NEW ZEALAND: Following the recent panic in the Kiribati Islands caused by the Spinner announcement that a U.S led invasion of the islands was imminent, staff at Spinner have offered to travel to the islands to apologise, surf, and maybe do some diving.

“We at Spinner deeply regret any offense or distress that we have caused,” stated a Spinner spokesperson. “We would therefore appreciate any offer from the U.S. and N.Z. governments, to pay for a goodwill mission to the Kiribati‘s, so that we may express our remorse in person to the Kiribati people."

"Say is it true that the surf off the east coast is amazing? Also I hear there are a lot of World War Two wrecks you can dive on out there? Can you rent equipment or should we bring our own? How about accommodation? Imagine if they put us up in a 5 star hotel on the beach! That would be unreal!”
