I’m not affiliated with these guys at all, I just think that these t-shirts are fantastic. I just knew there were people out these in NZ capable of producing this kind of irreverent smart-arsed stuff.
Many of you will be familiar with “moustache-gate”, but for those of you who aren’t, Paul Henry is an often funny chap who co-hosts a breakfast show over here.
He also called this a “silly little blog“, which, compared to some of the other things it’s been called, is fairly complementary.
Henry got himself into some hot water last week for reading, on-air, some viewer feedback on an interview they’d done with a lady from Greenpeace who had a bit of a shadow above her top lip.
To see the source of the controversy, watch it for yourself.
Anyway, there’s been the usual uproar, the special-interest namby-pamby fundamentalist-PC mumbo-jumbo kind of carry-on (apologies to Mr Gormsby). It’s all been pretty amusing, made even better by Henry’s refusal to apologise for anything.
Anyway, I just have to get one of these t-shirts. Well done to the Mr. Vintage crew.

You should really draw a moustache on that model, I’m surprised she doesn’t have one already ;)

Bugger it, why didn’t I think of that?

“This video is for New Zealand viewers only.” Now if it were being sold to TV channels around the world, I could understand why they’d block overseas viewers. But something as parochial as this? Delusions of grandeur methinks.

Paul Henry is is a WHucking WHag. I mwet hiom on a flight to Aussie and my impression of him is to shake my head in dismay and think, typical naive kiwi idiot

Ken – that’s a pity, but it’s a TVNZ on-demand clip. You often find with those sorts of things that they block IP addresses from other countries.
Adrian – You might be right, but judging from his on-camera persona, at least he’s not like most of the other typical boring drones on the tube here.

I’m not interested in the Tshirt – but I like the contents.

Admin, I know it’s blocked for rights reasons. My point was that it was so parochial I don’t know why they would bother. I can see the point of confining Hulu to the US, or the BBC’s iPlayer to the UK, because those countries’ broadcasters sell TV programs around the world, but TVNZ? Delusions of grandeur.
