A news anchor in New Zealand reads viewer mail making fun of a recent female guest's mustache. It's funny 'cause he's a dick, and it's funny 'cause of Flight Of The Conchords (aka "the source of most of what I know about New Zealand). We have Bill O'Reilly and they have this guy:
Murray would not approve.

Carrie Prejean turned the video camera off, put on some clothes, and stepped out of her house. It was a beautiful day outside. The air smelled like apples, and the late morning light hit the world in just such a...

Uh. OK. Well, first let's address what this movie did well, like the disappointed parents we are (or at least that I am), recognizing that the negative feedback won't be useful or constructive if it isn't preceded by something positive....

Don't you see, New Zealand! It's exactly what they want! Stop sending emails, and the intentionally acerbic morning show hosts will go away!

I love that he just totally owned it. His co-host was calling vile and everything and he just laughed. Then went on to talk about it more. Yes he is an asshole. That's just kinda his style. Plus it's obvious that his role on the show is resident asshole and he's playing it up. The difference with O'Reilly is that he thinks he's actually a great humble everyman "just lookin' out for the folks." Which makes him much more of an asshole. This guy is half way between O'Reilly and Colbert's "character."

dis is affensive. my momma had a mustash and she dead now. dis is not funy. take dis off or else.

She obviously doesn't care what people say about her if she GOES ON TV WITH A MUSTACHE. So who cares if this guy read a few letters from people pointing out the obvious? She's a lady. With a mustache. On TV. Them's the breaks. He's doing her a favor. Maybe next time SHE will shave HER mustache before going on national TV.

he's really nowhere near an equivilent to O'Reilly. then again, new zealand television is nowhere near an equivilent to fox news, so, maybe he actually is.
Score = 2

I apologise on behalf of all New Zealand assholes, and wish to assure you that Paul Henry is not indicative of our assholishness.

And yet in two posts you all will turn this same invective onto an inoffensive group of highly rehearsed Israeli entertainers. Your trite little high school chic criticisms and your faux outrage are boring. Good work Lindsay. Gabe's gone for one day and the site jumps the shark twice. Better do some more posts about amusing monkeys or The Room. Everyone be sure to pile on and rate me -1000 or whatever. It won't stop the soothing balm of your groupthink from stinking up the web. Done.

The worst part of this is not that Paul Henry is a Grade A d-bag (he is, though). It's not even the fact that the state owned station he's on has allowed him to carry on saying shit like this for years, no matter how repulsive. The worst part is the amount of people who adore him for being a "straight shooter". People bow at his feet for getting up at 5 in the morning and being a dick to as much of the population as possible.

He's a real life Alan Partridge, and that lady next to him is his Glen Ponda. Though if Glen Ponda had a mustache, so she'd actually need to be a lady with a...nevermind.
