From Kiwiblog:

Okay just got back from the march. Didn’t quite go as I envisioned. You see while I have promoted the march here, I’m not one of the organisers and my involvement was purely to stroll along at the back, and see how it goes. Not a large turnout (but around what I expected for a weekday in Wellington) and got to Parliament fairly quickly.

I heard what march there was got there fairly quickly too. Mainly rolled along by the prevailing wind.

So maybe the sky’s not falling after all Chicken Licken?

    It pretty much looked exactly like that but with more signs referring to fascism.

  2. THE Weybridge Digger 2

    Pissed myself all_ your_base

  3. stop…i can’t laugh anymore it hurts too much.

  4. the sprout 4

    clearly the masses are outraged at this grevious threat to democracy.
    oh no that’s right, it’s only the corporate elite and their stooges who don’t like it.

    “…the corporate elite and their stooges…”

    Are you being a parody left-winger? Are trying to be Rick from the Young Ones?

  6. Brilliant photo-shopping effort. A genuine moment of high humour at the standard. It will stand as a diamond in the big turd that is the rest of your efforts at being funny. Well done.

  7. Seamonkey Madness 7

    Yes, have to admit it, nice humour.
    The tumbleweed rolling through adds to it nicely.

    Pity you didn’t PS in the YL contingent though. Heh. ;)

    Nice photo. Yeah, there weren’t many. But I was still proud to march.

    Oh, and it seems section 55B9(d) will ban TVNZ from broadcasting political advertisements next year. Gee, its such well drafted legislation, isn’t it?

  9. The Double Standard 9

    Yup, nearly as funny as this one from Scoop

    Actually, it’s not that surprising that attendance is down in Wellington. After all, no-one who works for the state would risk their job by attending eh?

    Also odd that the hecklers were apparently masked. Maybe some of the Tuhoe stayed in town?

  10. Sam Dixon 10

    The counterprotesters were wearing John Key and Mr Burns masks to go with their satirical chants (money in politics, more more more was one I caught)… they took them off at Parliament and the joker who spoke gave his name.

    milo- drafting errors like that are really the fault of Crown Law who do the drafting.. it’ll be fixed in the readings, that’s one of the reasons we have subsequent readings.

  11. sam, shame on you. blaming fellow lawyers! that will get you baned from the friday biscuit club mate.

  12. THE Weybridge Digger 12

    No checked the link and the “standard’s” photo is funnier
    David you must feel like crap it must be like giving a party and no one turns up
    I hope there are some more planned the better news coverage the better

  13. The Double Standard 13

    I can’t help wondering how the war petition is going after all the outrage here? Last time I checked it was well behind the numbers wanting megadeath (or some other band) to visit NZ. I doubt it is higher than the numbers marching against the EFB.

  14. Lampie 14

    question- thats the Herald photo right? No wonder they didn’t have it on the website!

  15. Robinsod 15

    Bill you old sociopath – I see you’re back. Don’t you have puppies to torure or shotgun reviews to masturbate over? I’m surprised you’ve got the gall to post anywhere given your reputation. Oh and you see Whale can you ask him why the fuck he’s not suing me or the standard yet? It’s starting to look like he’s just a big lying fraidy cat.

  16. Robinsod 16

    Oh and DPF/Santa?dblstd – if you want to change teh topic how about we change it to the question of why you decided to use my wee joke as your new moniker. I mean it kinda looks like you’ve got a thing for me bro…

  17. tom-tom 17

    Beautiful – the march and the March Hare!

  18. Billy 18

    “I’m surprised you’ve got the gall to post anywhere given your reputation.”

    Yet yesterday you were imploring Robert Owen to continue posting, despite having been caught out in duplicitous double-dealing.

    Care to explain?

  19. The Double Standard 19

    Robbo – please keep your vile homophobia in check. Nothing relevant to add to the debate as usual I see.

  20. Leftie 20

    When is Megadeth coming to New Zealand?

  21. Nih 21

    Just after John Key apologises.

  22. robinnome is not to blame for his vile outbursts, the “left attack blogging for beginners” only covered how to wind up D4J. I wonder if you talk to strangers that way face to face wee man? Due to your being able to type I suspect not. Unless you have one of those drumsticks taped to your head and you are typing from bed.
    I guess thread jacking here is about the only place left for you now.
    Anyway back to the topic, it was indeed the funniest pic I have seen on a left blog, I am sure DPF is also having a chuckle as well. He is quite able to laugh at himself. self deprecation is a trait commonly found everywhere but the left.

  23. Also, organising a march to protest against the govt in WELLINGTON was not the smartest proposition.
    The whole place is populated by civil servants who could not take part and spotty kids working retail.

  24. shreddakj 24

    Okay this isn’t even funny. You realise you have no sense of humour at all and this is…

    I can’t even begin to explain how pathetic and childish this is…

  25. Nih 25

    Meanwhile magnetic money continues to be funny no matter what.

  26. Leftie 26

    oh and shreddakj gallops in on his high horse.

  27. r0b 27

    Well well, today, DPF flexed his political muscle.

  28. milo 28

    I wouldn’t write off the marchers quite so quickly r0b. And I will believe that DPF is irrelevant the day that The Standard and Kiwiblogblog close down.

    Actually, that’s an interesting question. What do you call it without DPF. Blogblog? And maybe The Standard would have to start posting its own ideas, and discussing those?

    Heh heh.

  29. thomas 29

    I’m not sure what is funnier the pic or
    I am sure DPF is also having a chuckle as well. He is quite able to laugh at himself. self deprecation is a trait commonly found everywhere but the left.
    Mind you if you are from Barnsley that would explain a lot

  30. I missed the Robert Owen thing. What was that about? Is this the same Robert Owen who shared the same IP address as Robinsod?

  31. Gruela 32

    I actually saw DPF one night in a nightclub in wellington. He bowled up to a group of young ladies (none of whom could have been over 25) and introduced himself. If I’d had a camera phone I could have taken that exact same photo not 20 seconds later.

  32. Nih 33

    So if farrar isn’t over here posting endless tirades and abuse under various logins, who is? That’s why we invented the word crony. So we’d have something to describe a tool used to act when you don’t wish to be seen as acting yourself.

    You’d think a “hard core libertarian” would be against banning people, particularly on a pretext. RobertOwen was mystified as to why he was banned until farrar decided he’d called him a “fat cunt”. I personally doubt it.

    Farrar himself defends redbaiter’s far more vile abuse under the pretext of being a libertarian and believing in free speech.

    So basically boo hoo, only farrar’s cronies can act like juveniles with a list of swearwords to work through. Glad that’s settled.

  33. milo 34

    Nih. I read it. You’re wrong. DPF is right. Is was a particularly nasty piece of abusive ill wishing. Grow up.

  34. r0b 35

    I was expecting something – you know – larger.
