Shortly after we wrote about Facebook's refusal to remove a page glorifying the New Zealand Teen Rape Club known as the "Roast Busters," the page quietly disappeared from the social networking site. But don't bake Facebook any fucking cookies; there's still no way for users to report pages for "sexual violence." And other …

New Zealanders are outraged over the continued unprosecuted existence of West Auckland's Roast Busters,
For the last two years or so, a group of West Auckland teen boys calling themselves the "Roast Busters" have gotten their jollies picking up sometimes-underage girls, feeding them alcohol, and then, once they're too intoxicated to fend off their advances, gang raping them.
This lamb gamboling about the skate park after its human companion is the most life-affirming thing you’ll see all day, right until the camera catches the lamb wandering dangerously close to a pentagram that’s been graffitied in the middle of the park. I have to believe that, even though it’s dangerously close to…
Much like its Mod Carousel gender-swapped predecessor
The government of New Zealand has come up with a novel strategy for getting rid of great big gross fat people: Just throw them into the sea! But don't worry, humanitarians—fat is buoyant. Concerned that hordes of marauding fatties will literally gobble up the nation's entire economy (WHO SPILLED GRAVY ALL OVER THE…
Don't you wish that New Zealand's war on cats was actually a war OF cats? Think of it! It could be like Redwall and Narnia come to life, but no — instead it's a boring ol' war on cats as environmentalists push for the nationwide eradication of a beloved household pet. The war! It soldiers on!
New Zealanders, sick and tired of being ridiculed for everyone calling them Kiwis, are putting an end to the tomfoolery. No longer can Kiwis name their kids whatever the fresh hell they feel like naming them.

Let's all raise a glass of champagne (or cup of coffee) in a celebratory toast in honor of New Zealand for becoming the 13th country in the world to officially legalize gay marriage!
This is Zorro. He's a two month old pig who loves to surf. And we love to watch him surf, because finally something is alright in the world. Also, perhaps it's because I'm a Bleedy Female, but I'm crying. Is this weird? Should I be treated for hysteria? Help?
Kiwi economist and businessman Gareth Morgan has set up a website called Cats To Go. Apparently there are around 1.4 million cats in New Zealand, with 48% of households owning at least one cat.

The entire population (hooray for gross generalizations!) of New Zealand is currently having nerd spasms over the the upcoming November 28 release of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit. Not only is there a movement afoot to rename the country's capital of Wellington "The Middle of Middle Earth" for a three-week bracket before…
Can you remember the last time you heard someone talk about vaginal discharge on the television, or even just in public? Probably not, because we're conditioned to think of discharge as "icky." Vaginal discharge beats out even incontinence for the title of "She Who Must Not Be Named" in the feminine hygiene industry;…

Chances are you wouldn't look at a three-year-old running around with their friends and think, "That kid's definitely going to grow up to have a serious gambling addiction" or "Boy, is she ever headed for a drug problem."

New Zealand radio station The Rock got a lot of flak for its plan to give away a divorce on Valentine's Day. But no criticism was as effective as what actually happened — a lesbian couple sabotaged the contest.
While Amsterdam has a reputation for being the weed capital of the world, college students looking to do something vaguely rebellious during their junior year abroad should set their sights on a different hemisphere.

If you happen to be a resident of Auckland, New Zealand, you might have already seen this billboard on your local street corner. But for the rest of us who have never laid our eyes on this wondrous spectacle, I think I speak for us all when I say whaaaaa?

Skeinz, a yarn store in New Zealand, is calling on knitters throughout the world to knit sweaters for the penguins affected by a massive oil spill that occurred earlier this month. The tiny sweaters, while eliciting aww's and squee's, serve a very important function: they prevent the oil-soaked birds from poisoning…
A New Zealand mom's plot to convince school admissions officials that her daughter's rival had an STD went awry recently, mostly because it was totally bizarre.
Remember that time in junior high when you used the old "cramps" excuse to avoid running the mile in gym class? Well, a New Zealand woman recently took it to the next level when she lied to police, telling them she was in labor. The woman was sitting shotgun in a car traveling at 146 km/h (90 mph), speeding around…
