The Paris Hilton of waterfalls

"The coast of Northland is one huge expanse of beach after another and we spent most of the weekend driving from one to the next, smugly remarking on how lucky we were to live within such close proximity of so many beautiful places and having the fortune to travel in such style (did I mention that we really like our van?!). En route we visited what the locals call the 'Paris Hilton of waterfalls' – not the most beautiful waterfall in New Zealand, but the most photographed."

The Rod Blagojevich of the horse world

"HSUS bears a chunk of the responsibility for the tragedy of animal suffering and abandonment that has befallen the magnificent equine. It was at the front of the ill-fated closure of horse slaughter plants, which severely diminished the value of all horses. HSUS is the Rod Blagojevich of the horse world."

The Carlos Mencia of clairvoyant robots

"So why is the Web-bot predicting a cataclysmic event in 2012? Because end of the world alarmists are flooding the Internet with tons of information alleging some apocalyptic occurrence in 2012, that's why. Seriously, it's the Carlos Mencia of clairvoyant robots."
