The Facebook movie trailer has been released. Yup, you heard it right. There’s a movie coming out about Facebook and it’s titled “The Social Network”. Wait, don’t leave! It actually looks like it could be an interesting movie with a gripping story full of back-stabbing and … more back-stabbing. From the trailer, with its soundtrack [...]
Officials are funny. They’ve officially made an official website for the Auckland Council and have said that, officially, you are not allowed to link to it.
Australia is well known for announcing what should be New Zealand’s claims to fame as their own. Russell Crowe, that racing horse, some other stuff. The list is memorable and endless. But last weekend’s World Cup football match for New Zealand just takes the piss! New Zealand is rightfully basking in the glory of what, [...]
(UPDATE TO THIS POST: I FOUND THE CAR! SEE THE END OF THIS POST FOR DETAILS) This morning, my wife called me to ask me if I’ve moved her car. Questions like this spark immediate concern! Yes, my wife’s car was stolen last night from right outside our house. Ok it was only a 1992 [...]
Think of the New Zealand armed forces and hopefully you think “peace-keeping”. In the absence of no one hating New Zealand enough to attack us, our forces have been involved with various humanitarian and peace support operations from Tonga to Afghanistan.

Following on from our last post, here’s a fantastic video made for the Greun Transfer TV show in Australia.
On this show, ad agencies are tasked with creating an advert for something you couldn’t advertise. In this case, it was invading New Zealand.
I know this video has been around for a while, but this website hasn’t! So shuddup.
John Key, Prime Minister of New Zealand, appeared on the Letterman Show and listed the top ten reasons to visit New Zealand …

Christchurch Mayor, Bob Parker, is right now cruising around the streets of Christchurch on the top of a horse-drawn tram. Beats the Pope-mobile any day.
Hotel So have a new company car for their bar staff.
Ok not really but while I was taking photos of the Christchurch Sky Lens, my cousin, Doug, called me and said “Meet you outside your office. Grab a camera.” Then rocked up in this great motor!
Doug is currently tasked with driving this mean machine around Christchurch while passing out flyers for Hotel So saying “Why taxi when you can stay at Hotel SO”.

This is reflective of a lot of marketing today. Businesses need to stir up some interest and give people a reason to make contact. We can pick and choose what interests us and block out anything that doesn’t.

Have fun, Doug. Don’t go using your cellphone while you’re driving that thing.
