I’m very surprised that Luxon the God botherer will even allow this to happen, my temple shall be a house of prayer and all that.

We can’t deny the greedy big boys/girls anything. The adverts must be allowed. The Business God will not be mocked! We are bowing, unctuous numbskulls and wouldn’t know how to enjoy Christmas anyway. Ads can brighten up dull lives and minds and help people get together festively mingling while they shop for wonderful and delicious things at special prices not to be seen for another year, or tomorrow on Boxing Day anyway. And it’s environmentally beneficial as each household doesn’t have to have a
Christmas tree and messy tinsel, and then if they can’t afford it anyway, look at the splendid displays that can be set up at shopping malls which would be nicer than their own garages or other hovels.

There are a number of good ideas that you can use you promotion workers, and present them as your own at the coming Christmas action meetings. Feel free.

In reply to Sleepy H. Unfortunately rat f**kers like Hipkins banned sustainable native forestry, so pine forestry (or eucs if you're a pervert who enjoys coppicing) is the only option.

I don’t like it, but maybe it’s because most people identify as godless atheist consumers.

Am I the only person who notices that even during these ad-free times we still have ads?
The advertisers pretend that advertising the media themselves isn’t real advertising, and therefore allow it.

Why does the NZ Public put up with this? Sheer stupidity?

No ads should have always meant NO ADS.
Now we are getting what we deserve for putting up with that crap – full ads at all times.
