House of Free Creativity
This blog is dedicated to promoting freedom of expression in New Zealand. Often that will involve pointing out what’s wrong with the situation in New Zealand.
To get things in perspective, though, it’s worth noting that things are far, far worse in other parts of the world. Like in Turkmenistan.
Earlier this week, President ‘Turkmenbashi’ Saparmurat Niyazov, the man who puts the ‘menace’ in ‘Turkmenistan’, opened the House of Free Creativity (pictured right) and dedicated it to a free media. This is in a country where the government completely controls the media, where contact with foreigners is illegal, where libraries have been ordered closed, and where the only readily available books are those written by the Turkmenbashi himself, such as his gripping sequel to the Koran.
No doubt many people will be accused of having dictatorial tendencies in future posts on this blog but they are all mere amateurs compared to the relentlessly grandiose Turkmenbashi.
Hat tip: Boing Boing.
