well just once I'd like to post an image but: http://www.ravensbrew.com/images/kopiluwakmovie.gif
There, see, the civet looks happy. Or whacked out of its gourd on caffeine, or something. And the process is organic!

I think its important to remember what your mum told you: "If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything".
My friend Oliver used to say "If you can't say anything nice, come and sit next to me". One of the traps, I think, is that panning something can make for awfully entertaining reading.

Russell: Can Karajoz get some for the next Great Blend?
Prince Charles has got some. Stephen Fry gave it to him as a wedding present. That's what you get the man who has everything.

Or his principle is that the Government shouldn't interfere in NZer's family lives.
Copeland? Really? Guess it depends on your definition of 'family'.

I think Emma's nailed it for best question.
I also once nailed an Investigate reporter...
But it's what I was thinking when I was watching the media scrum. I wasn't thinking about what they were asking at all, I was thinking that if I'd been in the middle of all that I'd have been screaming for air. Focused on the process, because processes interest me, and I'd rather deconstruct the media response than the actual story they're responding to. But Che is right, most good, thoughtful questions aren't suited for standing in a pack screaming, and neither are most good, thoughtful answers.
I didn't mind the 'how do you feel' questions in this case. It's when it's more like; "You've just found your daughter's bloodied corpse hacked to pieces in your living room HOW DO YOU FEEL?" That makes me sick.

one question before being shouted down by the others, what would you most want to know?
How much would you like everyone to take one big step backwards?

Has it struck anyone that many of the "we went to random parties and drank far too much and we're OK" comments are very similar to the "I was whacked with [fill in implement of your choice] as a kid and I'm OK" anecdotes?
I had thought that the point of the anecdotes was that
a)binge drinking among teens is not new, and
b)when we were kids the drinking age was twenty, yet I celebrated my 16th birthday in the Old Bank.Oddly enough there aren't many mothers out there willing to share "I was f#cking like a bunny as a kid and I'm OK" anecdotes with their friends/daughters.
I have been asked how I'm going to bring down the moral authoritay on my kids considering my own teenage years. And okay, I don't have a plan, but I'm not going to tell them that having teenage sex is going to ruin their lives forever, because it's demonstrably not true.

Well, I'd rather look at pictures of his penis than listen to his music, that's for damn sure.
Wait - he's in a band or something as well?!
Women, raising the tone...

Best quasi-autonomous blog collective?
Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
Checking my comment count, I'm pretty sure I already have been.

Pfft. Best Blog? I mean, congratulations and all, you know I dig your site Russell, but Public Address still isn't a blog. Hard News is a blog.
