<< Porn King For Mayor >>

From porn king to the Mayor of Auckland: promoter Steve Crow is planning a move into politics.

Mr Crow is shrugging off any suggestion the announcement is another publicity stunt for his Erotica expo. He says he is serious, and has the qualifications to take on the job.

Mr Crow says he has been a merchant banker and run a number of successful businesses in tough industries. In that respect he says, he is no different from incumbent mayor Dick Hubbard.

Could it be worse than Mother Hubbard? Boobs on Bikes would have to be the most fun Queen St. has seen in living memory.

[Fishy]

Excellent choice, he'll get my vote. Cereal Boy can take a jump!.

[Searchin']

As eager as I am to see the back of DH, I can't see PK getting anywhere near enough votes. I would say he would know that. I think it's just grand standing - playing on the publicity.

[Dooly]

What a champion!!!!!:rockon:

[Swoop]

He's proven he has marketing ability...

Dickie. Tsk tsk.. have your office cleared out by 5pm please.

[Finn]

Well the guy couldn't do any worse could he?

[kro]

Auckland doesn't need gimmicks and publicity stunts, it needs a person with a suitable back-bone, who can make things happen. This Crow guy may or may not have the goods, who knows, he better make sure he knows what he's getting into.

[ManDownUnder]

I say go for it.

What little I know of his background he seems to have some of the credentials for it... I cringe when I see successful business types enter the land of the bureaucrat though. 2 completely different animals, and as soon as they try to do things they way they used to they get pushed aside or labelled a dictator.

[Finn]

Crow would get slaughtered by all the sandal wearing, tree hugging nah sayers. First we a Super Council to rid ourselves of the broken machine.

[dhunt]

Running an expo or two is very different to running a city. Remember the saying better the devil you know than the devil you don't know.

While it would be obvious that he would be in favour of lots more non conventional policies/events would they be to the benfit of the WHOLE city.

I.e An increase in rape/sex abuse cases etc wouldn't be that appealling I would think. :done:

Nor does running a Cereal company have anything to do with ruining a city.

[The Pastor]

Bring back jhon banks and the v8's! Woot!

PETROL FTW

[Steam]

He's lose because the mayor already has a porn name "Dick", and people would get confused who was the challenger.

[Pixie]

Mr Crow says he has been a merchant banker and run a number of successful businesses in tough industries.

And a lot of "Merchant Bankers" read his magazine

[Big Dave]

Porn king was a merchant banker! I love rhyming slang.

[NC]

Ack' U up wiffa atchit arry?

[Big Dave]

'Arry! Diamond geezer.

[idb]

And a lot of "Merchant Bankers" read his magazine

I've been banking since I was teenager.

Doesn't Michael Cullen lament the low rate of banking in this country...it's the patriotic thing to do.

[Scouse]

Bring back jhon banks and the v8's! Woot!

PETROL FTWFuck me thats the first sensible thing you have ever said since youv'e been on KB I'll even give you some bling for that

[Scouse]

Fuck Crow he is just a novelty act bring on John Banks

[Skyryder]

It was not that long a go a porn star got herself eleceted to the Italian Parliment.

Don'tt hink he's got a shit show.................but hey John Banks got elected once so who knows.

She's married to one of my favourite artists too.

[Hitcher]

I can't wait for Steve Crow's election slogan:

"Mayor or bust".
"Auckland's udder mayoral candidate".
"And you thought Dick Hubbard was hard to swallow".
"Coming in short pants".
"No muff too tough".
"Porn to be mild".

[Hitcher]

And a lot of "Merchant Bankers" read his magazine

The cumulative noun for bankers = a wunch.

[oldrider]

See saw, Marjory Dore, Auckland shall have a new master! (Nursery rhyme) So what! Nothing changes and costs escalate up and bloody up.

Meanwhile, Helen and her cronies have a brain wave to get more money in!

lets put levies (taxes) on fuel etc so the provinces help pay for the escalating cost of council inaction in Auckland.

I now have to pay for my council "and yours!"

Personally I do not mind paying for Auckland "action" but not for Auckland "inaction"!

The "City of Sails" is bullshit, it is the "City of Indecision" and now I have to pay for it, so I should get a vote on the outcome but I don't! You do!

If I had a vote on the money I spend in Auckland, I would rather vote for Steve Crow than for Hubbard and the bunch of wankers you lot up there have put in.

Get some balls and get rid of these freaking wankers and put someone in there that actually does something and make sure that they actually "do it!"

This has pissed me off since I lived there way back in the early sixties, it's a lovely city fucked up by bloody council morons, voted in by bigger morons! :shutup:

Rant over, give me a bloody vote, or give me back my money! :yes: John.

[The Pastor]

Fuck me thats the first sensible thing you have ever said since youv'e been on KB I'll even give you some bling for that

Actually zrxer, I posted good stuff for the 2 years before you joined kb.:whocares:

[McJim]

Fuck - 'e couldn't do any worse though could he?

I don't get to vote coz I live in Manukau but I have to put up with the shit coz the jobs are in Auckland - traffic - buses that don't work with drivers that don't give a fuck - no proper transport infrastructure, traffic lights that operate to cause maximum congestion.....at least with the new fella each traffic light will have a pole dancer hanging off it.

[R6_kid]

Might be of importance to note that he didnt intend to get into the Porn industry. It started of as a venture into the internet market when it was starting out in NZ, he wasnt a big player in the setup he was a part of at the time but it became obvious that the porn was gonna make some good money and the others got scared so he took over... and go rich.

Auckland needs someone real to take lead, tell the people at Western Springs to fuck off because the Speedway was there first, sort out the bullshit public transport system(maybe with some snazzy inticement?), fix the waste of time motorway 'ring' and all the other shit that the previous paper pushers have done.

[Pixie]

Unfortunately most aucklanders are wankers and that's why they vote their ilk into office.

see greenies,hippies, speedway noise complainers

[Scouse]

Actually zrxer, I posted good stuff for the 2 years before you joined kb.:whocares:So what happened after I joind to make you post mostly crap then anyways I'll give ya yer due's you were right on the mark with John Banks for Mayor

[John Banks]

Vote me for mayor!

[Maha]

The ironic thing is...if Mr Crowe does become mayor......:rofl: (sorry)
Then he will become the target of abuse from all rate payer's and non rate payer's. Can anyone tell me, who think their mayor is the best thing ever?
Fuck that for a job....Crowe should not 'dick' around with such insane idea's, way out of his depth, plenty of other 'dick's' to do the job.....:done:

[Lou Girardin]

Resurrect Robbie!

[Maha]

Resurrect Robbie!

Now ya talkin' Lou... a man foresight.....not a foreskin.....:rockon:

[John Banks]

Can anyone tell me, who think their mayor is the best thing ever?

[Scouse]

[John Banks]

Are you all farkin nuts???????

John Banks is the only suitable person in this country to run as leader of the opposition party.

But do be warned, for if John Banks ever became Prime Minister of this country, there would be some unbelievably huge changes and restructuring going on, including:

Day1: Taito Phillip Fields - Pack your bags.
Labour ordered to repay all the taxpayers election overspending.
Corrections department/Social Welfare management under review.
Herceptin drug made available to Breast Cancer Victims
No further cash donations to terrorist group Hamas.
Arkmid Zaweed - Instantly Deported.
The Kahui tight 6 - All arrested and jailed.
TV3 Commentary - Permitted full house viewing rights.
God defend NZ & God save the Queen anthems to be played in schools.

[Lou Girardin]

Invercargill. Tim Shadbolt.

We had the wanker in West Auckland. Invercargill is still not far enough away for him.

[Dafe]

Vote me for mayor!

Don't waste your time!

Run for leader of National. You'll be the Prime Minister next election!

Don't know him very well do you?
He's the tosser who promised 900 new cops, then merged MOT with the Police.
And everyone fell for it.
He's just another full of shit pollie who's yearning for snout space in the public trough.

huh? how do you go from "some porn impresario wants to be mayor (but oddly at the time he makes the announcement he has a show to promote)" to "therefore rape and sex abuse cases will increase if he is elected".

Even if A follows B (which I do not believe would occur in this scenario) that does not mean that A caused B.

Hardkore!

But you forgot the v8's and awesomeness stuff relating to cars.

At least he likes cars / stuff with engines in em.. Sure hes not ideal, but no one is in this crazy world. But v8's got my vote.

[Lou Girardin]

Don't know Zsa Zsa. He does come in from time to time.

WHAT !:gob: Are you sure ? No-one told me :angry: I suppose that explains why the calendars have all been wrong the last few years.

:shit: Now what am i supposed to do for the rest of the 20th century?

[Swoop]

True. Mayor of the Auckland Islands is still too close...

Neither is Bluff.
See above.

Unfortunately john banks (NO. not the KB version...) proved his worth as minister of police and MP for Whangarei... a waste of space who likes the media and believes his own press releases.

He's not even a biker, he's a bike owner. His Harley wasn't stolen, it took off on it's own because it was so bored at never leaving the garge.

John Banks was infact regarded for his old fashioned approach to Policing.

John Banks has never agreed with the lowering of standards to fill the quota.
He never agreed to being PC and allowing 5 Foot 0 officers walking the beat, nor did he want the standards lowered to allow a lower mental standard.
Banksie always wanted the bar to be met. The only way he could provide 900 cops was by increasing salaries which unfortunately for him, never came.
But, Once he was gone - The standard was lowered and hence you have the many drongos of today.

One thing I don't like about him........

He doesn't appear to like rugby. And he'd rather spend money on providing healthcare than on hosting the next RWC. But no, not everybody is perfect.

Yes, He would also rather spend money on a V8 round. Probably money that would otherwise be destined to hero parades. Thats part of why Banksie is the man. He is a man of morals/ethics. Raised in tough circumstances and always a thinker for himself.

C'mon site cops. He's just fed you a great intro for MOT bashing.

Anyhoo. Banksie was the retard who flew into Aramoana after the action was over and instead of tightening measures to deal with loonies with guns, he effectively banned MSSA's.
He wasn't pro cop. Like many of his type, he wanted the macho cop image to rub off on him.

[The Pastor]

Ok everyone, I have an idea, vote for me in the next election. I'll cut spending (as if we need health care or benifits) and spend it on cars guns and women. and whats left over for auckland city.
