14 DAY TRIAL // Last week, New Zealand Prime Minister announced that, contrary to what some people might think, he was not a shapeshifting lizard from outer space.
John Key did not make this statement on a dare, or looking to stir some giggles and avert folks' attention from some serious issues that he did not feel like discussing in public.
On the contrary, he was responding to one man's request that he prove he was not a reptilian alien whose sole goal in visiting our planet was to enslave the human race, Huffington Post tells us.
Media reports say that the man who asked Prime Minister John Key to clarify whether or not he was a space creature with a hidden agenda is Shane Warbrooke from Auckland.
Thus, it was back in January when Shane Warbrook put in an Official Information Act demanding that John Key present evidence that he was not “a David Icke-style shapeshifting reptilian alien ushering humanity towards enslavement.”
Politicians have been known not to speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth at all times, which is why the Prime Minister felt the need to stress that both a doctor and a vet could confirm that he was not a reptilian alien.
“I've taken the unusual step of not only seeing a doctor but a vet, and both have confirmed I'm not a reptile,” John Key reportedly said.
“I've never been in a spaceship, never been in outer space, and my tongue's not overly long either,” he went on to add.
Talking to the press, Shane Brooke admitted that he expected John Key to deny his accusations, and said that he was overjoyed to hear that the Prime Minister was not working alongside aliens to rob the human race of its liberty.
He did, however, complain about the fact that it was only 20 days after he had put in his Official Information Act that John Key answered him.
