Alternative needed from the absolute crap of stuff.co.nz

<p>"celebrity" is definitely a relative term in NZ. When they did that god awful celebrity treasure island show I had no idea who the ones who weren't ABs or Kiwis actually were. It seems being one of the final contestants on a music talent show and subsequently being on TV for a few weeks is enough for one to be "famous"</p>

<p>I think the most shocking is that a news reader got her tits out on TV in the 80s, and kept her job. I think that is the least New Zealand thing i have ever read</p>

<p>Why the hell is a sports show retweeting this sort of stuff about Welson after his resignation?</p>

<p>I can see the humour in that. I suppose it is like when I scratch my head when Jon Key does something rather innocuous and there are howls of outrage purely because he has spoken about something</p> -

Getting back to stuff, a year or so ago they put up a link to the show so you could check out her jubblies. -

<p>I am not sure how it is like that? I get how she is trying to be funny, but that joke is old.. and was not really that funny to start with. To me it is just a snide way of insulting someone... and not an original one.</p> -

<p>Are you part of the permanantly outraged but on the opposite side of those that despise John Key?</p>

<p>It's a bit of a nothing tweet that you have highlighted</p>

<p>I'm off to get some popcorn and sit back and watch this interweb kerfuffle but I'm unsure what it's even about ?</p> -

<p>Oh I agree it isn't a big deal. I don't think posting on an internet forum in a thread about shit media is exactly egging it up. If I was demanding CGW get taken off the air, and Moa be prosecuted.. and I (and the outraged otehrs) spammed social media with it.. then yeah.. might be the same.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I just think it is an example of more shit media in NZ, in this case a sports show getting involved (repeatedly) in left wing politics.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And I dont think the joke was funny or original.. just snide nasty shit.</p>
<p> And it was certainly not IMO comedy gold.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My care factor is above zero, but only marginally. So is yours though,.. as you are posting about it as well.</p> -
<p>I agree with BSG, The Crowd Goes Wild should stick to sports and not try to be opinionated or political on unrelated issues. If Mulligan or Rigor wants to re-tweet that sort of stuff, go for your life, but a nameless person behind a company is pretty pathetic. Even if I agreed with what they were saying, it is unprofessional and my respect for them drops.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Do they care? Probably not, but they aren't helping their own ratings when they alienate viewers with their political bias.</p>
