About a month ago, we told you about “the handbag incident” involving two members of the All Blacks, a New Zealand rugby team. (Here’s the short synopsis: two All Blacks go to a bar and one gets into a fight, one of them grabs a handbag and hits the other on the head, the hittee starts crying.) Well, the handbag rears its ugly head again.
Ahead of the Tri Nations rugby tournament, a television station has created a hilarious ad with footage of the All Blacks doing their bad-ass Maori war chant, the haka. However, they digitally added in some large womens handbags. Understandably, the All Blacks aren’t too happy with this.
It’s insensitive, I think, to Maori and disrespectful of the All Blacks,” New Zealand assistant coach Wayne Smith said.
