I don't get why people can't understand this concept.
Louis CK explains it pretty simply though:

Yeah um he's pretty clearly just a witness. That's what the police said. Also, pretty much any political blog with ad clicks and all NZ's major media outlets have profited from the disclosures resulting from this crime.

Yeah, oops. I got that totally wrong. Was actually kind of looking forward to see national vs patent trolls, though. (Reply to nzlemming. Man I suck at posting here, back to lurking :)

Seems like the company suing the nats is a patent troll. I'm torn! On the one hand... Hilarious! On the other hand... Patent trolls are the worst. Either way, national are going to lose that battle.

I listen to OFWGKTA and I don't believe for a second that there is any malicious intent in their lyrics nor any ulterior or underlying themes trying to encourage people to hate on gays.
Obviously musical taste is subjective but for me this group of young kids, who have done it all them selves out of bedrooms in California, are producing some of the most original hip hop I've heard in years.
I first heard Tyler on bfm (the track "Yonkers") and had to pull over to listen and look up who the hell it was - in this day and age of a constant barrage of new media in every direction it was a great feeling.
By the way OF's DJ Syd tha Kid is gay.
I really think we have to give more credit to today's "youths". They have grown up with the idea that there is nothing wrong with being gay, and that you can use the word as a playful insult without malicious intent. Yeah it might be wrong but it is what it is. you can't stop people from using slang....anyway Louis CK can articulate that thought better than me.

Quite heartening to see the Your View comments on this story are overwhelmingly in favour of legalisation and regulation of cannabis.
