To the Editor of The Dominion Post,
Original ArticleAfter reading about Ticketek's recent refusal to sell tickets for
Greig Wilson's Fetish Ball I was encouraged by how far we have come in
finally breaking free of our rampant secular immorality, and getting
back to good ol' "values".
But wait, aren't Ticketek also selling tickets for the international
conman Deepak Chopra?
Of course I agree we must protect our mainstream sensibilities from
being exposed to the sinful acts of a few deviants, for fear of
developing an open mind, and kinship with minority groups. But surely
we should also be protected from being fleeced by an industry built on
unfounded speculation and anecdote?
While Deepak Chopra does, admirably, celebrate diversity, this is
clearly not Ticketek's concern. Chopra's 2000 tickets at $55-$250 and
particular brand of kookery--(Prof. Pille & Mt. Palomine Institute of Mysteries©) are apparently more immune to criticism
than Greig Wilson's particular brand of diversity.
Good to see Ticketek is fighting the good fight to stifle
open-mindedness to the interests of minority groups in New Zealand,
while encouraging the abandonment of critical thinking by importing
entrepreneurial new age physicians to give us advise about our health,
well being and generally anything important in our lives, based on
junk science and superstition.
