Sean Plunket - if you're reading, I just want to write this in big capital letters, so you understand.

THIS IS SATIRE.

Have a great weekend, Matua.

Another great read Matua. How appropriate for watermelons .. green on the outside and red in the middle. Bet they're not serving pigeon pie at their mindfulness session 🤣 but in the words of Nicola Willis ".. spare a thought for Chloe Swarbrook, she wants to save a plant that she doesn't even live on."

It maybe satire, but it is so close to the truth.

In the tradition of John Clarke, A.K. Grant, Jon Gadsby, David McPhail, Billy T James, plus numerous cartoonists. Keep up the great work.

Brilliant! You had me laughing at the title, before reading on. Thoroughly enjoyed your satire this morning. Enjoy your day 😀 and may Chloe stay out of your way today!!

Laughter is the best medicine and satire is subversive.

A stark reminder of one of Woke’s myriad shortcomings…total absence of humour. 👏

How telling though that a NZ columnist has to advise that the article is satire. We don't seem to 'do' written or spoken word play very well. But like the watermelon this was delicious.
