It’s a sad state of affairs when there are no less than 5 other headlines that meet badcopyNZ criteria, stuff. You can’t really read my highlighting so, here they are folks, my top 5 other badcopy headlines for THIS MORNING:
When doors keep closing for refugees - like sands through the hourglass
‘Little Old Chinese Lady’ says racist abuse is getting worse - and getting published..
The secret service are we missing a verb? or is it really that secret
Unclean school toilets exposed I don’t want to know how

One blue tie to rule them all …

That would actually be Northcote MP Dr Jonathan Coleman (Minister of Defence, Minister of State Services, and Associate Minister of Finance), not Pakuranga MP Maurice Williamson (Minister for Land Information, Minister for Building and Construction, Minister of Customs, and Minister of Statistics)

@rooftop_gambler - It’s also a bit rich to caption that expression as a ‘reaction’

REALLY NEW ZEALAND?
Twitter makes the news. Ryan Gosling might be in Auckland?? Surely the #NZGoslinghunt hashtag could just crowdsource this out to find the Gosling.

YOU THROW ONE LITTLE LAMINGTON….

Ok, ‘lamington attack’ is actually factual, but he ‘wore pink’, wtf? NZ Herald, what decade are you living in?

Also, NO footage NZH? With a crowd of students and smartphones? Nevermind, Stuff got a pic of some crumbs and caption snarked him with a ‘caked in criticism’ barb.

NOT ACTUALLY IN A BAG WITH THE DRUGS AND A GUN, AT THE SAME HOUSE, WHICH ISN’T COOL OBVIOUSLY AND DOESN’T REALLY NEED TO BE HYPED.
Not really sure what the point of this article is. Breaking Bad fans, leave your kids elsewhere? Is this a public safety announcement for idiots? 

Police were concerned children were found at both homes ”because of the combination of drugs and firearms”.

What a load of fuss

STUFF “PUBLISHES” ARTICLE

Are Stuff suggesting that there is a question as to whether the man was actually lacerated?

Technology aids communication! Stop press!

Infidelity is gold dust at Stuff,  but this story seems particularly stupid.

First, text messages aren’t especially new developments and as far as I can remember they’ve always been used for flirting. Has this just occurred to some people?

Second, human relationships are based on communication. Talking makes cheating easier!!!

But the stats don’t lie. This was one of the most popular stories of the day. Good job Stuff.
