Default Classic Stunt?

Hi guys,
Thought you might like this one, a former league player has staged an eruption of rangitot island in Auckland to get some publicity for his new company, what do you think, funny or dangerous?

Hmmm

I dont know, he'd be busted for that here. Was it his land? Were there any environmental toxicity problems?

So the next fire prevention business sets off a smoke bomb in Auckland Tower?

Fine him I reckon, he can afford it.

It was a DOC reserve, so techically was public land, the smoke and chemicals were supposedly fertilser based so non-toxic to fauna and flora, interesting to see what happens, so police complaints as yet so ive heard....

With these crazy stunts, they shouldn't publish what they are trying to publicise. Thats what they are doing it for!
State the idiot who did it and the concern he raised to the local residents, but dont print his new business venture...complete with website address.
