New Zealand-brand cigarettes

[McJim]

Mad - just saw on the news that some Ciggies branded with a silver fern have been withdrawn for "Not promoting New Zealand's clean image"

First time I came here (2000) I was flabberghasted at the huge number of cars per person.
I was amazed at the sheer number of cars with engines > 1.4Litres.
I couldn't believe my ears when I heard that New Zealanders still believe the myth of Nuclear Power stations being environmentally damaging.

For goodness' sake - I personally don't have a problem with the fact that New Zealand pours pollutants into the air via it's ageing Coal, Oil and Gas power stations like it's going out of fashion (and that Kyoto is merely an anagram of Tokyo) or that you love you evil smelling muscle cars or that you have the highest level of vehicle ownership in the world. Just don't lie and tell the world you're green and environmentally friendly okay

I don't go around denying my past alcoholism do I?



this good humoured rant was brought to you by McJim enterprises - spouting shit to make people look at themselves properly since 2006.

Yeh I don't get it... they don't do that many sporty little hatches over here... I used to drive around in fiesta 1.1s and metro 1.0 cars... loved raping the shit outta those little engines.

What I'd give for a decent condition Golf MK3 1.6 GTi...

I don't believe this. A lot of people don't, but we have spineless leaders who wont even have the debate about it. Nuclear Free NZ is a phallacy anyway.

Ciggies with fucking silver ferns on them? Makes me proud to be a New Zealander that does!! Seriously though, the real reason NZ is 'clean and green' is because there are sod-all people here. I see countless asswipes in cans throwing crap out their window while driving, and have a close look at the amount of rubbish on the majority of Aucklands streets and motorways. Effing pig sties, that's what they are. And don't get me started on the bleedin' useless recycling system. Why can't we be tidy, eh???

First time I saw serious hard core litter was on a bike trip in the South Island.

The green imange comes from the ammount of grass and trees we have compared to other citys. The clean image comes from our love of showers.
