It was merely a broadside aimed firmly at NY vernacular. I've noticed the same thing about 30 something NY shows. And all of the adverts seem to depict the mere male as existing as a servant for women or ignorant, thick or plain dumb. I wonder why. On seconds thoughts, maybe don't answer that.

Although the females of the nation have had to tolerate "sheilas", "chicks", "tarts"(the english word meaning sweet-filled small pie, in its original manifestation), and sundry other vernacular peculiar to our shores. JF is a loooong way from Elaine, the character I think you were referring to. Is NY really so full of crackpot women? Every show we get here seems to reference a zone full of 30-something nutters trying to maximise their oestrogen before it's all past the use-by date...... katie Actually, Zen, in polite company (although I’m flattering some posters here) NZ’ers don’t use the word “broad”.

Now, this is the kind of clean campaign voters want to see. If we run the entire election using re-runs of various cartoons to push the points, voters get entertained and we acknowledge the positive role our American friends brings to politics. Even the Greens watch American TV. You reckon JF is the broad in Seinfield? She used to sleep with Jerry, is still good friends, and gets into the most outrageous situations. Remember the episode where she shared a cab with an Exclusive Brethren? I think he ended up becoming a monk and moving to the Coromandel. Anything that uses quotes from Simpsons is alright with me.

Still I think it is terrible (though very funny). What has happened to alot of the national billboards between palmy and wellington. I thought that the burns thing was a digital joke on the internet ontly . When I saw that someone has actually done it for real. I was shocked. ps. while I loved the green bilboards up close. I really feel, that they loose their impact when zooming past on the open road. very ammusing. Still I think it is terrible (though very funny).
