The boycott that lied...

**Ronin** · 30th June 2011, 13:02

Do I care about what happened to 2 innocent kids? Yeah.

Do I really need or want to hear anything else about it, least of all from those involved? Nah

If I were a book seller then I would have a troubling time selling this and making a profit off it. But to those that can, good on 'em. Free world and everything.

See, what I can't figure out is, does Ian Wishart expect us to take what Macsyna King says as gospel? Does he even take what she says as gospel?

If he doesn't (as I would suspect anyone with an ounce of intelligence doesn't) then of what value is the book other than the profit that will line Ian Wishart's pocket?

What did you honestly expect here?

Honestly some people on the internet expect it to to be so much better than the real world. Fuck knows where they get that idea from. Same people, same shit, different medium.

If they had said ANY profit from the booksellers and publishers was to go to a children's charity and no-one else would be making a cent would there be such an outcry? Is it really about the truth or is it about making a quick buck?

Yes, same outcry. It was started by some clever slanting of the trooooths on facebook, and escalated from there.

People were / are not interested in the facts about her being paid...they made their stance early in the piece after hearing she would recieve monies.

Urban Legend stuff almost...and an example of the new era of FB Marketing.

It will be just like "Once were warriors" but with the names changed.

Is Christine Rankin retarded as well?

She thinks everyone should read the book because she thinks there's a whole lot of us that don't realise these sorts of families exist.

I think the entire New Zealand public were made abundantly aware of the trash that exists in our country right from the first day that this whole abhorrence errupted.

Regardless of whether she is paid or not, the fact that anybody is making money off this is sick.

A boycott does not infringe on free speech, it's a product of it. You have the choice to buy the book or not.

Yes and the bashers are the ones who won't read the book, let alone an Internet forum, because they can't read.

Stop pissing off the people who get it and have formed an opinion based on the deaths of two babies and go foster some kids from Tokoroa.

You are quite right....some of our bookstores will Not Buckle to the mob, and will make the book available.

And Nope, Im not going to read it....but im looking forward to some critical reviews of it - and if it does have any 'relevant' detail not yet published by the general media circus.

And as posted or linked earlier....new testimony came out today, King at one stage is said to have admited guilt....?

Being Angry about two babies being murdered doesnt seem to have stopped others from continuing the abuse.
Perhaps we need more than blind anger.?
