    @booboo I'm not sure how anyone could be offended by the Richie ad. His wife is ten years younger and a high performance athlete who played a very speedy game. Of course she's going to have more zip.

    reminds me of a bit in Ricky Gervais' Humanity

    I meant to thank whoever that was that recommended "Humanity" (on the TV show thread I think). I figuratively laughed my cock off.

    Re the offensive to men thing.

    I reckon that's a bit of a piss take.

    Male characters in adverts are often the fall guy, especially in comparison to their significant other (in a heterosexual relationship ... smart woman/dumb guy).

    If it was the other way around (or if said fall person was of a minority) I have no doubt some feminist (or minorityist) would be offended and lay the equivalent complaint.

    I'm guessing complainant is pretty much on the wind up. And good on him too. Us middle aged white guys have a pretty thick skin and don't generally mind a bit of ribbing. Probably down to our privilege.

    And do any of you see the irony in being offended by someone complaining about this?

    Deciding to take offense to a joke about men is a pretty idiotic response to feminists and SJWs trying to shut down any ides that might offend them, especially if you're trying to get an ad that a business invested a lot of money into pulled off air.

    Honestly, this idea that people can get authorities to punish anyone that has apparently offended them is fucking pathetic. These people just need to grow the fuck up.

    I'm annoyed by these people, but not as a result of a perceived insult against me. I just think they are scumbags.

    Kind of my point Mokes. I doubt the guy was offended. Merely making a point/taking the piddle.

    Wow. Found myself almost cheering while reading this article in the Ferald.

    www.nzherald.co.nz/opinion/news/article.cfm?c_id=466&objectid=12039421

    Now, if only we didn't have the sad situation that by evening time on our two major newspaper websites, the narrative of the (ANZAC) day has already disappeared into minor links and the headlines are their usual vacuous crap about minor 'celebrities'

    It annoys me immensely that my Grandfathers fought for a fluffybunny like that to have freedom to spout such vitriolic bullshit.

    Fuck her.

    Yep. Could have just ignored it. It's a tweet FFS. MSM is dying, and this is a good example of why.

    Ok I have to ask, is the Herald maybe getting better?..at least compared to stuff?

    They've actually been critical of starbright too even standing up against sexual assault coverup. Low standards I know but still.

    Yes and no.

    I like it that the writer has ripped into her and highlighted her stupidity so that other idiots like her may rethink their positions.

    Edit:
    The final paragraph in the article. Even the writer considers the oxygen he has handed back to her.

    In short, Deveny is at best a fool. More likely she is a cruel fool. She hardly even deserves the attention I have given her here but this column is not for her, it is for all the servicemen and women whose sacrifice she besmirches.

    The worst thing about fucked up comments like that bitch made, is that instead of them falling into the abyss of ignore where they belong, they get amplified and amplified and she struts around as the main talking point instead of the amazing and courageous veterans.

    Anyone who hijacks ANZAC Day for any purpose other than honoring sacrifice and service, is on my hate list forever.

    I've seen that woman's tweets in the past. Her entire feed is a litany of weird, nonsensical bullshit. She's genuinely unwell, I really don't think giving her any oxygen is a good thing. All of her tweets have basically no likes/retweets, but plenty of comments ripping her apart. So it's not like anybody even agrees with her on anything, so why is she news?

    As @nzzp says, mainstream media is dying.

    I not sure I understand what she is trying to say but if I have it right maybe she is the one that needs education around the assembly and use of the Maori Battalion within the ANZACs
