New Zealand is going down buddy!! Yes, pun intended.

They are now officially a part of the Whacksis of Evil.

Ummm....

How is calling and expressing displeaure a "Hissy Fit?"

There not complaining in the papers and raising cain. This was in a British paper. They aren't holding press conferences, organizing protests, declaring boycotts, or anything. Just a conversation expressing displeasure.

I think you are mischaracterizing.

This should be a non-story.

An embassy spokeswoman said: "We believe that any likeness of a national government symbol in a commercial advertisement is in extremely poor taste. "

Unless you are selling something in the US. Things like British Pubs and Franco American products have been using national symbols for years.

I love my county, and hate to see it associated with a brothel, but thems the breaks.

So far, only Axxon seems to understand the reason for the post.

So no discrimination against Virgins, always good to see :D :D

LOL!

This is so good I had to pass this link around the office.

Did any of you check out the related article about Free Sex for the members of the Armed Forces at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch? including this gem:

Dennis Hof, the proprietor, said the idea had been put to him by one of his female employees, who had served in the war.
