Aaron Smith naughty boy?
-
@Bones Interesting, and notice that this is not being reported on Stuff and all the Aaron Smith articles seems to have miraculously disappeared. Who can sue though because if it's only Smith (or his partner) they will just be wanting to put this all behind them now.
I'm just glad the terrible stuff I got up to when I was his age was pre internet and before anyone had the ability to record things. Imagine anyone on here how it would feel to have your prime minister condemn you.
this is making my blood boil now and if he pisses off overseas I'll be ropeable but won't blame him.
Being called out by a pony tail puller because a pious person says your're special because your face is on a weetbix packet. makes no sense.
-
I was nearly going to comment a while back that Stuff seemed to have seen sense and had let some real news take precedence, but it now looks like they are running for cover.
Good job.
The last line of that article is bang on. What the fuck was Key making comment for anyway? -

Please please someone sue the pompous filming family, the media outlets and John Key and let's at least attempt to set the world right about what's actually news and privacy.
Thought the ABs threw him under a bus too actually.
How about that old fucker who tried to take John Key, and in another instance, John Banks to task in court? He could finally do something useful
-
and AS seems able to control what he says at least, and has made headlines for shutting down his twitter account...so yeah, pretty much exactly like Trump

My sentiments exactly. Sue the pants off the bloody couple and reveal their names.

It was a (relatively) private space and clearly his team mates and management had no idea or he would have flown back from Argentina rather than flying on to SA. So he was dobbed in to his employer, the public and the prime minister for cheating on his partner.
It wasn't for having sex in a disabled toilet as they sat on the video for several days while the pervert husband googled Smith to confirm it was not his partner. They were not going to do anything up to that point and if they were, well the husband (or wife) could have walked up to Smith tapped him on the shoulder and said mate can i have quiet word - we saw that back there, you need to pull yr head in. And if they did not have the marbles to do that, then it probably wasn't a world-altering problem to begin with.
Instead we get the passive aggressive don't confront the actual person but instead invade their privacy by telling everybody else in the world.
The wife thinks young kids should not have to deal with their stars on weetbix packets being naughty. Her solution is to broadcast the naughtiness to all kids, when they would have had no idea otherwise.
At least I live in a country where this is not news so I don't need to discuss this with my kids. We watched the test yesterday and my 10 year old son just assumed Aaron Smith is injured. Yes son he's injured (penis injury).

This is it for me in all these sorts of cases. Such a hypocritical thing to say when this and most alcohol/late night incidents would never be seen by any kids if it wasn't for the media broadcasting it and making a big deal out of "poor role models"
If your kid asks what the noises from the disabled toilets are you tell them to mind their own business you don't start recording it. I would love for them to get exposed and get in shit for their actions which are far worse for society than what Smith did. -
The role models thing is a bit weird, what kind of fuckwit outsources teaching their kids right from wrong to someone they only know from watching them toss a ball around every week or so?
I'm a bit disappointed they haven't been named yet and the way our courts are if they do get sued they will probably get name suppression.

Aaron Smith has subjected to his employer to a week of negative media attention. People can say that this media attention was unwarranted, but his actions have damaged the NZRU's brand, even if only temporarily. When he decided to do what he did, he was in team uniform and was at the airport in an official, working capacity.

Aaron Smith has also greatly helped his employer make millions of dollars. Suggest the NZRU realise that it's core spending market are torn between commenting "what's the big deal?" to "fuck Nugget you legend"
The amount of times I've been at an airport waiting for a saucy minx to stroll up and suggest a quick knee trembler in the bogs...well played both parties in my humble opinion.
The money and publicity keep flowing on a 17 game winning streak and wowsers who get upset with this aint forking out dosh for rugby.
Hope our sensitive wee bullet passer doesn't cop too much more grief from now.
And Key can fuck off!

"It was actually my wife who wished to go to the media and it has therefore caused a lot of strain in our relationship this past week,'' he said.
"I would like to formally apologise to Aaron Smith and the rugby union for reporting the story.''

They could have gone to the NZRU not the media, and then not recorded it...I think the latter in particular is what makes people more angry at them.

What a fucknuckle.
It wasn't meeeeeeee. My wife wanted toooooooooooo.
Uh, so why did you record the incident on YOUR phone then? You could have left the bathroom, with your kiddie, AT ANY TIME.
And I hope you are having a shitty time, you and your shitty moral hypocrite of a wife. You suck as people.

@Mokey TBF, I guess if his missus was like you gotta give me that clip to send to the media....although, now he's saying it was her is gonna get him in heaps of shit too!
It's the recording part he needs to man up and take responsibility for
