Beer and Christmas

Tui Beer run a billboard ad campaign in New Zealand based around their “Yeah right” slogan. A single blokey statement followed up by the response “Yeah right.”

Favourites of mine include:

“We didn’t need Mehrts.”
“Aerial spraying is safe.” (If you live in West Auckland or Hamilton then you’ll understand)
“It’s true – a guy in the pub told me.”
“There is definitely money in the account.”

With all the Christmas promotional stuff going on and the nice “sanitised” baby Jesus (blonde with blue eyes on the cards) being bandied about I thought I add my own billboard celebrating the birth of God as a Palestinian Jew 2000 years ago.

Now then, who’s for a drink?
