This week the ODT’s sensationalist fear-mongering is running strong.
We at ODT Watch are highly anticipating the chlorinated staplers, rubber bands, rulers and paper clips that “all supplies” surely includes. However, it could be that the ODT are just pre-empting the inevitable explosion of the arcane maelstrom in their basement (that whispers to the editor in his dreams) and the resulting chloride shower that will cover the greater Otago region.
Either the ODT has misused a comma or we should be very worried about bank employs being armed to the teeth with pistols and cutlasses and robbing Spanish galleons on the high seas, although admittedly not chewing tobacco as they do so. Tobacco, after all, is for pirates.
Perhaps the ODT just assumes that no one ever reads them (unfortunately untrue), in which case printing such a secret would be a great way to keep it a secret.
Next, the ODT suffered an uncharacteristic bout of socialism.
They should really get that treated; we’ve heard that rolling in large amounts of money clears it up pretty quickly.
And finally:
It is good to see the police cracking down on all those insignificant arrests they make. We saw an arrest last week; it was only fairly significant.
