I wonder if its really an intention or just a accidental situation, but I do agree that they should have not done it considering a lot of kids value the image of Santa during Christmas and they should have not ruin the image just because they are Santarchy.

When I saw it IT MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD I ALMOST PEED MY PANTS. I thought the group probably wrote up a great press release first, alerted the press and then went out and got drunk and did the santas on a rampage thing, and lazy media organizations quoted it because it was topical and sensationalist - which is all that's needed to get in the newspaper really. It looked to me like a great media coup - like the story was mostly the work of a great satrical minds as a prank that was bait designed to get in the paper. I wound up making copies of the article and sending them to my relatives in their Christmas cards. Thank you Santarchy!

I know exactly where that is in Auckland. I stayed at a hotel in the same block as that Santa. The strangest part about it all is that it's summer down there. So you have this big giant Santa stuck on the side of Whitcoul's and it's like 80 something degrees. Ha! I know exactly where that is in Auckland. I stayed at a hotel in the same block as that Santa.

"chinese whispers" ... it's probably just a throw-back to less-PC times, similar to the "miss mary mack" rhyme that kids used to do (there were some rather non-PC comments in the rhyme--and i don't know if they still sing that, or if it's only in the States that they do this). still, in Techno Santa's defense, in the six months i spent living in Auckland, i noticed that many (and notice: i say <i>many</i>, not <i>all</i>) native Kiwis were terribly non-PC towards ANY Asians living there. but then, it might have just been the college crowd i was hanging around; but it was still kind of disturbing to hear people using racial slurs in the 21st Century. very naive of me, i know. but all that aside, i love New Zealand and miss its country-stopping sport (long-live the All-Blacks --and <i>Shortland Street</i>, which is not sport, i know, but still ...). and yay for crazy Santas! :) hmm. “chinese whispers” … it’s probably just a throw-back to less-PC times, similar to the “miss mary mack” rhyme that kids used to do (there were some rather non-PC comments in the rhyme–and i don’t know if they still sing that, or if it’s only in the States that they do this).

Those kiwi santas werent all angels but some of the reports were ludicrous. It has been really interesting watching the story spread and witnessing the behaviour of the world's press. It goes to show you should question everything you read, especially on the Internet. Its great to see that you guys at Santarchy.com changed your tune when you saw the other side of the story.
