Blogging It Real introduces "premium content"
Access to Blogging It Real backissues and latest insightful commentaries from our expert columnists will now require four regular payments of $29.95. But wait, a free set of steak knives if you register now!*
Our new service is much like "premium economy" on Air NZ, except a bigger rip off. For example, subscribers will be able to read Yamis rant about the "nanny state" and "political correctness gone mad" (taking intellectual laziness to all-new levels), Bennyasena recount his historical battles with the bottle, and offering a forthright defence of smoking (in his role as BIR health correspondent), and DC_Red just cut and paste large sections of scripture, and conclude with some banal comment like "If only our politicians took notice of such wisdom" when he's too lazy to actually think of anything to write, or perhaps too busy selecting the most populist, right-wing bullshit for our letters page.
Or you can just subscribe to the Herald's premium service and get all three of these from Garth George, plus that horrible woman from Mount Manganui.
* Promise will not be honoured.

Throw in a free internet knife (I've never seen one, but i hear it has a special boy scout-type-thingy for removing foreign matter from your mouse trackball) and you got a deal.
