    That story on the French bludger is absolutely illustrative of just how low journalism in NZ, and particularly Stuff, has sunk.

    Not one single Facebook post or Tweet quoted, and then embedded to emphasise how inane said Facebook post or Tweet actually was, and pretend to be actual journalism. Shame on you Stuff.

    I can't believe that French story was made into something that big, when it should have been a brief one line in the crime section of the local rag. Fuckwit. Seriously? Bust up some signs because no self respecting motorist would give a ratty, aggro, entitled sack of shit a ride?

    My other main bugbear with Stuff at the moment: headlines about Colin Craig and his press secretary, and the nauseating accompanying photos. He looks like a teenage rat. And the claims and counter claims. They had an affair. They didn't. They kissed. They didn't. He 'emotionally cheated'. WHO FUCKING CARES. It's almost one of those political scandals where the protagonist desperately wants it to be big news so he can be relevant, but can't convince anyone to give a shit.

    Like four separate stories on Stuff about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie splitting up.

    Ugliest thing is seeing the gleeful Rachel from Friends gifs plastered everywhere. People are such shits. Six kids just had their world turned upside down, and all that can be said is oh, Jennifer Aniston must be laughing, as if she locked herself alone in a tower for 12 years just waiting for the moment she could say HA!

    Fuck off.

    I actually would pick him up...I usually only pick up hitchikers with backpacks, as you do get some dodgy looking folk up this way wanting a lift...I was heading north a few weeks back and picked up 2 hitchikers...
    They were 2 German girls, of Thai descent...

    @booboo I agree with you but after seeing the photo I'm not sure I'd swerve to avoid him if he was on the road let alone stop if he was on the side of it. What a cretin.

    His glasses are quite similar to mine.

    Thank fuck my vision is correcting itself as I get older and I have contacts in the meantime.

    Too soon?

    Angelina Jolie sends her adopted kids back to Africa.

    --Stuff--

    Recently divorced mega-star Angelina Jolie has reportedly sent all 6 of her kids back to Africa. Even the ones from China. And also her 3 biological kids.

    “Biohazard, biological, I don’t give a shit, just get on that fucking boat!”

    The 6 tearful children have arrived in Botswana and been let loose to roam on a public game reserve. It is expected they will fossick for grubs for a bit before Jolie engineers a Hollywood happy ending for the 6 scabby little freeloading piston wristed gibbons.

    “We could walk to Cape Town?”
    “Don’t worry, drama queen princess fairy nuts will have some prick come and pick us up once her precious saturation coverage biometrics have been met.”

    There was some story about how Angie was upset with Brad drinking and doing weed too much. It reminded me of his cameo in True Romance

    Browsing the Herald and Stuff feels increasingly like picking up the Womans Day in the doctors surgery.

    Haha, alas, was a real life story with no sordid details, and no, not twins, just good friends, although one did have a twin sister back in Germany.

    Without the added bonus of fashion ( aka lingerie ) pics to perve at.

    Between reality tv stuff, celebrity stuff, and reader contributions, there is actually fuck all journalism on the site. When you see an actual hard news story or proper investigative journalism (like the articles on Teina Pora for example) it's a welcome shock.
