    Its funny we live in a world where a limerick about trans identity, a movie review that goes against the grain or support of a US president can get you banned off of social media..yet this cretin is totally fine to pedal literal death.

    @raznomore I see today Tremain has previous with a cartoon published referencing Louise Nicholas' sexual assault with a police baton.

    He really is a fucking moron. I don't think theres much "un" in his conscious bias.

    Firstly to be clear - I think that cartoon was naive, horrible, stupid and some seriously introverted thinking was applied in order to write, and subsequently publish, it.

    But it seems quite a few are peddling the "racist" line. And that actually annoys me just as much. It's many many things, of which none are positive, but it ain't racist.

    @MajorRage I think for a lot of people throwing that around, racism, probably lack the understanding to differentiate between extreme arrogance and not racism.

    I like your description that it was introverted. That’s exactly what it is. There was a thinking there that this wouldn’t get that far and it catered to a very small readership.

    In the article you can search for your suburb to check what the vaccine refusal rate for under-fives is.

    @Bovidae good on the community trying to get rates up. Sad they had to suffer the loss of that 7 year old girl to spur them to do it

    I don't know a lot about how papers are run but wouldn't there be someone who has final say what gets printed? Cartoonist made a bad joke but it isn't his job to determine if a joke is bad or not, his role is to be funny/edgy/entertaining. He missed the mark here but the responsibility should fall on the ODT and its disappointing to see that they seem to be blaming the cartoonist .

    The editor has apologised twice in the paper now , unfortunately various cucks and bullies have latched onto this to use it as an excuse to raise their own profile . The Spinoff as usual has the worst take and here’s their contribution to the pile on https://thespinoff.co.nz/society/04-12-2019/i-thought-nz-had-changed-then-i-saw-the-cartoon-making-fun-of-samoan-babies-deaths/
    Whatever .

    I didn’t realise Tremain is almost 80 years old .

    I can't imagine what kind of weirdo would want this but @mariner4life has probably already emailled her asking when they are bringing out a Monica Belluci scented one .

    Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop is selling a vagina-scented candle, and it's already sold out

    Gwyneth Paltrow has done it again, folks.

    Gwyneth Paltrow has done it again, folks.

    The 47-year-old actress and serial lifestyle entrepreneur found another way to shock the world with the sale of a vagina-scented candle in her online Goop store.

    The candle, provocatively named “This Smells Like My Vagina,” will run customers a cool $75 and boasts a fragrance packed with geranium, citrusy bergamot and cedar, according to the Daily Mail.

    Apparently the idea for the candle, made by Heretic, originally started out as a joke.

    As the product description reads: “This candle started as a joke between perfumer Douglas Little and GP -- the two were working on a fragrance, and she blurted out, ‘Uhhh ... this smells like a vagina’ -- but evolved into a funny, gorgeous, sexy, and beautifully unexpected scent.”
