- Description
A newsreader, reads out 'Scary hairy news'. In the background are comments such as 'It sounds so horrific...and filthy...and stinkingly biological...Does anyone actually know what it means???', 'Who cares what it means...Its got a powerfully evocative onomatopoetic evil about it that is a newsreader's dream', 'Botulism Botulism Ka Botu! Ka Botu! It could be the next great All Black haka...' A small voice on the edge of the cartoon protests 'It's not a laughing matter'. In the foreground are monstrous figures emerging from 'toilets and long-drops' and 'outfall and outflows'.
Accompanying note from cartoonist states: 'The word "Botulism" is everywhere in the media right now, but in our world of spin and 'once-over-lightly', no one explains what it means. Cartoon shows a visual image of the what the word 'suggests' on its own.'
There was a botulism scare in the possibility of the existence of the disease in Fonterra products, which occurred in July-August 2013.
