ODT Watch | Issue 5
Posted 11:22am Sunday 26th March 2017
This week the ODT is reporting on mysteries from beyond the realm of life and death. We at ODT Watch thought that the mystery was done and dusted when the ghost roses rose from the dead, but apparently that was merely the beginning. Moving further into the surreal paranoid Read more...
The Moths
Posted 2:55pm Sunday 19th March 2017
One day the moths became people. Sheds and undergrowth and houses were suddenly jammed with limbs and heads and bodies. Cocoons popped, disgorging viscous fluid filled with half formed ears and teeth. Dusty corpses filled the windowsills, blocking out the light like mummified curtains. Many Read more...

ODT Watch has been contacted by humans (unusual for us) asking whether we doctor the ODT’s headlines to make them funnier. We would like to formally deny this slander. The ODT is funny enough without having to change a thing. Case in point: What followed was a whimsical tale of an Read more...

Posted 11:52am Sunday 12th March 2017
This week the ODT has finally done it. They’ve run out of content completely. Over the next couple of weeks they plan to see how many different kinds of feathers they can lodge in different locations. We seem to have an infestation of Australian Read more...

Posted 11:09am Sunday 5th March 2017
This week, the ODT proved yet again that they will brave nonsensical surrealism in order to make a pop culture reference. Nothing makes us at ODT Watch more aroused than a nice bit of old fashioned ODT ineptitude. Not only is Dan Hendra not the OUSA president, he is also not Read more...

Puns are like opioids; you start using only occasionally with a quality product, but fast you sink into addiction and squalor. The article was about the prime minister shearing a sheep. That’s right, in a five word headline the ODT has managed to include not one, but two insults to the Read more...

Posted 11:55am Saturday 8th October 2016
After ODT Watch accused the ODT of cult-like ritual summoning last week, public pressure forced the ODT to explain their actions. Their explanation was as weak as their ability to make up titles. The rooster was our only hope. The crossbows are coming. A Dunedin Read more...

The local council elections are coming up, prompting old white men to make unusual comments in a desperate bid to appear relevant. But I can’t throw out my vandal collection, its antique. Giraffes are actually just four animals in a large trench coat, humorously trying Read more...

Posted 1:39pm Saturday 17th September 2016
This week, ODT Watch presents a cow themed issue. A string of seemingly unrelated cow-based events happened over the last week. In true Ancient Aliens style we present the sinister links that really tie these events together. The first event in our narrative of intrigue, a seemingly Read more...

Also about money, cocaine and prostitutes. In ‘thing that hasn’t done anything for 15 years continuing to do nothing’ news Some Hamiltonian is misinformed about the way in which universities are ranked against each other. Apparently Read more...
