Call for heads to roll at More FM

A call has gone out for heads to roll at More FM as a result of the radio station’s latest photoshop joke that has gone viral and that belittled some of the most respected performers in New Zealand’s kapa haka circle.

“They are a bunch of thieving, silly and stupid people who need to get their heads inspected, perhaps even drug tested,” said Willie Te Aho of Aotearoa Kapa Haka Ltd which manages copyright issues over images taken of performances at Te Matatini - Aotearoa’s prestigious Maori performing arts festival.

“More FM never asked for permission to use our images. Then they have a cheek to steal them then chop a few heads off, skewer and bend them.

“I’m disgusted with how More FM deginerated kapa haka and the mana of performers from Te Whanau A Apanui.

“Our copyright rules are very clear and we’ll be taking the station to task over this. Let’s see if they will laugh then.”

AKHL will be filing a formal complaint and currently has its legal team looking into the copyright issue.
