It’s a shame that KidsCan felt the pressure to pull out of their association with the calendar. Let me say, I do not see this as a reflection on KidsCan. I think they are a wonderful charity and I fully support them. I also support their decision to pull out because of pressure that was placed upon them.

What I do think is that it’s a sad reflection on our overly PC society that something that is clearly harmless fun and has come from a good place has a few vocal critics, like our friend Bob, and people actually listen to these people! There are always people who criticise the good in others. Generally these critics are people who spend all their time talking and not actually doing anything of any worth.

New Zealand has been built by good people who do, not by critical people who talk. I guess if you don’t do anything worthwhile then you feel better by criticising those who do.

Haha! A worthy goal.
