I’m a huge fan of TV3 News but tonight they blew it, big time. First item up was the re-opening of the police investigation into the 1980 murder of Auckland photographer Simon Buis. It closed with a description of the clothes he was wearing: shirt, jacket, brown corduroy trouser and “brown – not blue – suede shoes”.

Too right, Stephen. The death of anyone or, indeed, any group, is not a cause for a joke. Someone crossed the line tonight.
I saw that too! I couldn't believe that they were making a joke out of someone's death. I sat staring at the tv, my mouth agape for a good couple of minutes. The comment was completely out of line. I have written to tv to complain, although my parents (who watch 3 news more than I)have told me little 'jokes' like that are not exactly rare.
Good lord, that's tacky....
Totally agree - I also saw that and also was incredibly unimpressed. It's appalling.
