The NZ evolution will not be televised on TVNZ - ode to Gil Scott Heron
You will not be able to stay on the dole, sister.
You will not be able to smoke weed, have kids or earn more
You will not be able to redefine yourself with school,
or expect any privacy from Paula,
Because the NZ evolution will not be televised on TVNZ.
The NZ evolution will not be televised on TVNZ.
The NZ evolution will not be brought to you by Skinny
In 4 downloads on demand, on-line and i-tunes.
The NZ evolution will not show you pictures of poverty
blowing your mind and demanding John returns to
McGehan Close and try finding the underclass again
because McElrea won't fund the docos exposing it.
The NZ evolution will not be televised on TVNZ.
The NZ evolution will not be fought for you by the
media elites or glorified cheerleaders and Air
Hostesses selling crime anger with white smiles at 6.
The NZ evolution will not give your brain sex appeal.
The NZ evolution will not be solved in soundbites.
The NZ evolution will not replace your prozac
intake, because the NZ evolution will not be televised on TVNZ, Brothers and Sisters.
There will be no measurement of child poverty
silencing criticism of capital gains tax
or embarrassing the NBR rich list to care beyond Metro's top 10 chefs.
Telephone opinion polls will predict the election 6 years out
making apathy the default vote.
The NZ evolution will not be televised.
There will be no pictures of pigs arresting
white collar brothers in instant replay.
There will be no pictures of pigs arresting
white collar brothers in instant replay.
There will be no pictures of the 1% being
run out of Aotearoa on a fully funded rail loop.
There will only be slow mo justice for Tama
Iti to be able to skip past the Bee
Hive unbound by a bloodied flag wrapped around his mouth
'cause no occasion was proper.
GC, false choice and food porn have become prime time illness
with the cold in broken homed Christchurch watching The Block
with the envy of South Aucklanders watching Master Chef,
the 99% won't be on streets searching
for a brighter day while public broadcasting dies.
The NZ evolution will not be televised by TVNZ.
There will be no insights on the late news with empty
bennie bashing headlines blaming the poor while the
inequality stats reach new highs as Key turns a blind eye.
The theme song will not be written by the sick,
Solo parents or the mentally broken,
270 000 children won't be heard.
The NZ evolution will not be televised by TVNZ.
The NZ evolution will not be right back with a message
about white land ownership, white water ownership, or white injustice ownership.
You have to worry about the fat on your thighs,
sexual impotency, hair loss and the mobile provider you choose.
The NZ evolution will not go better with jokes.
The NZ evolution will not fight for lowering top tax rates.
The NZ evolution will not keep you in the passengers seat.
The NZ evolution will not be televised on Close Up, will not be televised on Q+A,
will not be televised at 6pm, will not be televised on Breakfast.
The NZ evolution will be no mainstream media event
The NZ evolution will be on-line.

@ Bomber . Brilliant ! That brought tears to my eyes and made me clench my fists . The Day of Reckoning is fast approaching roger douglas and your ancillary scum .
Almost as good as the original, brother.
Well done!
copied pasted and sent to everyone on my email list. Bloody Brilliant!

Ok, disclosure I'm unbelievably cynical, so take this with a grain of salt. With that out of that way, lets say that you were offered a primo 6 figure job at TVNZ + all sorts of perks (such as free overseas trips), but with the obvious stipulation that you don't say anything not approved by the TVNZ Bosses. Do you turn that job down? Honestly. Yes or no? See I think internet bloggers like TVNZ know where their bread is buttered, so, for e.g. setting up an anti-Cameron Slater blog (as it were), to give a "credible" voice from the left makes perfect sense to me. But how much of that voice is just there only because of the audience for it, as opposed to genuine conviction from the blogger? The point I'm trying to make is that isn't TVNZ as left or right at any given time as where they believe the highest ratings can be found, which in turn translates directly into advertiser dollars?
Roll on the evolution!

Crisis, what crisis!
Main stream media is stuffed. We need an alt media for Aotearoa.
@ Phil . I had a thought and thanks for the inspiration . It's a lonely little thought so I'd better get it out there before it's replaced by an image of a pretty girl holding a sign reading " Free wine and a nice place to have a wee lie down right this way . "
What we need is for the perfectly good Media we already have and have paid for , for years and years to do what it's fucking told . Not what Corporations cunningly force-feed us through a series of dependent minions enjoying their top heavy salaries and well used to living the High Life is that not right Paul Henry ?
I love making analogies ; The concept of taking our shit back off THEM . Here's my analogy . It's a bit like having a beautiful , classic car then one day it breaks down . You don't just dump it and buy a new one . You have it repaired . Better yet , you repair it yourself and you love it all the more for that and when you start it up and it runs better than before it broke down ,you have yourself to thank . And the better you maintain it , the longer it runs too you discover.
I see our democracy like that . If we'd maintained it by actively being a part of it's processes , none if it's best bits , like electricity , public transport , education , dental , communications , housing and the general health of our areas of employment would have decayed into the rotting , stinking old pimped out carcass full of writhing maggots as it dies on the foot path in it's tattered fishnet stockings . That's what they've done to our great little country . An old whore on her last legs and standing over her , flicking cigar ash into her fear stained face are those politicians who sold her out . Is that not right roger douglas . Opps , sorry . I meant The Honorable SIR Roger Douglas . ( Gag ! )
Our politicians too are perfect for their jobs . They're born natural cunts . All we have to do is reign them in and make them do their jobs FOR US ! NOT THEM !
Should the fact that we no longer see that as even a vague possibility gravely concern us all ?
Since we have lost sight of that process of maintenance and repair ( And by repair I mean riot and strike ) any 'new media' @ Phil will be doomed to the same fate . Start out great then get eaten alive by those who know they can sell you shit if they can just penetrate the thin membrane between Human-Being and Consumer-Being. Is that not so Radio U of Canterbury ?
Steven Joyce ? What do you reckon ? Do you see yourself as a cunning , vacant , hungry sack that does little more than eat in the front and shit out the back as you stand back and watch your children , us trusting New Zealand voters , get pack-raped by Day Time TV Vacuum Cleaner salesmen for example ? Seriously , I'm just asking ?
The secret to OUR right to prosper and be happy in our beautiful Aotearoa ( Or New Zealand for all us boat people hahahahaa ! ) is to singularly THINK about what's being done to us by THEM . Understand your enemy . Know your enemy . Then act collectively . Kia Kaha indeed @ Phil !
Jesus ! I've been watching . What a beautiful spirit Gil Scott-Heron was . Thank you Bomber for bringing him into my life . Superb and wondrous .
