Over the last few years we watched some great movies which were made in New Zealand. And of course we have our very own NZ representative here on myLot in the person of Val (@valmnz).
The latest of these movies that we’ve seen was ‘Hunt for the Wilder People’ starring Sam Neill who although born in Northern Ireland identifies mainly as New Zealand. The people have a quirky sense of humour and we now keep an eye out for any NZ films that might come our way.
Now, the latest NZ police recruitment video has gone viral. You can see it here hopefully: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9psILoYmCc.
If the link won’t work, googling ‘nz police recruitment video’ should. I hope you’ll try to watch. It’s very funny.
As New Zealand is into humour, I’ve used a photo of a funny sign we saw in Osterwieck, Germany. It calls attention to the dog who I gather doesn’t like postmen, house-breakers, teenagers and others.

@JudyEv - Great video! I love it when the police, in particular, use humor to get across their point. I think it is a very effective tool! I love the police officer helping the guy across the street. It looks like a very cool country! They all look in pretty good shape!

@DeborahDiane That would make your job very stressful - never knowing quite who you are dealing with.

@JudyEv - I'm sorry to hear that happens there. There are occasional home invasion robberies in Los Angeles, but not in our retirement community. We love living in our retirement community and violence of any kind is very, very rare. However, apparently this man was mentally ill and I guess that can happen anywhere. Fortunately, no one else was injured. Generally, we live a very tranquil existence. We can go for walks without locking our doors and feel very safe here. I think you would like a retirement community. There are always lots of activities!

That was a good one! Did you ever see the Fort Worth Police Department recruiting video with the Stormtrooper from Star Wars? It's hilarious!

@JudyEv Thanks for sharing this! It gave me a chuckle! This is the same type of stop-motion animation that my son likes to do. He is pretty good at making some nice videos.

@moffittjc It's so clever isn't it? I just love the waiter's voice. And he's so clueless about an 'important figure'. Always nice to see a tall poppy cut down a little.

Did the video help in getting more recruits?
I wonder.
