Duncan Garner – a test pattern for stupidity
What the living Christ is this new nightmare?
Taika Waititi labelled ‘treasonous’ for saying he isn’t proud of New Zealand
Broadcaster Duncan Garner has called Taika Waititi “treasonous” for speaking his mind on New Zealand’s environmental woes, concerning suicide rate and lack of affordable housing.
Waititi, this year’s New Zealander of the Year and director of the soon-to-be-released Thor: Ragnarok, told Marae he wasn’t proud to be a Kiwi when so many problems appeared to be ignored.
Stuff columnist Duncan Garner delivered a punchy editorial against the director on The AM Show Thursday morning. He called Waititi “treasonous” for voicing his concerns on the nation’s state of affairs.
Firstly, Taika is 100% correct for highlighting our environmental hypocrisy, our shameful suicide rates, our disgusting child poverty and our outrageous homelessness.
A patriot of NZ is prepared to stand up and criticise our hollow lies. To attack him and call his truth telling ‘treasonous’ suggests that Duncan doesn’t understand what the word ‘treasonous’ means.
I think this can be easily resolved by sending Duncan Garner a dictionary.
This desperation to remain relevant by brain farting out offensive crap about people prepared to be honest about the facade of our culture is being fuelled by the poor ratings on The AM Show and being controversial is supposed to drive those ratings up.
I hope it will create the opposite effect.
Taika Waititi is a national treasure and as New Zealander of the Year has a responsibility and obligation to speak truth to power. That he is showing real leadership by speaking up should be applauded and saluted, to attack what he is saying as ‘treasonous’ is intellectually embarrassing sophistry that is beneath Taika’s mana.
Can someone please do an intervention on Garner? This is getting embarrassing now.
Duncan garner is a moron simple as that.
he has desended to become as despicable as a cockroach!!!!
But he was for a week or so back, actually moderating himself two weeks ago.
But since ‘SS Joyce’ (master natz propagandist) took his brain out and put it in a blender, Garner now talks nothing more than half recogisable riddles.

Speaking of entitled middle aged white men, can someone make Richard Prebble a cyanide sandwich!
Why do the N.Z. Herald publish such shit?

Actually there is not much wrong about cockroaches. They do a bloody good job, like all rubbish cleaners. Garner is something else.

That’d have to be a Guyon.
And following that, Julie Crusty could do one on Mark Richardson
Duncan Garner has no business being on a supposedly serious news program or talkback radio. I have yet to see him display anything beyond primary school levels of education (or intelligence), which is a major problem when you’re being paid to interview people from all walks of life and provide (informed) opinions on local and global affairs. Something like The Edge radio station would be a better fit for someone of his intellectual calibre.
It is patriotic to strive to improve ones country. It is treason to undermine those who would see New Zealand flourish. Garner is sadly misguided in his criticism of Waititi
+100 Great Post!
“I think this can be easily resolved by sending Duncan Garner a dictionary.”
“Oh my god!” starts Duncan Garner’s Facebook status update. “Someone sent me this really strange book. The main characters have really odd names like Noun, Adjective, and Verb, they spend their time explaining what words mean, and the whole thing is written in alphabetical order. I hate it almost as much as Kmart and that dark and stormy October 19th.”
Post political correctness – Garner correctness.
Actually cockroaches are useful and generally harmless. Dunno about Garner…
The long parade of fools is coming to an end. They can see their social entitlements coming to an end ,… and soon ? ,… it will all be ending for them.
The people of this country have spoken . And ANYONE who try’s to rehash the same old neo liberal formula that kept them in clover and privilege will be blacklisted in the media as being undermining the peoples decision.
Watch them turn in on themselves , – while those who are wiser align themselves quickly with the incoming Labour / Green / NZ First govt. While those too slow or too stupid to adapt will be left behind , … and considered quaint relics of a time that once was. And unpopular relics at that.
As for ratings?
They better up their game and start getting with the program or they will be falling even further.
In case they haven’t realized , we have now entered a totally new era in NZ politics and the remaining neo liberal supporters left will be viewed more and more as dinosaurs , – of a very , very malignant destructive nature.
Taika can identify where the problems are here in New Zealand, where as people like Garner/Hoskins/Gower etc from MSM live in LaLaLa Land ?
These guys continue to preach to us dumbies the way things should be as prescribed by the New World Order and the people who are running this country like John Key, Bill English & Steven Joyce ?
