1186710 2011-03-16 19:32:00 Its top news because Canterbury is the home of rugby in NZ and we all know Christchurch carries the lack of talent in the rest of the country.

But seriously, I think the news coverage around CHCH has been excessive for those in other centers, was thinking last week the rest of the country is probably getting a little tired of constantly hearing about CHCH.

As for the world cup, I think its a realistic and predictable decision. I think rebuilding broken homes and business is far more important than a sports stadium, even considering the loss business from the cup not being here.

Surely the Japanese nuclear disaster is far more important!
Am I the only one with this opinion?

Also a decision in think everyone new was going to happen

Empathy and good old common sense (brains) are different :(

Emotion runs our media.

The lack of understanding of irony is strong in this one.

You really do need to keep up when someone is being ironic or sarcastic you know.
