By Annabel McAleer

A couple of weird pictures I encountered today. First, one from Air New Zealand's US advertising campaign. Because all healthy Californian vegetarians will surely jump at the chance to travel to carnivorous New Zealand and change their carrot-munching ways? Because that idyllic country vista, sheep peacefully grazing the land, just makes you want to eat one? Weird call, Air New Zealand.

And second, the lady on everyone's lip: Sarah Palin, potential first female VP of the US. Wearing a fur stole, speaking to a group of ... vikings. The US presidential race is so much more interesting than our boring little election, don't you think?
