Couldn’t find enough unemployed so resorted to photoshop

Thought you might like this.

In the absence of being able to find an unemployment queue the Business Herald took about 4 people and photoshopped them over the top of eachother with different tops, hair do etc. A couple of girls even appear 3 times in the same shot.

Maybe there are only a total of 4 unemployed people in New Zealand? Either way this lot were employed for this shot!

    Is that Pork Chop in the dole queue?!

      Must be. She couldn’t swing it to be the DPB queue, anyway.

      (Sorry Brian)

      Pork Chop is a lot bigger then that Andrew, more likely to find Pork Chop in a buffet queue if you want to go looking for her.

    I find it ironic that increased unemployment is spurring talk of interest rate cuts, which will of course stoke the Auckland housing maket. This will in turn lead to higher house prices and landlords chasing increased rent. Which will be paid for by the tax payer in the form of accommodation supplements. A sad example of a perverse incentive, and why the welfare state doesn’t work.

    I think the girl in orange is different, shes fat on the right hand side but quite tidy on the left

    Perhaps they should read the front page of today’s Taranaki Daily News. Energy and dairy give region employment boost. We have one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country . I can imagine if we had a coalition of the mentally retarded, these industries would be the first to feel their wrath. Melons particularly despise dairy and energy production. I wonder how they reconcile their warped views that these industries are presumanly so bad, work in combination in a region to produce the lowest unemployment rate in the country.

      I am bringing another Philopino into the country as we speak. I advertised for a month and the local crew are fucken unemployable. I am sick of absenteeism,regular police visits and all that unnecessary drama. The Govt needs to factor in to their equations that our welfare state has destroyed the arse end of another generation.

    Well I never! Wonder – are they NZ Herald employees as well? Good spotting whoever spotted this. Reckon the girl at the end of the queue borrowed the jacket from the 5th person in the queue and also borrowed the 6th person’s bag. Oh hang on – the 5th person is the same as the last person except she has her hair down. Wait a minute – think she is also the 3rd person. 8 and 12 have the same jacket and 8 and 12 are also the 2nd person and 8, 12 and 2 have the same jeans on. Sloppy, sloppy work NZ Herald. Definitely one for NZ Herald’s “Sideswipe”. Please expalin NZ Herald and come clean and tell the “TRUTH”. What else are being conned about? I can think of a few “elses”.

    They’ve made the girl second from the right look like an amputee…unless of course she is an amputee and then I unreservedly apologise

      Go four spaces further over and her hand magically reappears holding a hand bag.

    Yesterday’s Auckland Herald editorial meeting -

    LD: I was at Downton Abbey in Herne Bay last night. David Cunliffe wants us to do more “put down” national stories. I have to admit it’s bloody hard to find some negatives.

    DH: We could manipulate the latest unemployment figures to find an angle.

    TM: Find me a picture of a dole queue for today’s front page

    LD: There are no dole queues.

    TM: Liam, if you persist with this negative attitude you’ll be in the dole queue.

    DH: I have John Minto’s number – we could rent a crowd.

    TM: Nah they’re far too old and unwashed – we want some students and maybe Kim Dot Com.

    LD: We need to publish an issue without Kim Dot Com on the front page. Market research says that people are thinking he owns the Herald.

    DH: We could just Photoshop a picture – nobody will ever know cause we are getting really skilled at this high tech stuff.

    TM: Great! Get a junior to write the story then we’ll massage it. Dave you edit it because I don’t know what time I’ll be back from lunch with David Shearer.

      Better than clever – genius! And that’s how it probably went down
