You were one of the bloody rubberneckers pissing people off by sight-seeing in their wrecked streets.

Saving grace is... at least you made a video worthwhile as a good watermark.

So yeah, you suck for touring when people were at their most fragile, but you made something special out of it that's worth looking back on.

How the hell do I sum that up... Um... it's an awesome video.... asshole?

Nup too hard.... great vid, chum.

The most devastating thing was the KFC coupons which had fallen onto the floor.

Again.. the water is not from burst pipes .. but that is squeezed out of the ground, and brings with it the silt..

@abcnewzealand Yea. KFC sucks. If they were Burger Baron coupons I might be moved to a little bit of sympathy but come on man. KFC? Yuck. On a lighter note, given that NZ has had 4000 aftershock quakes over the course of a year, they should make buildings that can withstand stuff like this. Like Japan.

@abcnewzealand It's called Mad World.
