As winter approaches, there has been a lot of buzz on social media about blankets. The phrase 'Give me a blanket, give me a blanket' has gone viral on Facebook. Many people have made funny videos, while some are joking around with blankets.
But why did Facebook suddenly become flooded with discussions about blankets? This has sparked curiosity among many. The incident traces back to the New Zealand Parliament, where young politician Hana-Rahiti Maipi-Clark performed the traditional Māori "haka" song. This week, members of parliament chose to protest a bill related to the Māori community by performing the haka.
One of the words in the song sounded like (give me a blanket), but the actual word is "kamate kamate." The haka is a protest song, and there is no connection between the song and blankets.
