Well the bottom should definitely fall out of the housing market now, everyone will leave to live in France or who ever ends up winning the World Cup

I imagine that certain people will be worrying about their jobs now.
Hopefully this means that people will stop flying those fucking mastercard allblacks flags from their cars now. |

All those flags will be gone.
I imagine a few smashed windows will happen too as people try to get them off ASAP in frustration/anger. |

Frankly I can't believe it. It's because we are trying not to lose rather than trying to win. When the score got close (even though we were still in the lead) everyone around me started to panic and I suggest the same thing happens with the ABs. |

While I am seriously gutted about the game, the general vibe in the NZ media is nauseating yet entirely predictable. Worst was at the end of the news on TV3 tonight, they played a slow-mo montage (montage!) of the crying, dejected ABs after the final whistle, to the strains of, get this: Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms.
It's the only laugh I've had all day.

Said to my missus yesterday something along the lines of "wouldn't it be hilarious if we lost to the French, in the quarter finals, and not even make the final?"
Saw the headline this morning, and started laughing like a muppet. Saw that picture of McCaw blubbering away, and laughed even harder. Yes, I laugh like a muppet. At least I don't cry at press conferences Its not like we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, more like we heard from a mate that the jaws of victory were really scary, and went and had a cry in the corner. |

The media narrative is that "all of NZ" is upset by the All BlacksŪ choking,
they seem to have forgotten that a) not everyone cares about rugby or sport & b) even if they do, that doesn't mean they support the All BlacksŪ |

O ok...... NZ is depressed because the NZ Herald says we are....right.
We keep hearing in the news about the national depression... I don't see ANY evidence of this apart from in the news. Maybe if the Herlad tells us enough times that we are depressed, we will become depressed... ? |

I have trouble finding articles in the Herald / Stuff that I actually beleive to be credible these days. Most of it is made up.
