When I first saw this clip of Paul Henry publicly ridiculing Greenpeace’s Stephanie Mills for (in his view) having a moustache I decided not to give it any more oxygen. But now that it’s on the Herald website I guess the horse has bolted. There’s nothing else to do now but call for his immediate sacking.
There’s no excuse for this kind of behaviour. Paul Henry made a choice to read out that email, and he made a choice to publicly ridicule Mills. He also had a choice to realise that he’d fucked up and apologise, but he chose to keep on digging.
Perhaps Henry did it because Stephanie Mills has different beliefs from him, maybe it’s just because he’s a jerk. In the end it doesn’t matter. This kind of shit has gone on for far too long.
Here’s TVNZ chief executive Rick Ellis’ email address – rick.ellis@tvnz.co.nz
Send him an email and tell him to Sack Henry Now.
Update: Anita has wisely suggested you may also want to cc some of TVNZ’s morning advertisers.

What the fuck has happened to the lemons in the supermarket under this National/Act government? They’re hard as rocks, grown for appearance only. You can’t get any bloody juice out of them!
I swear I haven’t had a decent lemon from the supie since November 8th.
Sack Henry ? The All Black coach ? Are you craaaaaaaaaaazy ? Before the World Cup ? How do I keep the punters, er .. rugby lovers .. happy ?
“Everyone is saying ‘Don’t read them out.” This is when his tiny Remuera shitebag brain should have told him THEN DON’T READ THEM OUT. But because Henry’s an arrogant moron, he went right ahead and did it. Sack this infantile little microbe right now. What amazes me is that it took this long for everyone else to realise the man is a complete and utter tosspot.
