TVNZ upholds moustache complaints against Henry

The Herald reports:

TVNZ has upheld viewer complaints against Breakfast host Paul Henry after he commented that a female guest had a moustache.

I’d take that more seriously if it wasn’t the same TVNZ whose staff very quickly got the comments out on You Tube, so 100,000 extra people could see them.

Henry had been spoken to and told on-air editorial decisions were not his to make and that he must adhere to the executive producer’s decisions.

That must be the “I’ve got a voice in my ear telling me not to read them out”!

Oh dear – as I type this he may have just done it again – but accidentially. They had a reporter in a lawyer’s office – in the photocopier room and they were talking about if any items of clothing had even been found in there. Henry then said he is sure all sorts of shenigans happen in there and that if you lift up the photocopier lid, there is probably a crack on the glass.

It took only a second for the possible second meaning of this to strike Henry, but his reaction was nothing compared to Ali Mau who absolutely lost it on screen.
