Making Mugabe tourism envoy only makes UN even more of a sick joke

The United Nations was set up in 1945 after World War II in order to supposedly facilitate peace and human rights. That's what it's supposed to do. Unfortunately, what started out as a great idea to get countries to get along with each other has now become a huge joke and has made the UN about as useless and irrelevant as its predecessor, the League of Nations. There are too many examples of their incompentence but let's start with failing to prevent the Rwandan or Bosnian Genocides in the 1990s. Then you have the oil-for food scandal in which Russia, France and China (the 3 permanent Security Council members that opposed the Iraq War) continued to prop up Saddam Hussein's tyrannical regime in exchange for oil while at the same time accusing the United States and Britain of fighting a war for oil. The fact that Russia, France and China kept pushing to remove sanctions on Iraq kind of destroys the whole "blood for oil" argument that liberals kept going on about since it was the countries that opposed the Iraq War that were the ones truly motivated by oil. Next example: Israel bashing. Israel gets hounded by the UN every time they try to defend themselves against terrorists (who hide among civilians in order to elicit sympathy) yet the UN hasn't even passed a single resolution to condemn the genocide in Sudan. The UN is supposed to protect and promote human rights but it does anything but that. For example, the so-called Human Rights Council flew the UN flags at half-mast after Kim Jong-il died and, more recently, the United Nations can't really do anything about Syria because Russia and China (who both have veto power) have such cozy relationships with that murderous regime. Want another example of the Useless Nations hypocrisy over human rights? The UN Human Rights Council is supposed to protect human rights which you would've thought includes free speech. Not according to the Human Rights Council, otherwise they wouldn't have passed a resolution banning criticism of Islam so they could appease Muslim dictatorships and legitimise their persecution of Christians. Oh, and don't even get me started on the ironically named UN World Conference Against Racism providing a soapbox for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to air his antisemtic holocaust denials and demands for Israel to be wiped off the map. When you notice all these scandals you start to realise how much of a joke this waste of a talkfest has become. Making Robert Mugabe, an evil dictator that commits atrocious human rights violations and has turned Zimbabwe into a complete basket case in the space of just 30 years, the Special Ambassador of the United Nations World Tourism Organization is yet even more proof of how irrelevant and out of touch the UN really is. Obviously there are heaps of other examples of the UN's uselessness but this post is long enough already. Feel free to comment below with your own examples.

Why is Easter different every year and how is the date determined?

Easter is different every year because it is around the same time as the Jewish festival of Passover which is based on the Lunar Calendar.Ok so how is it the date determined? Well basically Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon which is the first full moon on or after 21 March. Therefore Easter Sunday can never be earlier than 22 March or later than 25 April.

South Auckland version of the Anchor Zero Lacto ad with that annoying kid

If you live in New Zealand then you've probably seen the Anchor Zero Lacto ad with that annoying kid and his overly tolerant mum. Well this is the more realistic South Auckland version that more properly reflects modern New Zealand society.

3 News wrong about Green Party's "record-setting night"

Yes I know the election was nearly two months ago and I was going to blog about this much earlier but it's better to be late in pointing out false statements in the media than to let them remain unchallenged. So what did 3 News get so SHOCKINGLY WRONG? Well we all know about TV3's obviously extreme left wing bias (case in point: that liberal douchebag John Campbell) and their infatuation with the Greens. On Election Night they couldn't stop themselves from getting excited over their unprecedented success in capturing the idiot vote.  While it is true that, unfortunately, the Green Party achieved their best ever result  by pretending to be more sensible than they really are, 3 News made the absolutely false statement that it is the first time since the 1996 MMP that a third party has got over 10% of the party vote. I don't pretend to be an expert in extensive research but it didn't take much extensive research for me to quickly find out from the official election results website that the Green Party is NOT the first minor party to have won more than 10% of the party vote. In fact, in the 2002 General Election, New Zealand First won 10.38% of the party vote. Yes, 10.38% not just 10%. Now I know some of you (most of you idiots which is probably why you voted for the Greens) will be like "Wow 10.38%?  That's pretty much close to 10% anyway. Big freakin deal!" But you don't have to be a mathematical genius to figure out that 10.38% IS STILL MORE THAN 10%!!! I'm honestly surprised that nobody else has realised this SIMPLE FACT before but then when has the lamestream media ever cared about facts and objectivity?

Remember the All Blacks - parody of a scene from Remember the Titans

Coach Henry: It's all right. We're in a fight. You boys are doing all that you can do. Anybody can see that. Win or lose... We gonna walk out of Eden Park tonight with our heads held high. Do your best. That's all anybody can ask for.
Richie McCaw: No, it ain't Coach. With all due respect, uh, you demanded more of us. You demanded perfection. Now, I ain't saying that I'm perfect, 'cause I'm not. And I ain't gonna never be. None of us are. But we have won 75% of all our matches and every single game we have played at Eden Park since 1994. So this team is almost perfect and ranked number 1 in the world. We won the World Cup in 1987. And, uh, if it's all the same to you, Coach Henry, we want to win it again.

Why a try is called a try

The Rugby World Cup 2011 is nearly coming to an end as the All Blacks prepare for the ultimate showdown against the unpredictable French. Of course we want the All Blacks to score lots of tries and waste those frogs but, if you're like me, you may ask yourself why a try is called a try when you've succeeded. Shouldn't they be called successes? Actually there's a good reason why they're called tries. When rugby was first invented in England in the 1800s what we call a try didn't actually give you any points. Back then, when you scored a try you just got the opportunity to "try" to kick a goal ie "convert the try" into points. Tries didn't give you any points until 1886 when you got 1 point for a try, 2 points for a conversion, 3 points for a penalty and 3 points from a drop goal. The value of a try increased to 2 points in 1891, 3 points in 1894, 4 points in 1971 then finally 5 points in 1992.

That's The Race You Are - Asian parody of Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars

Oh, her eyes, her eyes, make dental floss the perfect blindfold
Her hair, her hair, is black (not grey) unless she is old
She wears spectacles
And she studies everyday.
Yeah, I know, I know I can buy some things from her real cheaply
But it's so, it's so sad that they're usually bad quality
And every time I send an item back her way
I say

When I see your grades
There's not a doubt about your race
Cause you're an Asian
That's the race you are.

And when you drive
The whole world's shocked when you can survive
Cause girl you're an Asian
That's the race you are.

Her rice her rice
She can eat it all day when she's hungry
Her lunch her lunch consists of hot dogs and I mean literally
She wears spectacles
And she studies everyday
Oh you know you know you sound like you just got off the plane
Can't understand a word you say.
It's hurting my brain.
So don't bother asking if your English is okay
You know I'll say

When I see your grades
There's not a doubt about your race
Cause you're an Asian
That's the race you are.

And when you drive
The whole world's shocked when you can survive
Cause girl you're an Asian.
That's the race you are.

The race you are
The race you are
Girl you're an Asian.
That's the race you are

When I see your grades
There's not a doubt about your race
Cause you're an Asian
That's the race you are

And when you drive
The whole world's shocked when you can survive
Cause girl you're an Asian
That's the race you are
