The Christchurch Earthquake is serious business and has had a huge impact on the lives of the residents, BUT: as with any news event there are peripheral political, financial and media fuck-ups that make up the bread and butter of this podcast.  So, with our full sympathies going out to the victims of this horrible event, let’s commence with the piss-taking…

This is a real billboard:

Obviously an astute and intelligent group of people here.  Today we bring a dose of historical context, plus the news that everybody who disagrees with us on this are awful people; FACT.
