Folks we may have reached peak Ferald .
A fat chick goes into a shop in Taihape and buys a headband, the shop owner who doesn't know who Adele is or what she looks like reckons it's her and the Ferald actually make a story out of this.
http://m.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=11848709
What gives that story away is the concept that not only would Adele and her entourage think stopping in Taihape was a good idea (other than to go to McDonalds or get a photo beside a gumboot), they supposedly stayed the night in Palmy!
Now for the old fella in the story Palmy may seem to be an exciting metropolis but why on earth would anyone else?There's a McDonalds in Taihape?

The best thing about the maccas in Taihape is that the cops use it as their cafeteria. When travelling back to Welly from the mountain you check out the maccas to see if the cops are in there having a feed. If they are you know the road is clear as far as Hunterville (the Bulls cops patrol up that far)

I didn't really bother ready the article but I was pleased that Hager got eviscerated in the comments section

@MN5 more on this burning issue...
Particularly like this comment "He said if someone had walked around a corner and seen that, they would have been "pretty horrified"."
Um, yeah, I'd be, er, um horrified, yeah, that's right, horrified alright!

@taniwharugby who knew horrified meant "frantically rubbing one out"?
-
As she is rather fine, 'horrified' is not the H word I would have used.
Fuck I wish this story would die. It's embarrassing having all these old political wheezers chipping in on something that is such a storm in a tea cup. She didn't go parading down the main street of town, or wander the walking track naked. She whipped her top off for probably a few minutes on the edge of a mountain.
If people want to talk offensive things in areas of natural wonder, let's talk rubbish left behind by fuckwits.

Seriously though, are "society's" views on nudity regressing? Or are the minority getting smaller but louder?
This "story" almost perfectly encapsulates everything I hate about both modern society, and modern media. A complete non-issue is discovered from Twitter. Someone contacts an academic who sees a chance to feel useful for a fleeting moment, so tut-tuts (while telling us how a bunch of other people will feel). The story grows, so other minority groups who desperately need some attention dive in to get their name in the press (ie some DOC ranger, the fucking Hindu statesman?, WTF?), it's slightly salacious, so mums also get to tut-tut about their kids and shit. And the facts get twisted a bit, so now it's a commercial and they should have had a permit.
No you fluffybunnies, some chick had a photo taken like thousands of other people, only she's hot, and naked. So the media are given gold. The outraged will click, and blokes will click to look at the hot chick, and the editor shows his sweet traffic stats for the month, and sells another ad.
I fucking despair, seriously

This. So much this. I have to say, my first thought at the quotes from the academic were, oh here we go, someone up for tenure review soon. The DOC ranger just sounded like a 70-year old virgin, and as for the Hindu statesman, fuck off, sir. This has literally NOTHING to do with you.

@mariner4life and what if she was wearing a tiny as G-string, not visible in the image, that would have been ok!
-
@taniwharugby no it wouldn't! Nude or nothing!! Free the flaps!
-
@mariner4life haha Imeant for the frigid brigade!
-
@taniwharugby on top of the mountain, there is a very good chance the flaps were pretty frigid...
-
@mariner4life mate, your comments offend the mountain, it isn't its fault it is cold up there!

For a second I thought the mountain had moved to the disgusting shithole known as the subcontinent.

@antipodean big mountains spiritual home belongs to Hindus, or nearby.
