Leprechaun hurling condemned in New Zealand

A 4ft 6ins New Zealander who lets people hurl him along a slippery slide as bar entertainment has defended himself against claims the act is demeaning.

"I love putting smiles on people's faces, making people happy," said Andrew Roigard.

He entertains drinkers at the Mount Mellick bar at Mount Maunganui, in the North Island., where the event is billed as "leprechaun hurling".

Mr Roigard dons boxer shorts and a crash helmet and covers himself in vegetable oil as bar patrons propel him head first along a 6metre-long plastic sheet.

But Katy Sinclair, liaison officer for Little People of New Zealand, says the contest gives all little people a bad name.

She adds Mr Roigard is jeopardising his health because his condition puts immense pressure on his spine, joints and muscles, reports DPA.

So the guy enjoys doing it, other people enjoy it, he doesn't see anything wrong with it, and some nazi tells him its not ok because he is demeaning himself?

This falls inline with something ive always wondered... say you take naked pics of yourself as a minor... then release them at 18+, is that still exploitation of a minor?

Can't send kinky sex magazines to New Zealand either. They are just no fun.

On the other hand, when my parents lived in New Zealand I had a good excuse not to mail them magazines I was working on.

Sarah_Jayne · 10-01-2003, 05:09 PM

Yeah, found that out the hard way

chodadog · 10-01-2003, 10:29 PM

I am sick to death of these do-gooders putting their noses in where they're not welcome. The guy enjoys doing it, but they are going to "help" him whether he likes it or not. Fucking assholes.

sacX · 10-01-2003, 10:33 PM

uh, no where in that article says they're gonna stop him.. they just expressed their opinion that it was demeaning.

Actually publishing Blue Blood in print, the magazines were routinely seized by customs at entry to both New Zealand and Canada and a few other places.
