New New Zealand stamp blunder

Before Rodney can jump in with rude jokes about New Zealanders and sheep,
here's news of the latest screwed up stamp design to come out of the country
I love. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/index.cfm?ObjectID=10006952

Turns out that the stamp (from a country whose economy is founded on sheep)
shows a cross-dressing parent sheep with two lambs. All that's missing is a
handbag, a pipe and a touch of lipstick.

G'day John,
It's a painting, therefore it's protected under "interpretation"
It does look at little odd, but fairly consistant with a lot of modern
Pacific area "semi cartoons" as I see them.

If we go back in time, can you name one painting of the baby Jesus
that actually looked like a newly born child? To me, it always seemed
that Mary had been in labour for around 20 months.

........and if anyone had an axe to grind, what about poor old Winnie Churchill?
I have seen some absolute rank interpretations of his countenance on stamps

Nice Story though.

Rude jokes? me? never happen
