What are you lookin at?
While the United States citizens are treated to state-sanctioned murder and their country's war on arabs, Australia is in a state of lock-down as its Lebanese and white-aussie populations try and kill each other.
Just as France is getting over its widespead race-based unrest, farmers are rioting in the streets in Hong Kong .
Meanwhile, New Zealanders are being fed a media-diet of TVNZ enquiries and payouts to TVNZ presenters after their wardrobes are sold-off:
(As an aside, who would care enough to file an OIA to find out how much Bailey was paid out for her clothes?)
Anyways, I assume I'm not alone in thinking NZ news is comparitively a little lame at the moment.
I mean what are we, fucking Swiss?
Its time for some ill-informed anger, some mob-mentality, some thoughtless violence if you will.
Its time to prove to our global neighbours, once and for-all, that we are as ready to riot as the next country, that we too can descend into a state of anarchic chaos.
Naturally, the essential ingredient in any intolerance-fuelled uprising is a scapegoat.
Someone or something that can be persecuted, pilloried, punched and punished by our baying mob.
Someone or something we can blame our collective troubles on - if only we can rid society of their presence it will become the utopia we've dreamt about since birth.
Give us scapegoats I hear you cry!
I give you Peter Dunne, Jim Anderton and Winston Peters - the three horsemen of paranoia.
These are the men that force ordinary NZers like you and I to sneak down the side-street at otherwise social functions.
These are the men who force the youth of this nation into the clutches of gang members and villians.
These are the men who single-handedly subsidise companies like Cleareyes.
While some say they can be easily dismissed as god-bothering freaks, the representatives of simple-minded talk-back callers, and politicians who collectively represent less than 10% of New Zealanders - their terrible legilsilative toll continues.
The three horsemen of paranoia are responsible for the continued criminalisation of marijuana.
Free ourselves of their presence and we will be liberated once and for all my brothers.
Because the spineless Labour Party prostituted what's right in return for a coalition government pot smokers here face, as the anguished cry at Labour's election-night headquarters acknowldeged, "three more years" of being arrested.
The supply and confidence deal the horsemen of paranoia managed to weasel ensures that you and I remain criminals in the blind-folded eye of justice.
Yet the first horseman, tobacco-lobbiest Peter Dunne, through his family-values party United Future recieved only 2.67% of the nation's vote in the 2005 general election.
The second, Jim Anderton, is possibly a more deceptive horseman - while he is the third ranked politician the brutal truth remains that only 1.16% of the country voted for him.
Indeed, a party that stood on only one issue - legalising cannabis - got more than a fifth as many votes as Anderton.
The third horseman, Winston Peters, reaped just 5.72% in the election.
Collectively, these horsemen got 9.55% of the nation's vote - yet they are able to inflict their prejudices on all of us.
It's time to take a stand.
Throw down your keyboards, whet your knives and fetch your balaclavas.
Lets oust our oppressors.
Who's coming with me?

Meanwhile, New Zealanders are being fed a media-diet of TVNZ enquiries and payouts to TVNZ presenters after their wardrobes are sold-off:
TVNZ paid just over $9000 to make up for the Judy Bailey wardrobe sale blooper last month, in replacing her on-air wardrobe for the past six weeks as well as compensating her for the accidental sale of her own clothes. The bill to replace Bailey's personal clothes came to $3607. They were accidentally sold in an in-house sale of presenters' clothes that were past their use-by date, figures released under the Official Information Act yesterday revealed.
(As an aside, who would care enough to file an OIA to find out how much Bailey was paid out for her clothes?)

Count me in. Throwing the cricket bat and the beer bottles in the boot of the car as we speak. We might we find these bastards?

Very nice : )
I'd prefer to actively target the media myself as they need to do a better job of highlighting actual issues and events and not scaremongering, giving undue emphasis or reporting drivel. Besides. Cleaning up blood is way too time consuming.
Kenny Everett was once interviewed by an Australian TV presenter who swiftly spat the dummy at being upstaged by Everett. The interveiwer was sent the an incredibly small, teeny, tiny box in the mail - for him to put his talent in. A large portion of our core television and print media deserves a similar accolade.
