'Offensive' Tui billboard takes a hasty flight

Although you know what they say about New Zealand: If it's not raining, it's just about to.

Why do you think it's so green?

And that's why we're called the Land of the Long White Cloud Smoke.

Yet somehow billboards like this one are okay.

Hate to play Devil's Advocate here, but I don't think anyone ever said that sign as okay. I am certain many Christians, Americans, and atheists would find that billboard extremely offensive. I've never heard of anyone try to legitimately justify such an extremist statement.

Here's the contact information on the billboard. For some reason, it was posted at the bottom.

Rev. E. F. Briggs
P.O. Box 9066
Monongah, WV 26554

EDIT: Upon further reading of the original source, it turns out that Reverend Briggs died in 2006, so writing letters in order to persuade him to take down that sign are probably useless, seeing that he probably isn't going to end up reading them. However, I do like ganzfeld's suggestion.
