- Description
The cartoon shows the vague spooky image of a person. Text reads 'Samoans prayed for a safe switch to driving on the left... then a vision of the Virgin Mary... disguised as a coke bottle appeared on a church wall'. Below the image is the word 'APIArition' referring to the apparition appearing in Apia, the capital of Samoa and making a play on the words. Refers to the decision to switch to driving on the left in accordance with New Zealand and Australia. Many Samoans believe there will be chaos and there is strong resistance. A week after Samoans prayed en masse for a safe switch to driving on the left, a vision of the Virgin Mary has appeared on a church wall. Believers say the wavering form, shaped like a Coca-Cola bottle, is clearly that of Mary with a rosary in her hands. Others say it looks more like Christ.
