I *thought* I read Chuck Norris! But by the time I came back to the article there was no mention of it. For a while there I wondered if I imagined it.

You be goin' cray-cray, Dusty.

Actual serious matter? Or has Stuff ramped up their internets reporting to 11 for this story and made it more damaging than what actually happened? Master password? Swaths of Vodafone customers accessing other customers accounts? Or someone on a forum exaggerated a little and stuff got a hold of it? I'm not sure...but it'll be interesting to see the outcome.

Next up, virtual reality headsets will let us travel the world wide webs information highway and allow us to hack people's computers using green lines of code while we wave our hands grabbing the datas.

Nuh-uh.
 

It's not a motorcycle, baby. It's a scooter.

It's not a fucking Porsche. Not all sporty looking cars are Porsches! I emailed these dropkicks to tell them the it's a Nissan 350Z and they've actually updated the article since it was published yesterday. But did they correct the error? NooooOOOOooo!

Idiots can't tell their vehicles apart.

NZ Herald apologises over Jackass photo blunder

"Wallabies weary despite ABs losing Dan Carter"

oh autocorrect

::facepalm::

front page featured article byline: "Rebecca Jacques is in agony and may lose her job after theives stole her spinal cord simulator."

The correct word 'stimulator' is used in the actual article, and 'thieves' is not mentioned....

Credit where credit is due - I liked this one:

Mobil will not be prosecuted after a landslide caused 1.2 million litres of jet fuel to spill from a tank in Lyttelton.

The landslide happened during a major storm on March 5, damaging two fuel tanks at Mobil Oil New Zealand's tank farm at Naval Point in Lyttelton.

About 1500 litres of fuel went into Lyttelton Harbour through a drainage system before sandbags were put in place.

I dont get it. 1.2 million litres spilled, but only 1500 litres of that went into the harbour.

I'm sorry I must have missed the part that said there was an envoy of petroleum gnomes ensuring that every spilt drop made it's way over the harbour into the water?

There is a fair chunk of land between the slip, tank and water.

I don't think you realise how it works. Take this link for example.

Ok - aside from the "crack down" bit, I was wondering how big this plant needed to be to facilitate such activity. Turns out it is an area of bush, not just one tree...

One for CCS...
 

Headline caught out of the corner of the eye : double take required...

muahahahahaa

Yep, dirty minds think alike. I got a whiplash from that one.

What a difference a letter makes. Turns out it's the Hall of Fame.

Go home nzherald you're drunk

Bruce's new apartment.
And here was me thinking he was Irish...

Armed gunmen? One supposes the other, does it not? If you're a gunman, then you're armed. If you're armed, then you're a gunman. It's enough to say one or the other without hyping up the term for melodramatic effect.

Only is you're armed with a gun - but I agree with you, it's a hyperbolic use of language which was unnecessary.

Pixie

Isn't that a common way of saying it? Im sure all news outlets (print, radio& TV) say that.
Armed = armed with a weapon.
So using armed, then you require gunman.
Yes, you could use gunman by itself.

In terms of it being in this thread...

If you've got guns but no ammo - are you armed?

Common? Yes... one might even say it is a cliche.

Don't be a sperg.

<shrug> Hell man, you've met me. You KNOW I can't really help myself.

Herald still suffering stupid fucking headline syndrome

"Pilot saves passengers by dodging lightning"
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news...ectid=11431206

The very first sentence:
"A pilot saved his passengers with just seven seconds to spare after his plane was struck by lightning and went into a steep dive.'

original article headline:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/avia...lightning.html
Pilot averted disaster with seconds to spare after plane hit by lightning

no idea if the headline was made up by the herald or if the telegraph put that headline on their news feed

Another classic Herald Headline:


Mind you, it then goes on to explain it further. But Still. Fuck you Herald

I think I found part of the problem with stuff...
 

While making a complaint to deputy editor Janine Fenwick about paid content not being tagged as such, this is the start of the reply i received

"Paid content on the website is always be marked as sponsored."

Imagine being charged over a charge. What a good thing it's just the NZH up to it's usual shittery.

Apparently the subtle difference between 'earlier' and 'later' is too much for the Herald.

Apparently wasps make honey now.

Actors amazing mugshot? Well for one its not amazing, and two, there is no mention about the mugshot in the article
