New Zealand: 100% Puerile

Tourism New Zealand has admitted that it has used digitally altered photos to promote tourism to the country. An image of kayakers accompanied by a pod of dolphins is actually two images bunged together - one of kayakers and one of dolphins. It is, quite simply, lying. What is most startling about this, however, is the defence that Tourism New Zealand has spouted:

In an article on the One News website, Tourism New Zealand spokesmuppet, George Hickton, is quoted as saying "This is something that happens every day in our country, and therefore it's a 100% pure New Zealand experience."

So, lying and cheating and deceiving visitors is something that happens every day in your country, huh? It's a part of the New Zealand experience? Wow! Let's go!

Idiots.
