- Description
The cartoon shows an office where tickets for the Rugby World Cup and for the Football World Cup can be bought. Because of the high prices there are advertisements for available mortgages and loans pinned to the wall. A man in the queue reads a newspaper report about a fourteen year old girl who hit a shark on the head with her boogie board and the man at the counter points to the newspaper report and shouts that 'they need a belt on the ear with a boogie board'. Refers to the high prices for these sports events and a true story about 14 year old Lydia Ward successfully fighting off a shark by hitting it with her boogie board at Oreti Beach in Southland. This story has hit news headlines around the world.
