‘The owner of a car dealership giant has labelled trademark rules around the use of the words All Blacks as “ridiculous” after his staff were told to change a message supporting the team.
Founder and chairman of Giltrap Audi Colin Giltrap criticised the regulations enforced by the New Zealand Rugby Union this week.
“It’s bloody ridiculous – absolute stupidity. I’ve never heard anything so stupid in my life,” he said…
………The International Rugby Board, Rugby New Zealand, Ministry of Economic Development and local councils across the country have been working together to stop non-sponsor brands getting free publicity through association with the event…’ source
But it’s just fine for people to be inconvenienced and for taxpayers to underwrite the costs of this event in order for the IRB and Rugby New Zealand to make a profit..
Thieving, totalitarian bastards.

Too complicated for PC idiots:
Interesting times…
‘..The market is writing down the value of the world economy. Right across the board. It is making a judgement on what they think the future is worth. By recent numbers, not much. Not just because policymakers have gotten it wrong about the “root cause” of terrorism, or the Euro; but also about “Too Big To Fail”, population policy, multiculturalism, a crippling environmentalism and Global Warming, to name a few. The financial, national security and educational systems of the world are in utter collapse because they are stuffed with lies, which even when they are shown to be obviously false suck up trillions of dollars in their pursuit . And nothing will turn the global elites from continuing their ruinous path until they have spent the last nickle and dime they can lay their hands on. Certainly not the media…’
Richard Fernandez
John Key’s economic strategy? Hope China doesn’t stop buying.
Bureaucrats–a protected species:
‘Fat cat Brussels bureaucrats are threatening to strike over plans to make them work eight hours a day – because they say it will wreck their ‘family life’.’ source
European economies are in deep trouble, even as EU regulations are imposing huge additional costs on doing business. And these clowns object to working a 40 hour week!
Australia’s own racist gravy train:
‘..Perhaps more indeed should be taught about the National Sorry Day – including the committee promoting it. For instance, children should know that a co-patron of the committee, Lowitja O’Donoghue, claimed to have been stolen as a child when she was not. We should also teach children that so hard is it to discuss the truth about our past that the entire nation held a sorry day for Aboriginal children stolen from their parents for racist reasons, even though no one has yet been able to name even 10 such cases.
Teach this, too, about an industry of victimhood:
Even the then Bracks Government’s Stolen Generations Taskforce, chaired by Aboriginal spokesman Jim Berg, conceded there had been “no formal policy for removing children” from Aboriginal parents in the state. Indeed, while the Taskforce could find 36 organisations helping the state’s “stolen generations”, it could not find one truly stolen child, even though it ran advertisements pleading for them to come forward…’ Andrew Bolt
There are dozens, probably hundreds of similar organisations here in Australia and in NZ, riding on the back of white guilt and taxpayer’s money, making a damn comfortable living out of racist claims and largely imaginary problems. And no politician has the guts to call them on it. Offices, salaries, government cars, meetings, seminars…..the cost must be enormous. And they can’t point to a single effing achievement.
Unions: Bleeding the carcass
‘Meet Dennis Gannon, poster child for public employee union greed. Jason Grotto of the Chicago Tribune lays out the amazing tale of how the bankrupt city of Chicago (which received a billion dollars of stimulus money to pay its bills) is providing a lavish retirement of a union boss, through manipulation and the help of Democrat pols
…..and aptly symbolizes the con game played on taxpayers by the union-Democrat cabal that dominates Illinois and too much of the nation…’
and HERE
public skools
No class.
But there’s a good explanation.
is it penis-envy, politics…. or stupidity?
‘With a proud history stretching back more than 900 years, change is not something that comes naturally to the Lincoln Cathedral Choir.
So it is not surprising that traditionalists are aghast at the news that a woman is to join the main choir for the first time…’
Why the hell do some women insist on barging in to where they’re so clearly not welcome? You don’t see men trying to force their way into women’s organisations.
Kiwis probably think the 1st Amendment is a rock group
‘There are more than 1000 books that you will never be allowed to read unless you leave New Zealand.
Many are of a sexual nature, deal with violence, horror and crime and have only been read by one person in New Zealand – and that person decided they shouldn’t be available to the rest of us…’
And yes, before some lame-ass troll points out that NZ has no such thing as a First Amendment, we’re aware of that. But we know such a thing exists and that it ought to be at least a standard to aspire to.
