Sir Colin's dodgy deer velvet ad (Feb. 22, 2012)

Listeners to commercial radio have no doubt heard the Silberhorn deer velvet ad, where the revered football legend "Sir" Colin Meads asserts that "the boys", i.e., the All Blacks, have secured the World Cup. 

Sir Colin will know, like everybody else with eyes, that it wasn't "the boys" who secured the World Cup for the All Blacks, it was the (corrupt or incompetent) non-performance of the alleged referee, Craig Joubert. 

His silence about this is especially hypocritical because in 1976, Meads was one of the loudest voices condemning the bias of referees like Gert Bezuidenhout, which they blamed for the series defeat of the All Blacks. 

Now, all these years later, he chooses to turn a blind eye to a "refereeing" performance (or non-performance) that has been condemned around the rugby world. 

Either Sir Colin was either drinking a bit too much of the sponsor's fine products, or he is simply dishonest.

Referees make mistakes, certainly, and to selectively rail about an
honest mistake, as a few nuts did against Wayne Barnes in 2007, is
unwarranted and unsportsmanly behaviour.

However, the non-refereeing of Joubert in the 2011 RWC final is
something that has caused grave concern, and no doubt was the reason
the All Blacks did not win Team of the Year at the recent Laureus
Awards. The referee appears to have colluded with the cheating of one
team....

Grant, you have really gone too far.
The Earl finds it slightly amusing that you try and convince other
posters that this poster ie moi has multiple identities, but to
actually go to that much effort is just bizarre.  The Earl is somewhat
jealous of this "Radio Transcripts Ltd" person to inspire such a
devoted follower, but also finds it rather scary.

The World Cup is over and the Referee's decisions can't be altered now.

The important thing about the ad is whether this Silberhorn stuff  does any
good.
I haven't used it so wouldn't know.

But have any independent tests been done on it?

Morrissey Breen

No, but his grievous non-performance will continue to be reviewed, and
something will have to be done about it. The All Blacks have already
paid a price for it, in failing to win the Laureus Team of the Year
Award recently. French sports authorities no doubt lobbied intensely
to stop them benefiting any further from Joubert's non-performance.

We can be sure of one thing: it's certainly more robust and reliable
than a Craig Joubert refereeing non-performance.

"Dimwit"? Meads is arrogant, and he lacks the courage to speak

Prescription, certainly, and there are regulations covering the
advertising of complementary "remedies," though how extensively isn't
clear.  Manufacturers have to prove their products have been made to
strict standards and contain a consistent and clearly marked dose.  It
seems the intention is eventually to ban the advertising of blatantly
un-provable claims like "May assist in aiding or reducing...."

>It would seem

Aspirin can be harmful in some instances, and in excess can be fatal.
Again, where does one draw the line?
>

One of my principal concerns is that in New Zealand there is DTC TV
promotion of drugs that can easily kill, the ads for them including
virtually unreadable small-print warnings and disclaimers for far too
brief a period to be easily read and assimilated.

OK, so the GP still has ultiimately to authorise use of the drug, but
this kind of advertising gives enormous heft to the process of
prescribing, both via the "innocent" patient and the subliminal
messaging to the already-aware medic.

Otherwise, why would Big Drug bother?

Between 1991-2010, there were 165 criminal and/or civil settlements
involving major pharmaceutical companies who paid $19.8 billion in
penalties.

Most of these were for promoting drugs for purposes other than which they
were authorised.

Four of the world's largest drug companies--GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer,
Eli Lilly, and Schering-Plough--accounted for 53% ($10.5 billion)
of penalties during these two decades.

73% of these settlements (121) and 75% of the penalties ($14.8
billion) occurred between 2006-2010.

But government suits against the pharmaceutical industry have failed
to address the harmful human consequences--WHY?

I see no need for such nannyish concerns.

Exactly. Not only that, but to educate the patient in it's dosage.
Same for the pharmacist. Whenever I collect a prescription mine gives
me a lecture on that.

Deer velvet has a good blood supply for the growing horn.
What else would it contain that could be of medical value? Hormones?
Do they just use the velvet, or sections of the growing horn itself?

So would Black Pudding have the same benefits?

Sidenafil (Viagra etc) is always being advertised.
But it can be fatal to anyone with a heart condition, and there doesn't seem
to be much warning in the adverts.
A chemist would probably warn of any bad effects or interaction with
prescription drugs, but what of those who buy from less reputable sources,
or off the internet?

The Earl wonders why you would advertise aspirin?  It has some
miraculous properties, but as a painkiller or as a regular protection
against heart disease it has been demonstrated that the side effects
outweigh the benefits.  So to advertise it as a "common supermarket"
item is dangerous and immoral.

Slow down my friend.  Sidenafil is given to babies with some heart
conditions to improve the condition, even though it is not licensed
for the use.  To say that it can be fatl to anyone with a heart
condition is ignorant and dangerous.  It can be very useful tool in
treating some of the most complicated of congenital heart conditions
such as tetralogy of fallot and PA.

Of course it is used for heart conditions, that it is what it was originally
for.
But it is now used for another purpose, and that is when it can be dangerous
to heart patients.

(Warfarin too is used in small controlled doses for medical reasons,
But in larger quantities it is rat poison!)

Here's a surprising coincidence. Today I received an advertisement for some
expensive item called Vital3, some amazing miracle drug. It claims to stop
the immune system attacking one's joints, and to repair the cartilage.

It was sent from Philadelphia USA and makes claims that would never be
allowed here.
I have no idea how they got my address or why they think I would be
interested - or able to afford it.

Or, more likely, you know less about rugby than the average doorknob.

People who actually do know something about rugby realise two things:
that Joubert was head and shoulders the best ref at the world cup, and
that he was actually selected for the final by the imbecilic morons who
run world rugby is a miracle that makes turning water into wine look
like a playgroup birthday party magic trick.

But all this is irrelevant, isn't it Mowithey? The real reason is that
your beloved unwashed Froggy team lost the final, and you have been
sobbing and boo-hooing like a great big girl's blouse ever since.

Perhaps this will serve as an object lesson in exactly what I have been
lecturing you and various other ignoramuses on for the last decade. The
world cup is a lottery. France were purest driven shite throughout the
tournament while the All Blacks were untouchable. Did that matter? Not
to the extent of your tiny little invisible penis.

In the final, France played their best game of the year by a significant
margin, while the All Blacks made hard work of looking like average
journeymen, and France deserved to win.

But the world cup does not go to teams that deserve to win, as we all
know only too well. It goes to teams that finish with more points on the
board in the final, for whatever dodgy, debatable, inconsistent reasons
that may be.

And that's the way the croissant crumbles.

And now back to the proper rugby...

Yes, "Caspar", he had the ability to referee the match. The fact is:
he chose to not referee the match. Which meant he colluded in the
systematic cheating of the home team. Just why he did this has not yet
been definitively established.

No, "Caspar", as you know perfectly well, the point here is the
failure of Mr. Joubert to referee the final, i.e. his decision to let
one team cheat and spoil at will throughout the second half.

That's a reasonable opinion. But a lottery must be conducted FAIRLY.
This one was not.

Of course not. All that mattered was that the final was played and
refereed properly. The players in both teams fulfilled their roles,
but the referee clearly failed to do his.

Well THAT's not true, "Caspar". It wasn't even their best game of the
tournament. But that's what happens when you're playing sixteen men.

No, France deserved nothing more than being allowed to play football.
The All Black forwards realized early in the second half that the
referee would not penalize ANYTHING they did at the breakdowns, and so
France was almost unable to play any football at all.

Quite possibly the All Blacks would have won if the referee had
penalized their persistent cheating, but then again, maybe they would
not have. Joubert seemed determined to ensure that there would be no
chance of open play at all.

There's no debate about this, "Caspar". The referee failed to stop the
home team illegally and persistently killing any chance of the
visiting team playing football.

The only crumbling on view in that final was by the alleged referee.

The All Blacks benefited from having the referee turn a blind eye to
their cheating, and, yes, they won the match. But at what cost to
their reputation?
