A Townsville resident recently viewed the New Zealand Herald website and was surprised by the number of illustrated advertisements which popped up offering Townsville bargains for a wide range of items including repossessed cars "almost being given away ."
Also being given away in Townsville were unsold emergency generators . Seniors could book for "almost nothing " on empty cruises departing from Queensland . Attractive new container houses in Townsville were also cheap .
It is assumed this flood of el cheapos was due to algorithms or the dreaded AI and the fact that the viewer was in Townsville . It is sincerely hoped the advertisements were not part of a dastardly scam to catch unwordly Kiwis made to believe Townsville is now where kind old Santa , in shorts , T-shirt and thongs ( called jandals in Kiwiland ) , resides due to North Pole climate change, and runs the vast free presents distribution from there .
