I solemnly swear that the above "lifestyle" headline was not photoshopped and appeared on The Herald website about 10 minutes ago. It's gone now.

Auckland hit with almost 300 per cent more rain than usual
NIWA reported this afternoon the organisation's climate centre on Auckland's North Shore had recorded 434.6 mm of rain so far this year.
This equated to 36 per cent of the normal annual amount, in just 12 per cent of the year.
So Auckland has had three times as much rain as is normal for this time of year - isn't that 200% more, not 300.
I think our friends at Stufff neeed a new spelll checker. ![]()
Or a new keyboard.

And they've changed the headline now
They must be listening to us.

See attached. They do this pretty much every day. Lazy, lazy, lazy.


^^^ I guess they forgot to run one of those scammy ads that go like this:
What day does Waitangi Day fall on?
5 Feb

Your opinion matters!!! ![]()
We could just start making the tripe up ourselves:
The New Zealand Herald! Is it a great Newspaper? No.
Are New Zealand papers worth reading? No.
Breaking News! It's raining in Gore.
The NZ Herald - free cat litter tray liner every issue!
A woman in Timaru today complained that the pie she bought was steak and cheese, not mince and cheese. "It's disgusting. I've never been treated like this! They should be ashamed. My friend on social media agreed!
Next - What The Internet Thought of the Hot Pie incident - you'll be amazed!

So f.ing what? ![]()
DarthKermit: Killed paraglider was on reality TV
So f.ing what?
Up there with "Woman who died in car accident was loving mum of 3" etc.
It's stuff that, if it needs printing at all, needs printing in the Hicksville Times Age or whatever the relevant local firelighter is called, not an erstwhile national newspaper. Can you imagine the NYT printing "Farmer who died in Wyoming accident was Dad to 3 girls" on the front page?

From Stuff:
My their proof reading is unbelievably bad!
DarthKermit: Killed paraglider was on reality TV
So f.ing what?
it's the same when they list occupations of the person who died or committed a serious crime, what does an occupation add to the story.
Common sense is not as common as you think.
A lot if it is 'former all black'.
You can play one test and get that 'occupation' added on to your drink driving story, assault charge or whatever.
Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21
