When you see 3 killer spiders and the tops of your feet are bare, the relevance will become apparent.

Exactly this. Especially ones with as painful a bite as red backs. They are really not killer spiders (I know you know this too) anymore, but I still wouldn't fancy any of them on my bare feet - or even covered feet TBH.
 

I was more referring to his choice of words to express jandals.

But lets not flip flip, and get on with it.

Haha, well I've heard plenty of other Kiwis call them flip flops. Personally I wouldn't even mention the words flip flop, sounds much worse than thong, which I didn't even find out the alternative use of the word until I was like 12 (/the other day lawloloplwos)

[Pyromanik]

thongs/ flip flips (silly Kiwis and their silly names)

Jandals bro. GOSH.

Thongs are G-Strings and flip flops are what aussies call jandals.
Thongs is the american word.
And if any kiwi ever says flip flops, it's because they've been in aussie too long. You'll notice they probably say fleeep floorps.

You mean to say you don't wear socks with your jandals? You, sir, are missing out.

Just found out why my most favouritist soda isn't available in NZ and has to be imported by FoodTrenz instead of distributed.

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505123_162-42747054/how-not-to-promote-soda-jones-golliwog-ad/

Back in 2011, Foodtrenz commissioned an ad by these doorknobs: http://www.ddb.co.nz

The doorknobs made this:



Without asking for consent from Jones Soda. Ad gets distributed and then Jones Soda starts coming under fire in the States for distributing a racist ad with a Gollywog, Terrorist and a BDSM expert, Jones Soda turns around and says "we knew nothing of this".

Fuck you DDB and Foodtrenz. Fuck you for doing this.

This may have worked due to NZ's laid back attitude in advertising, but not for a company who is based in the US. The entire ad goes against Jones branding and shows how little DDB and Foodtrenz undertood the product and ended up butchering why Jones has a niche.

Rant over.

Website doesn't do anything for me.

[Retardobot]

Emotionally or literally?

Works fine for me.

Literally.

Just shows thier logo. Nothing plays, can't click anything.

[Retardobot]

You're not missing a whole lot.

The commercial work they've done is great - Sky ads etc.

But the website itself is a little to experimental and snobbish.

I hate how 'PC gone mad' is used as an excuse or get-out-of-jail-free-card for being a fucking douchebag.

People seem to confuse 'political correctness' with what I deem to be a general standard of manners. I have no issue with swearing (see above) or even epithets which may be considered unsavoury, but it's the context in which they're used that determines whether or not they're appropriate. The trouble, I guess, is that people who use 'PC gone mad' as free-licence to express their (fucked-up) views or use such language aren't of the intellectual calibre to detect the nuances that define that context.

[Growler]

Does your PC go mad when you get a virus?

I heard Nortons Disk Doctor was just the remedy you needed!

fine.... I'll go now.................
