    This is sort of off topic but the media is a bitch. They will stretch stories way beyond what they really are. The media talked the whole world into recession, just so they could have stories for miles (think how much it has given them to talk about for the last 18 months!) .suddenly it says on the news that we are out of recession [yeah right] to boost peoples confidence into buying more etc. Now they are loving this motorcycle story ["yay, something to talk about, lets show a pic of a crashed motorbike, even though more car drivers died, then people will go tsk tsk those damn motorcyclists"]. And i cant stand the bullshit my girlfriend watches on E! channel, a whole company devoted to bitch about people when 50 percent of the stuff is not real. "oh brad still txts jen etc etc". lol. media rant over
    Thats whats up.

    Sensationalist? Yes. If you recall the big fight between the two Auckland high school rugby teams a couple of months back ... TV3s coverage that night was the footage of the fight with slow motion replays of the best bits. TV1s coverage was discussion of the incident with a couple of rugby officials. Good example of the difference between the channels.

    Yet TV1 led into the road toll with the Bike picture and another image that suggested the bike hit a car...

    This time TV3 were the objective example

    Oh well

    Bloody paparazzi (Ixion better look out he will have scooters following him into tunnels!!!)

    You're doing it wrong.

    Saw a dude on a 650 Bonn'ie do a mint stand up wheelie up through the car park at Puke couple of years back. No helmet either. It was fucken cool.
