Australian tries to sell NZ on ebay
May 11, 2006
An Australian man tried to auction New Zealand off over the internet, starting at just one Australian cent.
Six thousand hits and 22 bids later, New Zealand was still a real estate bargain at $3,000.
But it is a joke Foreign Minister Winston Peters could not take.
"I don't think it's fun. I think that kind of nonsensical stupidity, I'll leave to the tabloid media," he says.
The posting said the country's highlights include "the dodgiest America's Cup win ever...and very ordinary weather."
The man trying to sell New Zealand, an Australian living in Brisbane, would not appear on camera but says he has been to Auckland once and did not think much of it.
But before the country could be sold off, Daniel Feiler of ebay Australia says the auction was pulled.
"We have over 1,000 trust and safety people looking at the site and key areas, and clearly New Zealand isn't for sale."

Don't worry, if the check bounces, we'll just liberate you instead.

Easily done simply by rallying around Canada's inability to control their French population. That's more of a reason right there to liberate than we had to invade Iraq.

great. I had a nice little flame war brewing and you have to come and gimp it up with your boring. I'd be mildly amazed if a fucking shut-in like you could find canada on a map, much less know fuck all about it.

Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times; I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clover conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.
I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are

oh the fucking irony of you saying that.
i think someone might have slipped me something because this can't actually be real.
