- Description
Shows a Gandalf-like wizard leading a group of people away from a large wave, across a plain and towards a large gated wall - "Hurry! We must get across the Plain of Mediocrity and reach the Gated Community of Insouciance before we are overtaken by The Wave of Mild Nausea!". They reach the gate Gandalf says "Curses! Our path is blocked by the Fence of Galv. [Galvanised] Dipped, Wanky Ostentation!...& The Lock of Placemakers.". Gandalf raises his wooden staff above him and says "I call upon The Forces of Droll Absurdism to provide The Key of Salvation!!". From his wooden staff appears John Key, the newly appointed leader of the National Party, couching on the ground Gollum-like - "?" "UH OH!".
