Taking crony capitalism to new depths:

‘The owner of a car dealership giant has labelled trademark rules around the use of the words All Blacks as “ridiculous” after his staff were told to change a message supporting the team.
Founder and chairman of Giltrap Audi Colin Giltrap criticised the regulations enforced by the New Zealand Rugby Union this week.
“It’s bloody ridiculous – absolute stupidity. I’ve never heard anything so stupid in my life,” he said…
………The International Rugby Board, Rugby New Zealand, Ministry of Economic Development and local councils across the country have been working together to stop non-sponsor brands getting free publicity through association with the event…’  source
But it’s just fine for people to be inconvenienced and for taxpayers to underwrite the costs of this event in order for the IRB and Rugby New Zealand to make a profit..
  Thieving, totalitarian bastards.
