why?? Some things just aren't meant for social media!

there has been a heap of them recently. Video of toddlers trying to wake up their dead/passed out druggy parents. Who the fuck films this shit? What the fuck is wrong with people.
Humanity is fucked.

I'm guessing shock tactics. Like the then successful AIDS campaign here in Oz. Or road safety campaigns.

Moving on from the earth shattering news that Hillary prefers TV3 coffee for a moment.....
Is there anyone more deserving of an unsuspected head butt or punch in the face than Mike Hosking?
Yes.. lots of media people.... top of my list are Jeremy Wells and John Campbell
-
@Baron-Silas-Greenback I don't really have a view either way on Wells, but Campbell is def up there for me!

On the theme of the thread title (yes, I know, it's radical)..... Stuff even managed this article the other day
All these years and all those farts and I never realised that eating ripe smelly food created ripe smelly gas inside me. Imagine if these news folks weren't around to educate us.

I reckon the jury in the Gable Tostee trial is leaning toward acquitting him. They've leaned heavily on the judge for instructions the last couple of days. I think its quite telling that the judge gave two affirmations which seem to work in GT's favour. First, the judge affirmed that GT removing WW from his apartment onto his balcony (from which she almost immediately jumped) constitutes him removing her from his home. Second, the judge affirmed that words are not physical force when it comes to the question "did he use excessive force in removing her from his home" (at one point he allegedly said something like "I should chuck you off the balcony you goddamn psycho bitch").
To me it looks like the jury is leaning toward acquitting him and they are working through the concerns of the holdouts, so that they can get a unanimous verdict.
Fucking gripping stuff huh? Tostee is a douche, no doubt, but WW was nuttier than squirrel turd. Murder would be a travesty. Manslaughter still on the table.

@Tregaskis It seems like a classic case of "We find the defendant Not Guilty your honour, but we still reckon you should find some minor punishment for him for not being entirely clean either"

@Donsteppa
haha yeah he is a giant turd, but I don't think he murdered her, doesn't the very definition of murder require pre-meditation and I would expect direct involvement, ie actually pushing her??Surely manslaughter woulda been much easier to prove, but I guess they had their reasons for going for murder?

I think they're considering both murder and manslaughter.

@Donsteppa I guess that comes down to the reporting of it again as most of the NZ Media I have seen talk about the murder trial??
