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)

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...

BABY NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR NZHERALD
The Mayor of Auckland, Len Brown, announced the city’s 1.5millionth inhabitant, Ramonah Patience Toomalatai born just after midnight in Middlemore Hospital.
So why did the NZHerald run with ‘Meet Emily, our 1.5millionth Aucklander?
Since when does the NZ Herald speak for Auckland?

Is it OK to throw away your credibility for cheap...
So this isn’t technically a news story, but the questions it brings up deserve to be raised.
In what can only be described as an ‘advice serial’ a 22 year old female writes in, she is “bored” and wants to know if it is “a wise move to start having sex with lots of random men?” This letter is either made up, or a troll.
I’m only going to go on a small the feminist rant here, because ‘Uncle Agony’...

The most boring celebrity article ever
So the NZ Herald must have see the last post and didn’t want to be out done on pointless and irrelevent articels and posted this “Gem”…
Seriously?! Was it really that slow of a day you had to troll twitter for the first celebrity tweet you could find and write a 180 word article on it.
These fuckwits must get paid by by the word….

Man has lots of money, How dare he!
Sometime I wonder if the editors/webmasters at Stuff.co.nz have been replaced by The Herald, but then I remember they’re both a disgrace!
This was on the front page of Stuff…
How dare someone have a Ferrari, let alone TWO! Quick If you see him in the street, lynch him !
Fuck off Stuff, just fuck off.
Maybe this story has merit… on page 23 in the side column next to...

Yes, he was found in a wardrobe - HILARIOUS!
Glad to see they’ve dropped it subsequently. Oh wait - I just refreshed the article and there’s now a third version of the headline:
So far, stuff.co.nz have managed to read the tone of the overall story right and keep the wardrobe mentions to the article itself in their coverage:...

Irrelevant person has child, uses iPad
Fucking Hell.
Can we please stop with the celebrity idol worship please. The only thing I find more depressing than celebrities, is celebrity children, and then we’ve got super celebrity children like Shiloh and Suri (Who fucking comes up with these names, honestly. In real life they would be rightfully teased at school for their parents stupidity, but in fantasy celebrity world it’s...

After the debacle of TV3 news leading with NZ’s Next Top Model two days previously, Bob Jones writing a “funny” series of faxes is the top story for the Herald.

It's a barrage... ... - IT'S A BARRAGE!
A trifecta of bollocks in the Royal New Zealand Herald.
First up a pointless article on potential Rugby World Cup attendees which is basically a list of names, which would be bad enough, whose relevance is diminished enormously by the fact that the people it lists aren’t even confirmed as being visitors.
we might get
rumoured
and are likely to be
all been tipped to visit

Nothing like a good double standard...
Now, initially this is kinda funny. But sadly it shows a massive double standard we have in New Zealand…
Just imagine if the victim was a 19yr old girl and the intruder was a 40 year old man…. yeah exactly.

CINDERELLA IN OUR MIDST
It must be irritating to be recycled as poor half-sister, poor would-be royal, news fodder every time there is a royal wedding even though you’ve said in the past you have no interest.
Yet another pathetic NZ link to a wedding that has no significance for us as a country.

Honestly, Fuck off New Zealand media, I’m sick of this embarrassing “Me Too” shit you print. Always trying to be part of the action… This is a new low however…

A poor choice of words...
I had to chuckle at the poor choice of words at the start of this article…
“Crucified”… On the bright side, at least they didn’t say “Literally”
SBW is of course a Muslim who plays for the ‘Crusaders’ another moment of giggle…
Ironically, it’s not the Herald that said the word crucified, it was SBW’s agent Khoder Nasser,...
