    Key is fair game, using members of the public and especially kids in this way is most definitely out of order.

    1. 3.1

      Go fuck yourself, HS. If Key wants to do photo ops with members of the public, those photos can be mocked. PR isn’t a one way street.

      1. 3.1.1

        How about if it was your daughter Dean, would you be OK with her photo being posted on a political blog and used in this way ?

        1. 3.1.1.1

          Oh please.
          If the objective of the caption competition was to belittle the student in the photo, you might almost have a point (depending on what constitutes ethically reasonable or fair use of photos already in the public eye). But she’s not. Key is.

          It’s no different from people laughing during the campaign when Key picked up a sweet looking baby that immediately burst into tears when he touched it.

          But your delicate sensibilities have been noted.

    2. 3.2

      Where do you think the picture came from? Secret Standard photographers?

      Besides, no-one’s denigrating the girl.

      1. 3.2.1

        I have no idea where the photo came from and I’ll pose the same question to you as I did to Dean.

        How about if it was your daughter, would you be OK with her photo being posted on a political blog and used in this way ?

        2. 3.2.1.2

          New caption, after HS: “Hey, you slippery piece of Tory filth! How dare you exploit me for votes? Do you want a smack in the mouth?”

          1. 3.2.1.3.1

            [lprent: Definitely a comment well over the edge. ‘Robust’ does not mean that you have can just rave. Read the policy and you have just had your warning. ]

          2. 3.2.1.3.2

            Oh you are joking. I don’t use farce book my self but this as a cover photo . It’s a warning. Dirty old man lives here. Danger Little Girl Danger. (shades of lost in space)

            It looks like a a case of “go away creepy old man, my mum told me never to talk to strangers” Help! Help!! HELLLLLLPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!

    “Hey I can’t find my iPad – can I see your copy of Boag’s email? Just need to check something.”

  9. 9

    you are even creepier for real than on telly and take your hand out of the pocket as mummy and daddy warned me about strangers and the promises they make.

    Key
    Have you heard of the control card which will be issused to every 16 – 18 year old who Work and Income have to support because they are unemployed?

    Teenager
    Prime Minister, what are you doing for teenagers to help them find employment?

    Key
    Well there is a recession and the Christchurch earthquakes are keeping us busy.

    Teenager
    Don’t blame youth when they can’t find employment as they do not run the country.

    “I see you are looking at the Standard. Man do those guys have a boner for me”

    “and looking at your log in you are…Felix, nice to put a face to the name”

  18. 18

    No I haven’t seen breaking dawn yet, but I know breaking wind quite well.. (farts) ok ill just go over there, yeah,… (awkward silence) note to self “tomorrows schools will have better air con”

  22. 22

    “Feel my greenstone suit, doesn’t it make you go all tingly inside? Ooooooh, I love it, it makes me want to mince all over again”!

  23. 23

    Hi little girl – I am the man who is hell bent on wrecking public education in New Zealand. And by the way isn’t your teacher lazy and useless!

  24. 24

    I am working to make our unequal society even more unequal. Unless you’re special (Academic ability, Workability) you’ll have to get along on just smiles in the future. I don’t believe in sharing our rich land’s wealth with non performers! So be a performer! Like me get in on a Ponzi scheme and get out with 50,000,000 before TSHTF.

  25. 25

    Hey, can we go on a tour of your neighbourhood? I’m pretty sure YOU won’t emigrate to Australia before the next election…

  33. 33

    “He, he, he, – that’s what I like about these school girls; I get older, they stay the same age.”

  34. 34

    (Doubtful) higherstandard……

    I’ll take you seriously when you copy me your letter to Key castigating him for his cynical stunt a few years ago when either or he or one his underlings publicly depicted a certain poor Auckland street as the utter pits, then prevailed on the parents of a 7 or 8 year old girl living in that street to let her accompany him to Waitangi I think it was.

    A photo op that lasted a whole day. Bloody creepy actually that he would use that kid in that way.

    Anyway……..”Who’re you sending that email to little girl……..?

  36. 36

    Don’t bother smiling at me Mr Assassin, I can see you reaching for your weapon, just smile at the web camera you fuckwit.

  38. 38

    – “Don’t be afraid. I know the smile is creepy but I just can’t get it to stop”
    – “Can you go to my facebook page and like me? Like me lots?”
    – “Back off mister, you’re starting to freak me out”
    – Child makes online report of stalker
    – “I’ve got candy”

  39. 39

    “We’re hoping if we get your arms accustomed to this horribly unergonomic position from an early age, we’ll save millions on ACC costs in the future.”

  42. 42

    No, that’s untrue; all Tories aren’t on the sex offenders register little girl… some of us still haven’t been caught yet.

  44. 44

    “…oh, researching leprechauns are you? Some people have an angel on their shoulder that keeps them honest, but I have a boy who I feed pies and wine gums…”

  47. 47

    “Excuse me while I whip this out.”
    [Reaches into waistline as crowd gasps and screams.]

    (With apologies to “Blazing Saddles.”)

  48. 48

    Mr Key, are you sure we can get rid of this crap teacher and get one that gives a shit about what we learn rather than only telling us how fabulous the Labour party are ?

  49. 49

    OK, you have navigated to the school payroll details, now click the “send to public” button – It’s OK I’m the PM and by definition I can’t leak so go for it.
