Fail.
No dead hookers.
those ads have been bought and paid for, therefore tv stations are obligated to screen them regardless.
True and Radio NZ has been paid for as well by tax payers, so no need for commercials which is excellent.

They've been hidden in the crevice.
"I'm live here in Darfield, at the epicentre of the earthquake and there is absolutely nothing here...so everything is pretty much as per usual here."
There was a great interview with the owner of the pub/hotel in Darfield on National Radio at about breakfast time. "We're all fine, we had some damaged pipes but there's a plumber staying here so he fixed it pretty quickly and now everyone is in the bar drinking and having a good time."
I loved the CNN lady making it sound horrific "rescuers are looking for possible survivors", then when she spoke to the TVNZ reporter he said "no, we don't think that there is anyone trapped in the rubble. The earthquake was twelve hours ago and things like the power are coming back on" The CNN lady looked totally crestfallen, their newsroom must have figured something like "big earthquake in far-away country, there must be hundreds dead!"
Brilliant.
Brilliant.
They should just go fishing for bodies in the Avon and make it look like there were casualties.
Bring on the Nix.
NZ_Quake on Twitter ftw.
Move.
Move.
We've been slaughtered with aftershocks. Rattling the house back and fourth. No damage for us at either of our houses.
Back in time for the phoenix this evening :)
Mate, it was up with the laptop, charging the phones, replying to the texts, and then posting on here!

Funny timing that Jim Anderton said in an interview on Friday that it "It'd take an earthquake" to lose the election to Bob Parker.

Jim Anderton = Twat.
As soon as I saw Parker on the television yesterday I said that his re-election is guarenteed. He has received massive coverage, coming across in control, assertive and compassionate to the voters. Disasters are re-election gold.

any reports of people missing? As usual Ill spurn Stuff.co.nz and get my news direct from the YF Forum
The earthquake was extremely violent, I mean really really violent, i was in bed at 430am, and it woke me up, at the start of it, it just sounded like a wee one that would stop, but then all of a sudden, it was massively loud and shooked the house so much, i mean you had to go through it to believe it, I tried to walk to the door way, but i couldnt make it, because the house was shaking so much, finally I made it, (once the violent part of it stopped), but it keep going and going and going, when it finally stopped, I knew this wasnt a little one and there would be serious damage to the city.
The streets are a mess.
Hats off to the council though and civil defense people, power, water and such are back on. Neighbiours were helping neighbours, the only two negative ascepts of human behavior were the two looters and the guy selling bopttle water for ten bucks on the street corner. Other than that people were great.
