New Zealand fired its official wizard after 23 years.
Ian Brackenbury Channell was paid $16,000/year to perform "acts of wizardry" like rain dances, making over $300,000. His contract termination came after he made misogynistic comments about beating women, reports @guardian.

What an unbelievable breach of privacy, and wow what horrible timing. Please donโt do this.
