I figured since there is the dratme thread why not?
Everyone seems to post Stuff articles here, so I thought I'd start the amusement with....
Cooper waiting for Hurricanes to fire
Hurricanes rugby coach Colin Cooper is waiting for his team to explode.
Why? Did he plant C4 in the changing room? Hope he has his ears muffled nicely.
clicky click

I hate stuff. I'm pretty sure the only reason it ranks as NZ's best news website is because we dont have a decent one. Almost every article in stuff has a serious type-o or ommission.
I'm constantly reading articles like "Police are investigating a sexual abuse in the city last night" - and they dont even say WHAT city?! Do we have any other good news websites?

They also have those gheyz0r video popovers.
Agreed on the typos.
I find some articles on there hard to follow. They'll have a long article about something mildly complex and name a minor-player in the saga at the start of the article, then quote them by a variation on their name (Eg, Constable Ebert Pantysniffer becomes Mr. Pantysniffer) at the end of the article so you have to look back through the article to work out who that person is.
