Rabbits in the Square . Moore's Morons do it again
Col
bloody great brown rabbits in the Square . One 5 meters high and the other one
laying down. According to Deb McCormick from Art and industry "one could also
read the persecution of the rabbit as being symbolically aligned with the
predicament of the indigenous cultures suffering the effects of colonisation. is
the rabbit the villian or the victim? "
Well Debbie it is costing the council thousands for this latest effort so you
bloodywell tell us . (note : Debbie and her bunch of sandal wearing feminists
are funded by the CCC also)
Perhaps there is some justification to her remarks when you consider one of
these fibreglass monsters is destined to spend time lying on the ground beside
the Police kiosk.
The CCC councillors have suggested the council should pay for these 2
fibreglass monstrosities and place them in parks in Ch-Ch.
The artist, Mr Parekowhai, must be pissing himself at the antics of Moore's
Morons and just looking at the South island maps wondering how many other
dickheaded mayors there are for him to feed off . His comment re the rabbits ?
"The arty-farty people will want to read the work, and to see the politics
there,"
Go to http://www.stuff.co.nz/inl/index/0,1008,1165960a1561,FF.html and see how
Moore Morons have screwed up again.
They pleaded poverty, put up rates 20 % over 4 years, tried to cut out rubbish
bags, put up bus fares, put up parking fees, contributing $3,000,000 towards a
new marina, tried to cut out first hour free parking in CCC car parks, invested
in a fixed price contract for a new Art Gallery which has a blown budget. .
Now they simply want to toss money at 2 large brown rabbits for a bloody arts
festival.
I can see Helengrad speaking at the unveiling of these 2 Walt Disney like
figures..
THey have paid $40,000 for "administration" whatever that is .Plus the CCC is
paying for Resource Consent costs . They have commissioned the statues at a cost
of $80,000 .. Once the statues are finished they then want to buy them from the
Artist and erect them in a park.. For Christ's sake. These 2 Rabbits will be
destined for the same junkyard the Millenium bridge is residing in .

LOL!! What a joke. So a national pest with the intelligence of a flea that spends
all day eating and fucking....is linked to the so called "predicament" of Maori?
Interseting stuff. It just goes to prove what I always thought. Artists couldn't cut
it in the real world, and their 'ideas' are simply a joke which we should laugh at.

Two drunks are sitting at a bar.
The first one says, "What's this thing they call a Breathalyzer'?"
The second guy says, "It's a bag that can tell how much you drank."
The first guy says, "I married one of those things years ago."

Bullshit! He he he. The rabbit, an introduced species and not indigenous to NZ, could also be seen
as a symbol of colonisation could it not? Many indigenous NZ species, moa etc, were severely
effected (read extinction) by the Maori and European colonisation of NZ.
Two more eyesores to join the hideous chalice and make the Cathedral Square even more of a laughing
stock.

Just another example of stunningly crass poor judgement wherever you
look in New Zealand.
I was in Christcurch with some overseas visitors recently who
indulgently remarked that the local kindergartens seem to have had a
free hand in the square.
We returned later to the motel where, on switching on TV1 news, they
also remarked that the kindergartens seemed to be running that as well
since Daycare Supervisors, Long and Bailey, were in the process of
dispensing some of the most childishly banal rubbish ever to
masquerade under the term "news".

Oi!. Don't go blaming us white blokes for killing of the moas. The natives
did that all by themselves and the wiped out the Huias, also

Intelligence of a flea eh?
As you say, they spend all day eating and fucking. They don't work,
they don't pay tax, they don't worry. We spend decades and millions of
dollars trying to kill them with guns and dogs and poison and disease,
and they're still there. Just eating and fucking...
Either they're a lot smarter than they look or intelligence is vastly
overrated.

They're not going to pay him in monopoly money Bobs. He is in the real
world and he's the one who's laughing...
And at least he's got a sense of humour:

I can say is these days the square has taken a dive. It always seems filled
with crazy's and people with nothing better to do. The "statement" of
rabbits will go unappreciated. If an artist wants to make a point thats
memorable why doesn't he set himself on fire and bungy from the Cathedral
with a huge banner. A lot of blood, a message and a major headline. Respect
to the artist that shows some balls!
