YUP TO THE CUP
Wellington woman Rosie Neilson, 26, experienced a miraculous ethical transformation this afternoon.
The part time virtue signaller had spent the morning on social media, posting a series of impassioned tweets about today’s Melbourne Cup, with the hashtag #NupToTheCup, to people in her echo chamber.
“Money over morals! Showcasing extreme drunkenness, gambling and animal cruelty just for entertainment?” one Tweet read, quickly followed by “Do people think it’s okay to drink irresponsibly and glamourise the abuse of animals? Do better. #NupToTheCup ”
However soon after 5 pm, the Aro Valley resident changed her tune after learning her boyfriend Kade landed the boxed trifecta, instantly pocketing a few thousand dollars. Knight’s Choice won the great race, meaning she would benefit directly from the exact event she had been against.
“Look, I still care about animal welfare, alright? But this is basically life-changing money,” said Neilson as she excitedly scrolled through Airbnbs in Bali.
“It’s not like they can undo the race now, anyway,” she concluded, also liking her boyfriend’s post on Facebook celebrating their monetary gain from gambling.
More to come.
