This advert is following me around, but seems rather inappropriate here:

Hello keywords.

A few years back the Herald ran an article about a stamp collector who got killed, right next to the article was a NZ Post advert for a new stamp collection coming out.

There was a body discovered in a Samsonite suitcase under a stairwell in Auckland; cue Samsonite ads on the page that featured the story! Samsonite, so 'secure' you can store a dead body for weeks and no one will notice the smell.

Sharing with the group. I tend to do that on a social forum such as this.

So there is, didn't even read that part.

I don't think I'm bothered enough to use it, but yes it's there if anyone took significant offence to it.
