NZ minister gets dildo in face after TPP signing

[cali]

Mass protests over the TPP in New Zealand did not pass by without humor and tomfoolery: the day after thousands took to the streets of Auckland, the Economic Development Minister Steven Joyce ended up being hit in the face with a projectile sex toy thrown by a woman, while speaking at Waitangi.

Joyce was an easy target, giving an interview to the press, following the February 4 signing of the TPP agreement, hailed as “the biggest trade deal in a generation.”

But several thousand protesters had gathered earlier to march against the agreement, and a sizable presence was at Waitangi as well, four hours north of the original march, in Auckland.

Shouting the words “that’s for raping our country,” the woman threw a huge pink rubber penis, hitting Joyce square in the face. Security quickly led her away.

11. This is simply the evolution of the human...

Throughout history the human has faced strife, and at times great oppression. From the tale of Exodus, where great mythical power was wielded to force the Pharaoh to free the slaves. To the Battle of Kadesh, where chariots and spears won the day. To the Yellow Turban Rebellion, where the lance and horse claimed victory. To the Wars of the Roses, where mighty engines laid siege to fallen. To the Great American Revolution, where the single soldier with musket and cannon secured their freedom. To the second world war, where battles took to the air and sea with great ships of battle... To the modern day, where great oppression is fought with a mostly turgid, hypoallergenic, and a somewhat anatomic dick.
