Last Tuesday 7 May, the ODT published their best article of the year. Entitled “Dunedin teen shakes bare bottom at police,” the 64-word piece exposes a 17-year-old Dunedin man who “allegedly [shook] his bare bottom at police officers while standing in the middle of Eglinton Rd.” Here, Critic aims to more than double that word count, making a mountain out of the molehill the ODT made out of a bum.
Police told the ODT “he dropped his pants and shook his behind at police,” before completing an about-turn and exposing the family jewels.
One commenter on the ODT’s website questioned, “Was it the bare bum or the subsequent bobbleys that got him in trouble?” – a question Critic implores police to answer as they have seen both sides of the story.
