No-vote Vote For Labour!
Our "friends" over at The Stranded are advertising Labour's latest campaign fundraising brainfart - The No Dinner Dinner.
This was the Party that sold illegal Stop signs remember.
And the Party that wants New Zealanders to pay for services they do not actually consume so those who don't pay can benefit. So I guess it is fitting they invite you to pay for food you can't actually eat.

Only the Labour Party really could have come up with this. I'd never heard of something so creatively stupid and so googled it and sure enough it's a silly thing people do when they wish to raise money for the poor. Shades of Mike Hutcheson perhaps?
Beg for donations for food that doesn't exist made up using the naming rights of other MP's from Opposition Parties. Offer a no-raffle raffle.
How about people cast a no-vote vote for Labour at the same time?
Will Parekura Horomia take this all too literally, order one of everything and then get the pip when he wonders where the hell all the food is? I could see it happening. Best someone wake him up to inform him.
And will Charles Chauvel get the pip completely when he finds out someone has named the Gobstoppers after him?
Will Paula Bennett receive an apology for the blatant sexism showed towards her?
Will Chris Carter pack a tanty from Kabul when he's been deemed bitter?
Labour again lack the good manners to sell non-existent alcohol with their non-existent food in anything but the highest priced set menu.
I now have to resist from buying one of these non-items so I can have a laugh listening and reviewing for everyone just how bad the guest speaker was.
If the speaker does in fact exist.
Surely if they want innovative campaign ideas, flogging a pin up calendar of Stuart Nash, Damien O'Connor and Iain Lees-Galloway around the good women of Hawkes Bay, West Coast and Palmerston North may have been a better idea.

I thought the menu was quite clever, but did notice everybody's favourite has been dropped:
Goff Dumpling with a Little Appeal Sauce.
Hi Kate.
The "No-Dinner Dinner" was a gag in the long-running US television comedy show "Tool Time".
It was the brain-child of Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor's fictional wife, Jill.
The humour lay in the fact that Jill's no-fuss way of raising funds simply couldn't be explained over the phone to prospective donors.
Poor Jill became angrier and angrier as more and more of the people she cold-called failed to grasp the concept.
Does any of this sound familiar?
Its funny because most of the males in the Labour party are no cock, cocks
Battered Leitchees with a lemon bouche-fenton curdle
Rock oysters pornay with tossed shane salad and oil rubbed chorizo
It will be ugly, brutal and game changing for politics this election. Especially Labour.
I suspect two or three other parties may well find themselves surplus to requirements.
if shane jones is providing the mayonaise,I am not hungry.
Anon that's the comment of the month on my blog! lol
You mean home improvement Chris... something Labour will be clamouring to be doing more of after November.. and something Goof will have more time to do from 2012.
Crazy.. my captcha was "grant"...spooky!
"Poor Jill became angrier and angrier as more and more of the people she cold-called failed to grasp the concept."
So if it doesn't work lets try it? It seems Labour think its all a game.
Daft idea but thought the menu was quite witty. Just as well it is imaginary tho' who the hell would want to go?
