I love reading the New Zealander. It's a newspaper for NZ ex-pats living in Australia, and it has the bizarrest news items ever seen. I'm not sure whether this is actually all the newsworthy events happening in NZ, or if they're actally trying to be amusing. They certainly manage it. Today's gem was a page 2 article about how four female students from Massey University are apparently selling their used underwear on the internet to help pay for their education. As a diligent blogger, I have of course been trying to get a visual on the site in question, but haven't had any luck thus far (but have had an eye-opening experience typing "massey university panties" into a search engine).

Official reactions to the actions of these first-year students ranged from the SA president's disgusted and vitriolic attack on the actions as being bad for women's lib and whatnot, to the national Rape Crisis spokeswoman declaring that the girls were entrepeneurs and good on them, considering how long it usually took women to pay off their university debt.

Personally, I agree with the latter opinion. Good on them. Absolutely.
