Description: In the top frame three men with hoods covering their faces are tied to posts and two soldiers take aim. Text reads 'For impersonating a pilot, for attempting to breach Airport security, you are sentenced to death...' In the lower frame Prime Minister John Key says 'Nah! Relax, just kidding, set them free. You're right! Hoaxes can be such fun...' Context: A stunt by three television "clowns" has fallen flat on its face, landing the trio in court for impersonating a pilot and trying to enter a secure area of Auckland Airport. The proximity to the anniversary of September 11 and the Rugby World Cup were pointed to as particularly poor timing for the prank.
