The headline:
Oi Rawiri, why not just grab $30. each off those "million maori"?
Or is that number just another piece of bullshit from the racist piece of lying shit that you so obviously are?
I bought a new pair of scissors today.
I need a good pair because they are the only thing I know of that gets you into the hard plastic sealed packs most things come in nowdays.
I have a couple of items still sealed just waiting for me to get new scissors to replace my old ones lost in the big shift.
I look forward to finally being able to open those packs with my new sciss..............
OH!
The people checking supermarkets are checking the wrong aisles.
Everyone knows that the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the innocent public - worldwide - is chicken-wings.
Selling previously thrown away bits of skin and bone in double the amount of batter (the only taste), pretending it is premium food and charging accordingly to deliberately skinny people was the work of a genius.
Previously recorded music held the number two spot, wavering slightly with electronics but hold on simply through the me-too factor demanding the perennial stupid keep buying god-awful noise simply because it's "new".
Previously recorded music cemented it's hold on the number 2 spot by demanding you paid for from 2 to 12+ pieces in order to buy the one track you wanted.
The only recorded time when the second track was worth the purchase was when the Uglies (Uglys?) put "Ugly Blues" on the reverse side of (I think) "It's All Right".
But now there is, in New Zealand at least, a challenger.
I refer of course to the liquid being added to meat by retailers who then seal meat and (water?) in plastic and charge the liquid at the same rate of the already grossly-overpriced meat.
It ain't just Supermarkets of course, I've seen examples at the local butcher, the closest meat retailer (Northwood, Belfast) and last week, at Verkerks, the small-goods outfit on Vagues Road, Papanui, Christchurch. Verkerks smallgoods, particularly their salami and European-style sausage, remain excellent.
This water-at-meat-prices fraud is not going to surpass chicken-wings but it's pushing recorded music very close indeed.
