Telecom, great service at least 20% of the time.

Americans are spoiled. How do I know? I am an American, a third generation native Californian and when I lived in California man oh man did I have internet! The speed that I could down load radio shows I was producing in the states would blog my mind. After three years in New Zealand, while I love the country and the people, I've decided that the country from a technical standpoint is like living in colonial America during the "civil war."

So remember, since our show is the lighter side of genocide you have to keep your sense of humor in all of this!

With a very thick accent say the following when you call Telecom or maybe Telecom will say this to you when you call:

"Welcome to Telecom's New 3G Network! It works perfectly as long as you don't use it!"

"Welcome to Telecom, we created a new division called Chorus, a world class technical broadband service organized by Telecom to piss off as many Orcon Customer's as possible. (Only go with Orcon, they are great)!!

"Welcome to Telecom, where we allow your neighbors to steal your bandwidth and then make you pay for it!"
Don't believe me? Read this:

Moko in New Zealand
BY KEVIN ZELNIO

You may remember Moko, the playful, pygmy sperm whale-saving, lovable dolphin from New Zealand? I’ve just learned from a commenter that he was found dead July 8, 2010. While an autopsy is being done (because of the special nature this dolphin held with the local people), officials say there is no reason to suspect any malicious act, stressing that Moko was a wild dolphin and his death could be due to many things. The BBC reported nearly a year ago:

But scientists are concerned about Moko’s welfare. In a recent study they found he had been scarred by boats and a fish hook.

They pointed out that of the 30 “lone” dolphins identified around the world, 14 had already been injured or had died as a result of their interaction with humans.
