Labour's happy NZ family is American
Quote:
The Labour Party's happy New Zealand family in its new taxpayer-funded Budget advertising is actually American, it has emerged.

The photo, from the US iStockphoto library, shows a couple with a young child outside a weatherboard house and costs about $20 to buy.
ZOMG MEGA SCANDAL OF THE HIGHEST ORDER!!!!!!1 Not even KIWIS!! What's more, Labour Govt only spent $20 on it instead of being irresponsible with taxpayers money and spending thousands on a professional photo shoot! TARRIBLE!!!!

The potentially embarrassing discovery was made by blogger Skinny who contacted the Herald this morning.
...who promptly put it in pride of place on their website. Because this is just fucking earth shattering news! Next thing we're going to find out is that the photos of hamburgers McDonalds has on the menu don't actually look like that in real life!
'Potentially embarrassing' Right. Great. Can't you decide if it is or it isn't? I mean, if it is embarrassing then have the balls to say so. If it isn't, then it's not news worthy of printing!
