Mike Moreu from Stuff hits it on the head again.
I’m going to buy one of his books…

Bluebaiting
It all started in that little place called Kiwiblog…
What began as a backhanded swipe at a trumped-up little prick caught the attention of the famous Redbaiter who quickly replied.
So I decided to have some fun with a small troll.
Dirty Stuff
Took a copy of this list yesterday morning, Stuff’s Most Read Articles:
1. Eva Mendes’ nipple too hot for TV
2. Eva Mendes strips for Peta (explicit image)
3. Eva Mendes’ nipple too hot for TV
4. Nude Anne Hathaway pics seized by FBI
5. Student shocked to star on club’s loo-cam
6. Spice Girl traumatised by ‘Sex’ film
7. Were Brangelina’s twins pics touched up?
8. Olympian to bare all in fur protest (explicit image)
9. Alarm as pregnant mothers stay svelte
10. Inside NZ’s biggest leaky home project
Kind of concerning that there’s only one actually non-sexual/non-metro story in that list and it’s about Government House! And it’s at the bottom! (hehe… bottom)
Balloon vs. Camera
From BoingBoing:
William Lamson’s art-project is delightful: a helium balloon artfully positioned so as to blind a CCTV. This could be a lot of fun for real-world shenanigans or for a piece of fiction. Just got to hope for a windless day.”
CCTV vs Helium Baloon
Cool, but in the comments is a much cooler story…
In the UK we have long been playing with ways to disable CCTV. We have had people use climbing equipment to shin up poles and cover them with black plastic bin bags. We have experimented with running up a daisy chain of helium filled mylar balloons on a collar around the post and I even know of one instance when a couple went along to a car in full view of the cameras with one of those cans meant for holding small amounts of petrol, poured it all over a car in the street and stood back laughing and lighting smokes till they heard a siren and diligently started a random act of kindness and washed the car with the water they had poured over it. Street theater still has the best style.
THAT IS AWESOME!

Narrow Collision
A woman was watching the late news when a breaking news bulletin comes on:
“There is a car currently driving the wrong way up a Wellington highway. People are urged to stay off that road until the situation is resolved”
The woman, knowing her elderly friend Harry Spencer is on the road tonight gives him a call on his cellphone in advance…
“Harry, look out, the news said there’s a madman driving on the wrong side of the motorway! Be careful!”
“One madman? There’s fuckin’ dozens of them!”
King of Cartoonists
I always enjoy reading Stuff catoonist, Mike Moreu’s, work. Funny, relevant and poignant. Lots of jokes about politics but even-handed when dishing out the hurt.
You can see his gallery here and he also writes a blog on Stuff called Tooned In which is interesting for a look inside his head.
Conservapedia: The Biggest Joke on the Internet
The other day I had the misfortune of stumbling across Conservapedia, obviously the conservative and religious answer to Wikipedia. Since then, I’ve become more and more drawn in by it. Browsing Conservapedia during my lunch hour with a mouth full of food, occasionally stopping mid-chew to reflect on the brazen ridiculousnes of it all, is a common sight at my desk.
So I decided to share the choice cuts of awesomeness with thou, gentle reader, so you can save yourself browsing the toxic mess and go straight to the gold. So without further fuss, “Top 10 reasons to blame Democrats for soaring gasoline prices”: Continue reading »
