Photo of the Day - 29 January 2013
Sir Paul Holmes is generally regarded to be on his last legs, and his family has requested privacy.
So look who turned up yesterday, splashing his photograph around social media and the papers, all the while making sure that the helicopter was visible in the background:
Kim Dotcom's ego seems to know no bounds.

He was invited.
He may well have been Laura. But flashing his visit all around the country and the world by social media when Sir Paul's family has requested privacy seems a little gauche. It also suggests that Kim Dotcom is interested in nothing other than self-promotion.
wrt Mr LGG: He has chosen to live here, he has passed all the hurdles, and was held up as a leader in the Internet and IT business world.
He is innocent until proven Guilty, as our Law, based upon the Magna Carta, details.
As such, speculation to any criminal intent or business activity upon Mr Dot Kom is just that. Speculation - regardless of prior allegations/convictions.
The US government had to fabricate fake evidence to entrap him. They used their pasty patsy John Key, and subverted our entire Police and Legal system for nothing.
If Sir Paul's family had not wanted the LGG to "flash his visit all around the country and the world by social media" - then I believe they would have asked and he would have respected this request - imho.
Look, on the right, it's a pillock in front of a hillock!
Holmes was all over Sunday giving an excruciating interview. There's no coercion here, and why would Holmes be ashamed of being photographed with Dotcom? He's not a Minister in John Key's administration and he's not taking secret donations from him, so he doesn't have to keep things on the down low.
Good boy for hating Dotcom though. It's just what JK wants of you.
Edward/Judge/Hal/Wes - whatever he's decided to call himself today is right . . . this National Party smear campaign against Dotcom via their bloggers like Farrar and WhaleJowls is all too obvious.
I will start by saying that I have no time for Dotcom, I don't like him at all, in saying that though, what I am about to say has the unfortunate side effect of perhaps defending him in this, at the very least being indifferent to his publishing of this picture.
When it comes to requests for privacy, the media have in the past shown very little adherence to the requests, except when it is one of their own, this to me smacks of hypocrisy. They are falling over themselves to respect the privacy of Sir Paul Holmes (don't get me wrong he has every right to it if he so wishes - but so do we all), but they have very little respect for the privacy or wishes of the families of our fallen soldiers. If Sir Paul did not want a picture splashed over social media, then he shouldn't have posed for it, or even invited Dotcom to visit, so in this, I don't care that a photo of Sir Paul with Dotcom has been put on Social Media. In my view it is not as bad as a media outlet showing no respect for the wishes of the family of a dead soldier, which one media outlet did last year, forcing Defence, and the family, into releasing his name earlier than the family wanted.
