Red mist moment was herejoachim2010-06-24 07:22:14

this is a particuarly bitter and negative post is it not?

Yes

Edit: I believe I even used the word bitter in the post.

Edit 2: Correction, bitternessjoachim2010-06-23 10:39:05

Whether or not this woman's attempt to make $$$ is ethical, what's really not on is using hateful language about her body size, especially considering that YF/WN stalwarts are hardly anorexic themselves.

I noticed the footage of her whn was the Kings and I'm not really bothered with what she's doing now but at the time I thought good on her for getting her shirts off for the lads in a place where she could have got some flack as they aren't used to it and as understanding as we kiwi football fans are

I wouldn't be surprised if this thread violates the forum rules- So I am getting out before the lock

Red mist moment.

Things I would like to retract: The hateful comments, especially since I am not a bronze god myself (as anyone who has seen me topless in the Fever Zone can attest to)
Will edit my post and thread title now.

Things I stand by: That getting your bra on TV does not make it special (poor man's Lisa Lewis anyone?) and that she does not deserve funding for her trip as a result.joachim2010-06-23 11:06:57

Mocking her is one thing, but who buys this kind of thing?

1. If she wasn't on TV then she wouldn't put the item on trademe Junior822010-06-23 11:22:32

The person who asked if the panties were for sale at a guess?

Tbh, if you put yourself in the spotlight you accept a certain level of criticism.
You might argue that she's not asking for the spotlight, but she's surely hoping that conventional media or those with a big social media following pick the story up, therefore driving attention and in suit the price of the bra up.

While I have acknowledged that my first post went far beyond that level, in a way I've done here a favour by putting the auction in front of more eyes.

Thanks for the edits, joachim.

Don't agree with what she's doing, but it's her underwear so, if she wants to flog it, that's her business.

Well, yes.  Anyway who would buy her bra?  Just because it's been on TV.

As I said, the person who asked if the panties were also available.

and yes, what is she playing at? Someone remind her on Trade Me!

NP, I had already decided to do so before seeing reaction on here. Just didn't have time to get to a computer before some of you saw it.

"Trade me bra, me bra,
 I wanna see the kiwis, kiwis
 we drew against Italy
 trade me bra, me bra"

Seems she made it onto Stuff as news, that's certain to boost her chance of a sale.

I dont see the problem...or why you got so fired up about it?

Pics?

No matter how I look at this I can't really see an issue.  Good on her and I hope she makes a bit of money as it's not cheap heading to Africa and staying there for a few weeks.

However if the AWs lose then we have two people to blame:

Hope the bra sells before Friday morning. 

looks like she was having a whale of a time...

Actually, that person was me haha. Im a dirty disgusting person BUT i think you should get over yourself mate. Maybe she took out a loan to get there? Maybe she said to her boss "f**k you if youre not giving me leave, I QUIT". Maybe you need to stop being such a pussy?

Very good.

I can't see what the big deal is. Good on her for trying her luck. It's just a bit of harmless fun. I wouldn't be bidding on the bra, but I wouldn't be so arrogant or presumptious to suggest no-one else can if that's what want.

Its probably his missus?

Well, I'm either:
a) a truly arrogant prick who think the world revolves around him
or
b) the latest person to have a red mist moment and post on an internet forum without thinking first (not the first, will not be the last)

I love people posting 18 hours later telling me to get over myself when I haven't been coming back to argue the issue with anyone. (sometimes I think I should have left the personal attack up, even though I regret them just so the thread would have gotten locked)

Since we all like things to be crystal clear around here, yes I have calmed down. I have not been brooding in anger and contemplating slitting my wrists over not being in South Africa. It's her bra, she can sell it if she like but it's in gross breach of yf protocol (hence why I had the feeling she would never read this thread, can't be a member of yf )
In fact, if this starts a trend, my undies that I wore on Nov 14 and every other All Whites game are up for grabs, cheap too, I'll just swap them for a new pair that aren't falling apart.
I will need to chop off a patch to sew onto another pair so I can still forever be carrying the mojo of Nov 14 though.

Now the question I should have just posted to begin with, who would by that?

If she sells it, how will she be wearing her lucky outfit in it's entirety next time the All Whites play (not changing your matchday get up is the YF protocol, not the actual trading of goods)

Now if she can specify in the auction that the buyer now owns the bra but she maintains possession (or that the bra must be couriered to her by match day to be returned after, all at the new owners expense) then I will have not only gone full circle on my initial thoughts, I'll be tipper her as the best sales woman on the planet.

I see.

Two thoughts:
- if she's not a member of YF, is she still bound by such protocol?
- she says she's not completing the auction until she gets back to NZ next week and AJ's request to bundle the bra with a panties combo was met with a "only if NZ beat Paraguay" - a game she's mentioned being at - all suggesting there is likely no breach of protocol anyway.

Good question, possibly not. Someone needs to ask her if she is on the White Noise tour or there independently (someone not as lazy as myself)

Well, that's good to hear for the Paraguay game, but the All Whites are going to play after the World Cup, we don't want this to go all 1982 on us now do we?
I for one plan on the All Whites doing it all again in 2014 so I can live it up in the Brazilian sun, drink beer, look at beautiful women and even more attractive Football, as opposed to freezing at home and being a bitter bastard on my laptop.

What, so you're not all like the girls who got on Close Up with the specially decorated bras last season? That's disappointing.

They're the ones who should have an auction come to think of it, end of season of course with all proceeds going to Brown and Siggy's very own life trust.
