ODT Watch | The Week the ODT Urinated All Over Tauranga

Welcome back. This week the ODT is reporting on some ground-breaking research,

 

 


 

In sinister news,

 

 

I’ve seen the Lord of the Rings; I know how this ends. 

 


 

Next, the ODT wrote a front page story about two teenagers from Tauranga who came to Dunedin and liked our museum.

 

 

Putting aside the fact that the ODT probably shouldn’t be poking anything with a stick, let alone ‘culture’, we at ODT Watch are not going to stand aside and let the good city of Tauranga be slandered; what about the Tauranga Classic Flyers Museum or the Tauranga Historic Village, where you can apparently “Experience the charm of yesteryear as you stroll the cobbled streets of the Village”. Ah yesteryear, back before anything bad ever happened. 

 


 

We don’t know what’s happening here. 

 

 

Maybe the ODT got a chicken? No clue. 

 


 

Next, a sad insight into the ODT’s headspace. 

 

 

We’re here for you if you ever need to talk.

 


 

Then the ODT wrote a long opinion piece about why Dunedin is the best city in New Zealand. It was gold. 

 

 

I wonder if there’s a reason that question is seldom asked.

 


 

Later in the same article, this weird nonsensical analogy

 

 

I’m going to take a stab in the dark and say that you care, ODT. You care a lot.

From the same article:

 

 

But who wrote this exceptional piece, you, the reader, must be wondering?

 

 

Was the article was so bad that the ODT fired him immediately after he finished it? If so it must have been hard for them; it’s well known that it’s physically painful for the ODT to fire anyone called Craig.
