Munden's Bar

On Close-up just now, the presenter, Mark Sainsbury, started the closing segment by saying :

"Last night we launched a blow cunt for Shelly...."

Context finally made me realize that what he meant by "blow cunt" was "bloke-hunt". Only he dropped his aitches. :)

Classic example of religious stupidty on television this evening. A member of the Exclusive Brethren church said that he, and other members of the church didn't vote, and that the reason for this was that government came from their god.

But this was in the context of them admitting they are responsible for the anonymous leaflet drop encouraging people to vote National. He said they were doing this because they didn't like what was happening in New Zealand.

The leaflet drop was specifically designed to convince people to vote against the incumbent government. In other words, they were trying to change the current government. The government he had just said came from his god. Thus, he is acting against his god by attempting to change that government.

Actually, you could tell even he was beginning to realize the stupidity of what he'd just said as he reached the end of it!

I'm not surprised, but I am amused, at the hypocrisy of effectively saying "We won't vote, but we'll try and get you to vote differently!"

Surely if they were really trying to follow their own teachings they should be trying to convince more people not to vote at all? That way their god would be allowed to choose the government with less interference from humans! :)
