The Nude Blacks

Tourism Dunedin informs me:
Nude Blacks provide perfect pre rugby entertainment in Dunedin
19 June 2010
Dunedin’s Nude Rugby International took place this afternoon between the Nude Blacks and the Welsh Leeks in the lead up to the last All Black test match at Carisbrook.
Fourteen naked players competed in front of a curious crowd of 300 at Logan Park, in the shadows of the under construction fixed roofed stadium Forsyth Barr Stadium at University Plaza.
Event organiser Ralph Davies from Head first Travel said “Unfortunately, the weather was fine for the game.”
“We prefer Antarctic southerlies and about three degrees just to challenge the players a bit,” he said.
The match between ‘The Nude Blacks’ and an international team was refereed by Former All Blacks Richard Loe and John Timu Past referees have included ex All Black Josh Kronfeld and a blind referee.
As with most years there was the obligatory fully clothed streaker who was escorted from the field by a nude policewoman.
Only in Dunedin!

I see that TV3′s Nightline is in the gun now for showing full-frontal, unpixelated coverage of the players in a item on the show.
Vote:A new all-time low in broadcasting standards….
June 20th, 2010 at 4:50 pm
James,
Vote:I’m sorry, but your comment is “pathetic” itself. You’re not serious are you?
Or are you one of these types that think everyone should be dispensing with clothes and wandering around naked?
That’s part of the problem with today’s society – no sense of the sacred and profane, and no sense of modesty.
June 20th, 2010 at 5:24 pm
I was shocked when I watched a news segment on a nude rugby game, that there was footage of naked people playing rugby. It’s an absolute outrage!
A church friend of mine lets her six-year old daughter stay up to watch Nightline, as she is the natural target audience for this timeslot. The girl is now severely traumatised from brief glances of the nude male form. She would need counselling, if counselling wasn’t just PC mumbo-jumbo. My friend has left her in the care of the Brethren Church, as their track record for taking care of children is unsurpassed.
Nudity in any form is absolutely disgusting. Clothing was not created by God for warmth or protection from the elements. According to Genesis, it was created because Eve sinned, so mankind forever must be forever ashamed of their bodies.
These rugby players are worse than the Pacific nations who historically tolerated toplessness amongst women before being saved by the church. They are as bad as the godless African tribes who still wear think nothing of exposing the female chest.
I will not wait for TV3 to be judged in heaven, the time is now for the BSA to act, on God’s behalf.

If you ask me it just makes the rugby players job easier… I mean they’d have something to grab onto in the scrum right?

But is it OK to voice disapproval, or would you ban that??

“These rugby players are worse than the Pacific nations who historically tolerated toplessness amongst women before being saved by the church”
Excuse me? you must not know scripture as well as I do, Adam and Eve were perfectly naked in flesh under the eye’s of God. Their sin caused them to feel ‘embarassed and ashamed’ at the site of each other’s flesh.
Why don’t you tell me something useful, does sin come from God or from Satan?
What this shows us is that it is our sin that leads us away from purity and naked flesh, disguised as ‘civility and decency’.
Your child is better off reading scripture, the nightlight news bulletin will not educate her, this I assure you of.
Vote:June 20th, 2010 at 6:55 pm
Anything that family first are against I am a supporter of.
Until Bob McCoskrie laid a complaint with the BSA I was ambivalent about nude rugby, not anymore.
I want to see much more of it on our TV screens, preferably between teams made up entirely of hot chicks.

I doubt it Comrade, not unless you are one of the aforementioned “hot chicks” with a rack that blocks out the sun.
Even though I despise family first I am still of the opinion that kids are best raised within the family, no doubt you think that is the job of the state.
However….I could be persuaded otherwise if you wear an item of clothing that has a little white tag with the letters DD or E

To all the religious people:
Looking at that doesn’t make me lust so what’s the problem?
The naked human body isn’t evil.
I have no interest in watching people play rugby in the nude, but neither do I judge them for wanting to do so.
Time to step out of the dark ages.
BTW, the Nude Blacks won. Hooray!

That’s funny coming from someone who has hounded D4J for months with the same stupid question.

Have you got a daughter bruv? What’s your problem?

Comrade Redbaiter
The ‘problem’ is that it is none of your business, I could answer the question but there is far more fun to be had refusing to do so knowing that it drives you crazy.
There is nothing hypocritical about the questions I keep asking D4J (interesting that you rush to the defence of a fellow bible basher), I suspect that I am funding his legal defence and as such I have a right to know.
I also suspect that D4J is of the opinion that it is the states job to fund the kids of estranged fathers when the courts do not allow those same fathers access to their kids.
If the angry Cantab is funding his entire legal costs by himself then I will stop asking, if that is the case then it is none of my business.
Vote:As for the child maintenance costs, well all I want to do there is expose D4J as the hypocrite he undoubtedly is, he claims to be a conservative and a right winger when he is more than happy to pass the cost of raising other peoples kids off onto the tax payer.

You know nothing about my family circumstances and I suggest big blouse you shut your wayward mouth. Get some treatment with your pathological hatred you fat slob gutless creep. You make me laugh miss wimp. Be warned yellow one – stop talking shit about my family. You are vile filth blouse, dirty low sewer scum.

“it drives you crazy.”
Why would it drive me crazy Bruv? I get a smile from seeing your pathetic liberal bigotry exposed and witnessing your frantic hopping about every time it happens.
“have a right to know.”
Oh, so what applies to my question doesn’t apply to yours. How typical.
C,mon Bruv, you’re big talking here on how you enjoy ogling naked girls. In terms of the discussion, asking if you have a daughter yourself is a perfectly legitimate question. That you’d write all of this bluster (your trademark) rather than answer it is a sign you know you’ve already made a fuckwit of yourself.
Vote:June 20th, 2010 at 8:25 pm
blouse – you keep slandering my family situation, which you nothing about, then I might stop laughing. I am a conservative right-winger and I can tell you if you’re right-wing then I’ll vote to crown Miss Klark Queen of New York. Go get some treatment you deranged nutbar.

“Why don’t you tell me something useful, does sin come from God or from Satan?”
Well, Fale, that’s an interesting question. To answer your question, I need more information: is this hypothetical God omnipotent and omniscient?
I’d say Bruv’s got female relatives, Redbaiter. He’s unlikely to enjoy ogling them, presumably having the normal sexual aversion to family members, but it’s hard to tell as to whether he’d have a problem with them being ogled.

Go away Malcolm you mincing little fag. I doubt you’d have any children and I’m not in the least interested.

You’re the one who made it personal. As usual.

Go ahead and dodge the question. The same one you’re demanding BB answer.

I’m not saying that the naked human form is evil or bad – of course not. But there are reasons we wear clothes in civilized society. Can you imagine if everyone were naked – close your eyes and imagine Auckland on a Friday night. Now, how many scores of rapes do you think there would be by morning?
The human naked form is very sexual – men, in particular, get turned on by it. Tell me it’s not true (not that I’m saying the naked rugby players look like they would elicit much response from anyone in that regard).
But still, there is a reason girlie magazines are wrapped in plastic and put on the highest shelves away from children.
I would posit that anyone with half a brain wouldn’t want to expose their kids to “Richard and the Twins”, especially when it’s supposed to be a news programme. It’s just – wrong.

@Fletch
If people were naked all the time we wouldn’t find the naked body such the sexual form you think. We may look for a day or two and then become desensitized and it would lose most of it’s turn on factor.
The reason we wear clothes in public in this civilized society is for warmth and protection from the elements and because of the threat of fines or imprisonment if we don’t. Not to prevent rape.
Should we start covering up womenfolk’s hair and faces as they can also be very sexual and turn men on?
