Anyway, the "Twins of Atticus" have come forward and been given a good talking to by police.

I did but there's no link to any student film or even the title of the student film which is presumably not even completed yet if they were just out filming it, so if they're promoting their film they aren't doing it very well. Everyone will have forgotten about this in a few days. Also they would well and truly be going the extra mile in putting in effort promoting what I assume is just an assignment for a film class.

Anyway whatever that was all about I have to admit I would be well freaked out if I saw those two approaching me with weapons. That possibly would make a passable horror movie.

I really hate the "i'm sorry, but..." speech cliche. It's such a weak thing to say, if you have a strong view why would you be apologizing for it in advance. It's especially inappropriate in this context.

It's not like the Greens weren't telling people to vote for Jacinda in Auckland Central either a few years ago. I'm not sure why Gower is so shocked.

Didn't stop a lot of them still voting for the Green candidate stupidly though. Some people just don't understand democracy.

Some people have this thing about voting for the person who they feel would best represent them.

The nerve.

No it's pretty stupid to throw away your vote on a third candidate with no chance of winning, sorry. Especially since it splits the vote and causes probably the candidate they would feel least represents them to get in. I think most people in the thread understand MMP though.

Exactly, the STV system should be used for the candidate vote. That would probably make things too complicated for people to understand though.

They could maybe fix SH1 in the Taupo area so the main loving highway isn't covered in potholes, too.

But that's not in Auckland or a contested political area so it's never going to happen.

Haven't they just completely redone the whole SH1 going through Taupo, it was completely different the last time i drove through.

I'm probably misreading what you're saying here, but an earthquake in the South Island is not unforeseeable event. The Alpine Fault has a monumentally high chance of rupturing in the next 50 years (in geological time frames). It'd be like Aucklanders going "A volcano? In Auckland?" if the volcanic field got restless again.

Maybe i'm misreading you but I think the Christchurch earthquakes were largely a surprise occurrence (and not caused by the Alpine fault). Nobody really was expecting earthquakes in Christchurch but everyone knows Auckland is built on volcanoes.

I think the whole intention of publicity stunts like this is to get people talking about it like "wow that's so bad-dumb I don't fall for that poo poo so I'm gonna share it everywhere so everybody knows I don't fall for that poo poo" and then that poo poo gets everywhere because everybody is shouting to the godless heavens how little they care.

I call it "Kanye Westing".

Surely the intention of this "publicity stunt" was for TV3 to make itself seem incompetent for hiring 2 terrible nobodies as judges, who proceeded to enrage an entire country and destroy what little hope of a career they had left?

Little at least seems the closest yet to match her political competence, but I suspect he might be as politically gutless as she was.

"luvvie" means a theatre actor, not sure if that's what you're going for with that word usage?
