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, a “Blurred Lines” parody called “Defined Lines” (because of gender roles, yo) made by several Auckland law students was briefly been deemed too ladybonerific for YouTube’s Council of Female Libido Deniers (it’s a very secret council).

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. Officials have released a list of 77 names that the government aka the New Zealand version of The Man will…
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. That makes New Zealanders the wolrd's biggest cat owners. So many cats! Morgan would like to see them all dead. No, really.…
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…

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." And yet a new study has shown that children's behavior at that age can offer real clues about…

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. It turns out that residents of the land Down Under consume more marijuana than any other people in the…

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?
