Description: Two bombers are on the way to Iraq; one of them has the words, 'Baghdad or bust' painted on its side. One of the pilots radios to the other that Transit New Zealand wants him to take out Colin Meads billboard advertising the Super 12 franchise and promoting the Waikato Chiefs' rugby team. The sign advertising the Super 12 franchise was recently gifted to Colin Meads by the Waikato Rugby Union. Colin Meads, the All Black great decided to erect the billboard on the edge of his farm, so that traffic passing along SH3 just south of Te Kuiti could get a good view of it. Transit New Zealand has objected because it is advertising something other than farming matters. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
