Moral behind murals
Artist Otis Frizzell was driving down Williamson Ave, Grey Lynn, past a mural he did. "Otis sold out to the pigs" is written in large letters across it, referring to the artwork he did for a police recruitment campaign. Frizzell is bummed and responds on Facebook: "I can only assume the 'pigs' this person is referring to are a) The Wellington policewoman who dedicated 10 years of her life to busting open an international child porn/paedophile ring and brought the despicable offenders to justice, or perhaps b) The brave young officer that entered a crumbling building seconds after the Christchurch earthquake and risked his life to drag injured people to safety. I checked out who I was supporting in that campaign and those are the types of police the whole job was about - have a voice and an opinion and stand up for what you believe in, but choose your platform well or you come off looking like a dick."
Vogels - does it pass your taste test?
"Has anyone else noticed that the once wonderful Vogels is a pale wheatmeal shadow of its former iconic self?"asks Helen from Hillsborough. "When I rang to inquire/complain the customer person at Goodman Fielder said she'd not had other calls about this. Really? Has no one else noticed?"
