It was a joke

by Whaleoil on March 31, 2009

Come on, you didn’t really think I would go soft and take a gov­ern­ment posi­tion did you? Or quit blog­ging? Surely you didn’t think that National would do some­thing sen­si­ble in mt Albert like run Don Brash? There also isn’t a Dairy and Fast Food ven­dors asso­ci­a­tion for so thre wouldn’t be any appoint­ments there. Though I am not sure that the Worth sack­ing was a joke….might have to wait on that one.

Today is April Fool’s Day and boy some of you are just hys­ter­i­cal. THe emails and voice­mails fea­ture some very pow­er­ful and con­nected peo­ple who fell for it.

Plenty have pranks have been played;

  • DPF teased us all with the sug­ges­tion that Cullen was the going to be the new Gov­er­nor of the Reserve Bank
  • The NZ Her­ald had a story about Microsoft buy­ing Apple
  • Cameron Brewer, the nice guy from the New­mar­ket Busi­ness Asso­ci­a­tion put out a press release call­ing for Auck­land to go one step fur­ther and declare them­selves a republic.

We’re effect­ing advo­cat­ing for a two-city model for the region – the Super City of Auck­land and Newmarket.

The New­mar­ket Busi­ness Asso­ci­a­tion had advised Local Gov­ern­ment Min­is­ter and local MP Rod­ney Hide of its inten­tions. Mr Brewer has just returned from a study trip to Whang­amomona – a remote Taranaki ghost town that has actively pro­moted its con­sti­tu­tional inde­pen­dence over the past 20 years.

  • But per­haps the best April Fool’s trick was the done by The Stan­dard where they annouced that they were out­sourc­ing their infra­struc­ture off­shore and pay­ing good money to Amer­i­can Cor­po­rates for the host­ing of their site. They even bagged local host­ing com­pa­nies. It surely must have been a joke because Lynne, the guy with the girls name, has pulled the post. Surely they wouldn’t aban­don Kiwi work­ers and busi­nesses over few pal­try shekels.
