'The Tui billboard about Christmas is not in bad taste. Yeah right.' 5 December, 2008.
- Date

- Description
Shows a billboard in Tui colours that states that the Tui billboard about Christmas is not in bad taste and gives the Tui rejoinder 'Yeah right'. The reference is to a Tui billboard in Hamilton that read 'Let's take a amoment this Christmas to think about Christ' and added the Tui 'Yeah right' quip. Some Christians took offence while others agreed with the point it was trying to make. A spokesperson for Tui said the advertisement 'was meant to be more topical than cheeky. Our message was that people aren't really thinking about family and friends any more, they're thinking about shopping and the credit crunch and how it's been turned into a cash cow by retailers'.
