Would somebody please shoot me

Seriously. I've had enough of this crap.

Premium NZ wine leaking into spy network

"Marlborough’s award-winning wine Spy Valley has attracted growing worldwide attention this year because of its undercover name.

Spying will reach a peak in the year 007."

I wonder who the genius was that came up with this one. And we're only knocking on the door of 2005. Does that mean that we could have another two years of this 'uber-cheese' promtion?

"Some of our best cellar door customers are the employees of the American spy base who find good humour in the brand, enjoy the quality of the wine.

"They love posting Spy Valley wine and our promotional clothing to their friends and colleagues overseas: the Spy network is working! "The 007 vintage is in the planning stage but naturally we have great ideas connecting the year 007 and Spy!"

So maybe television is a little closer to reality than I thought. I sort of assumed that every undercover agent wasn't a total hottie, globetrotting in disguise, kicking ass and trying to solve Romaldi's, Rombaldi, or DaVinci's code. In truth, I sort of enjoy the show, the lady is a freak for it.

Then there's this:

"America’s leading wine magazine, the USA Wine Spectator rated the Spy Valley wines all above 88 points this year. The Wine Spectator is a US buyers bible and their ratings are taken very seriously by the US consumer. Wines are ranked out of 100 points so to get a 90 or above is the magic number to have. The Spectator is also shipped globally and has a huge distribution and readership."

Damnit!
