Today’s Dim-Post
The best comedy and satire about the election is online. Danyl has some gems today:
- While speaking to a small group of army medics in Waiouru John Key announced that Dr Lockwood Smith’s plane has been shot down over the sea of Japan
- The Green Party held a photo opportunity at Pauatahanui estuary in Mana electorate at which co-leaders Russel Norman and Jeannette Fitzsimmons pitched Green fiscal policy to a thick film of marine algea.
- New Zealand First leader Winston Peters met with police detectives and the Reserve Bank to discuss his plans to stimulate the New Zealand economy by printing more money; the detectives have confiscated a Macintosh computer and two color printers from New Zealand First offices.
- Maori Party co-leader Tariana Turia announced that the removal of Tin from the periodic table of elements would be a bottom line for any coalition deal with a major party.
The sad thing is that Winston’s monetary policy is not very different to the above!

As far as satire goes, I particularly liked this one from The Standard.

Ah, but the one for Peter Dunne was the best, I thought:
“United Future leader Peter Dunne proposed suspending GST charges on krill, sea urchins, molluscs and crustaceans. With over 150 thousand strands of hair per square centimeter Dunne’s fur is the most dense of any major party political leader; the fur consists of long waterproof guard hairs and short underfur. The guardhairs keep the underfur dry.”
Classic!! And while not funny, this was also brilliantly sublime:

Yes Toad Asians have smaller hands just as melons are cursed with tinny craniums.

Not after Turia has tin removed from the periodic table.
