#Ponytailgate is incredibly weird and creepy.
Reddit users and a Tumblr blog have started posting photos of New Zealand prime minister John Key touching girls' ponytails and it's incredibly creepy.

Key is engulfed in a remarkable local scandal, some people are calling "#ponytailgate", after it was revealed a cafe waitress told the prime minister to stop puling her hair at work.
"In the Court of King John, someone needs to tell the Prime Minister when he is behaving like a jerk," wrote prominent Kiwi journalist, John Armstrong, in the New Zealand Herald on Thursday.
Key has apologised and tried to dismiss his actions as "a bit of banter" but threats of legal action and questions over his character have continued to mount.
