more live than liveness itself

Seems as though this blog is no longer deader than Kenneth Thompson, Wendie's request, etc.
Here's a story that should warm the cockles of your heart... it's not just run of the mill journos who are struggling to make ends meet on their slightly less than Anderson Cooper wages. Doctors in New Zealand are also finding it hard to get by- like this Northland GP who decided to convert his faltering medical practise into- what else- a brothel.
Apparently things haven't been going so well for his new business the last couple of months either. Fortunately a couple of Canadian TV producers stepped in last week and bought the rights to his story.
Rob- do you know who these people are, and are they really TV producers?

A brothel is opened by a doctor in New Zealand and it’s called Whalers?

Matt, I think either Monty Python, or more likely Benny Hill, is running your health care system.

Next, a dentist will close up shop in favor of opening a hot oil massage parlor. It’s a natural next step.

Rob- while I concede there is an air of farce surrounding this story, you should note Dr. Benson got his medical training in Canada...

Thanks for bringing that point to light, Lord Peddie.

On behalf of Canada, however, I hereby grant New Zealand the full entitlement to the talents of Dr. Pervo and his sexdroid army.

"Dr Pervo and his Sexdroid Army"
has potential as a B movie title- I'm thinking a sequel to Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman
