Adventures in talkback

I'm really, really enjoyng the Newstalk ZB reaction to those three hippie looking do-gooders who were found Not Guilty despite their having admitted to the offence.

The concept is taxing some fine minds out there. Although I heard two of the offenders on the news last night, and dagnabbit if they didn't make some kind of sense. Anyone know if they mounted their own defence? I can't be arsed looking it up. Epic "Succeed" if they did.

Meanwhile, another fine mind is complaining about a headline that says "Hunters gunning for Iwi" or something. He thinks they're literally stalking him with firearms & intent. When it was explained that the hunters had said no such thing & it was exuberant journalistic rhetoric, light seemed to dawn, until he realised "Wait a minnit, that's even worse!".  At one stage he was asked to explain his point, he said "I'll explain my point all right, it's, it's... different to his!."

Right oh.
