Demon Drinks refused to answer questions about whether it released the photos, or what thought was given to the possible victims of the bomb.

A statement from promotions and sponsorship co-ordinator Will Seal said Demon Drinks regularly ran competitions for consumers to send in “humorous and entertaining photos”.

I was talking to someone last night on MSN did not see the gravity of the situation that these photos have put NZ in.

Lets spell it out this way.

NZ currently has no combat troops in Afghanistan. We had the SAS there, and they may go back.

We have no fighter planes or bombs there. We actually own no fighter planes.

For the last twenty or so years NZ has prided itself on being a pacifist and being peace keepers not war makers.

Last week John Key and Kevin Rudd announced closer ties between Australian and New Zealand Defence Forces, if more of this is going to be result then we better pull out now. It is going to destroy the values that NZ has fought so hard for.
