted exactly the same.

This is making the big finger in the sky seem reasonable …
Ah, yes, Chinese advertising is great for helping one stay firmly grounded in reality. I'm sure that, being a scientist, you'd love to see how they market infant formula over here....

What on earth was that pre-roll ad about?
Assuming the ads are the same as you saw, cough medicine (the capsule flying the helicopter and vacuuming bugs out of lungs) and some really exciting sugar-free chewing gum. But I didn't pay any attention to the ads that were on there yesterday.

Hard News: Making it up on smacking, in reply to Kyle MacDonald,
People can believe what they like, but that’s the science.
Thank you Kyle. But do you have the link in something other than that ow.ly format? I can't open it, but would like to pass it around to a few others.

Your photos remind me of the video for Better be home soon. And why on earth do they have two stages right next to each other?
