Shame on you
So when rugby league players make an obscene phone call they are bringing the game into disrepute and tired journalists bring up stories as recent as....1999, when Brad Fittler got pissed and had to be pulled out of the gutter (like that hasn't happened to all of us!) and was described as "the drunkest human ever".
Tales like this are being dragged up and published throughout New Zealand (especially in the NZ Herald)at the moment, and undoubtedly in Australia too.
However, when a rugby union player smashed the front teeth out of a fellow patron at trendy inner-city Coast Bar last weekend - yeah thats you Troy '11 stitches in my hand' Flavell - it barely makes the briefs. Fair enough Troy, I mean the kid did bump into you when you were carrying drinks.
Similarly the tale of two Waikato Chiefs players who brawled with one another last Thursday after an end-of-season wind-down at a local winery. I guess the local "I'll say you're Loyal too" media wouldn't like to spoil the upcoming All Blacks trial.
Go Josh Blackie in the Possibles is all I say about that; I can still remember our racist bitch of a Standard 4 teacher trying to force him to run the school cross country with his recently broken arm because he hadn't brought a note from home excusing him.
Regarding the other good news in conservative old New Zealand; we are still able to prosecute under-16s for engaging in sexual activities; and not necesarrily just intercourse, wicked.
Normally consensual sex between two under-16s is not prosecuted anyway but the affect of the latest uproar is that its still up to the whim of your local - undoubtedly competent - police constable (aka state-hired thug) as to whether or not you are charged, which is just ideal.
Fuck that, I say, charge each and every one of these meddlesome law breakers, coupling them with all the people up on possession of cannabis charges I reckon the local district courts will soon be so packed they'll acquire a real festive atmosphere.
