Desperately seeking Wiremu
Welcome to Bennyasena's weekly media wrap up.
1) Rugby World Cup
First of all good to see bloggers influencing the local media.
Earlier in the week Yamis called it like it is in relation to Aussie voting against us in the rugby world cup bid:
By Friday, NZ rugby's chief executive is following that lead:
Not quite as forceful as BIR but good to see.
2) Desperately seeking Wiremu
The local contsabulary are searching for a nutter on the loose, out West Auckland way, apparently he's armed, dangerous and "a p-binging fugitive" according to the Herald.
The numerous live crosses to a TV3 reporter standing around in West Auckland with nothing to report on was a questionable lead news item I thought.
3) Stacey, Stacey, Stacey
In other news Stacey Jones is flying from NZ to England to help fuck Australia up in the tri-nations final - yeah:
There were some harsh questions raised in the blogosphere as to why he needed to come back for his kid's birth anyway...
More importantly, Here's how Graeme Lowe thinks the Kiwis can win.
Last time I checked we were paying $4 for the win and about $5.50 to win 12-and-under $11-13+.
4) Sorry, I got it wong
In Parliament a Labour Minister took the piss out of National MP Pansy Wong's accent then had to call her and say he didn't do it intentionally.
Outraged bloggers can be found here, and here.
Jokes about Asians can be found here.
5) Small World
The designer of fashion label Insidious Fix got nailed by the police this week, twice, for running sophisticated hydroponic cannabis operations. Who would have thought?
6) Thanks Daddy
Some wanker whose daddy gives him $15,000 to pay off his student loan but...wait for it... he decides to withdrawal it from student loan account and stick in an interest-earning bank acc. Haha.
Said wanker then runs to National - "looky, looky there's a flaw in the system that I exploited because my daddy gave me $15,000" - media obligingly pick up story.
7) Justice?
In the good to see news category: the mongrels who beat the shit out of a two-year-old are getting some street justice inside prison. Apparently the gang they belonged to is not particularly happy its name is being associated with the beating and torture of a child.
8) Looking for employment?
A Christchurch policeman's wife helps organise an anti-pedophile mail-drop which leads to vigilante action taken against...the pedophile's elderly, widowed sister.
The pedophile was, and still is, in prison.
The police have now launched an internal investigation to see how the pedophile's information found its way to the hands of the vigilantes....even Chief Wiggum should be able to solve this one.

Oh and by the way. FUCK AUSTRALIA for voting Japan. They can spin it however they want but they are a bunch of cunts. Not in a million years would NZ have voted for Japan over Aussie.They voted for them because they are pricks who thought they could scam some bucks out of Japan.
By Friday, NZ rugby's chief executive is following that lead:
"We would be wrong to hide our extreme disappointment and the wounds of that disappointment will not heal easily," Moller said at a pre-test Scotland Rugby Union function today.
"We're going to have to think about consequences of this."
Not quite as forceful as BIR but good to see.

In other news Stacey Jones is flying from NZ to England to help fuck Australia up in the tri-nations final - yeah:
"I'm only going back to win, not just to play. I wouldn't be wasting my time if I thought that we couldn't really have a good crack at it," Jones said.
