  • Hard News: Feeling Unserious,

    We all need to go through phases of liking music that our parents hate, of falling in love with shitty pop music just because it was the soundtrack to good times.

    my very first tape was crowded house, don't dream it's over. </shameful admission>

    that only lasted till someone said, "jesus... at least try to listen to this" ---> sex pistols.

    i think i still have that tape in a box at the back of the wardrobe. wee fauns come through occasionally to sample it.

    hmmmm... anyone know a good prediction market?

    i'd like to gauge how much money tvnz will have to spend on "photoshopping experts" to smooth the blemishes of its talent.

    big tv, hi-def, pimples. an evil combo.

    (and seriously... would like to know some local prediction markets)

    They even sometimes dub TV ads for different markets (in the UK, they revoice ads with different regional accents for different parts of the country).

    this is common here in nzl too. the flight centre for one (someone remind me to tell the world what fkcers those people are...)

    most of the johnson group ads are obviously ntsc-pal converted. i.e. the us of a.

    what fletcher b said.

    i'm not going anywhere near the "information" vs. "propanganda" issue craig, so your outrage is best directed at another. :)

    i am however willing to state my surprise at the herald running a stupid story about a cheap photo.

    I suspect we'll find that a PR company was paid $k to produce these pamphlets and that far from saving the taxpayer money we've been extensively fleeced.

    then why isn't that the headline? seems more likely that the herald is trying to beat-up "the party" by demonstrating how unpatriotic they are.

    This is a great find. And looking at the photo now ... well Grass just doesn't look like that in New Zealand.

    frankly... this is not a great find and is a bizarre storm in teacup.

    which is worse:
    1. downloading american photo for pamphlet, which 99.9% of electorate won't even notice origin of
    2. spending $k on getting a photoshoot done when you could have bought one from the net for $20, and saved the taxpayer a lot of money.

    typical election year sillyness.

  • Hard News: Breaking up the Band,

    bassett really is an odious little man, innit?

    the guy really does need to drink a big cup of wake the fuck up to yourself.
