| 179952 | 2003-10-03 09:19:00 | Did anyone here see the Max Media comic featuring a pane about this issue, I think it was in last weekends Weekend Herald. Somehow I'm reminded of that picture by parts of this thread... |

| 179953 | 2003-10-03 10:12:00 | I know I should probably just keep my mouth shut but... Good on him, I say. There's not enough satire in the media anymore, everything has to be taken seriously. And to everyone who has a problem with it, GET OVER IT! "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone". Mike. |

| 179954 | 2003-10-03 10:33:00 | The line I liked best in this whole farce belonged to the Uni guy calling for Holmes' resignation. He was asked what he thought of Holmes' apology. Moment's pause then - " I believe he was genuinely moved by his own words" Nuff said! |

| 179955 | 2003-10-03 10:58:00 | How can anyone take Holmes seriously - after seeing him driving the tractor a week or so back. The guy is seriously touched! Maybe his postate gland is in his brain |

| 179956 | 2003-10-03 16:44:00 | PC - as in 'politically correct' is a nasty bit of double talk that has taken on and done the world no good. Of course it is better to be non-racist, non-sexist, non-violent. What a strange thing it is that people get labeled as PC in a derogatory way for having some values in world that needs them. Racism is not a symmetrical thing. One culture has colonised and dominated another. We are in a historically unusual situation of doing an OK job of repairing that in New Zealand. Holmes knocks that in many ways, not only with his racist humour about Kofi Annan, but also with the other comments he is being caught out on abour New Zealand situation. We do not need this racist humour in NZ. |

| 179957 | 2003-10-03 20:19:00 | > We do not need this racist humour in NZ Exactly. You might have seen that the Herald reported (www.nzherald.co.nz) that Holmes' television program breached broadcasting standards in a report about Maori land issues. If you read the article, you will find that Holmes himself changed the part of the program which was inflamatory. Therefore Holmes is not just racist against Annan, but also Maori, and I'm sure that if you see any sense, you don't need this to prove that. |

You can hardly point the finger at Paul Homes for one quick comment. Heck our country even allows prostitutes now -which is a far worse offense IMHO. |
