A quick scan of today's rag and what do I see?
The Wellington District Licensing Agency has written to schools to tell them that pubs are off limits for the school ball, but students can always try strip joints and lap dancing venues such as Mermaids. And knowing the way the current liberal government works, it will be seen as a real opportunity for our young women to gain valuable work experience (have they added pole dancing to NCEA yet? "Could try harder; Will go far, perhaps all the way"). If it's legal, it must be OK.
And speaking of pole dancing, the world section carries the story of a young female pole vaulter, who was photographed by an ardent fan while she did her thing. The photos have been circulated around the internet generating the interest of men and boys everywhere, as they have downloaded the snaps to ogle and leer at her image in the privacy of their own fantasies. The DomPost of course, sees fit to print two full colour photos of the young lady, even as they try to explain how uncomfortable that makes her feel. There's no such thing as irony to a newspaper.
Which is why they are also covering the story of the young boy who was beaten up as part of a You-Tube video stunt. He's requested name suppression, worried that the media will only hound him for a story. (No way - you think they would?) Seems he is feeling extremely humiliated that not only was he beaten up, but that his image was loaded on to the net for all and sundry to be entertained. Ah, if only those kids had an android to beat up, film and publish [related story]; then it wouldn't have come to this.
The front page of course, speaks of the tragic case of a mother of four who died Tuesday, hours after her electricity was cut off. There appears to be more speculation than fact at the moment, so I'll leave the family to grieve in what little peace I can offer. But I'm not impressed with all of the groups coming out pushing their agenda ("end capitalism" says the Alliance Party - No doubt they'll run on a political platform of "Power for the People"). Geez guys, wait for the report before printing your NWO brochures. My thoughts go to her family.

"but students can always try strip joints and lap dancing venues such as Mermaids."
ReplyDeleteOur formals were at the Town Hall. The principal would shake your hand and speak to you as you entered, so he could smell the alcohol on you if you needed to hit the hard stuff beforehand. Never descended to the strip joints though - I can just imagine the dance list for that type of evening:
-Waltz
-Gay Gordon
-Pole Dance
-Foxtrot
-Maxina
-Strip-o-gram
Yeah, that'd be a hit with the ladies...
