From Business Insider:

A new billboard from New Zealand's Tui beer has sparked outrage on the company's Facebook page for being "disgusting," "homophobic," "creepy," and an overall "disgrace."

Tui marketing manager William Papesch explained in a statement that "given the recent passing of the Same Sex Marriage Bill in Parliament," the beer maker thought it was a good idea to make a billboard that reads, "Dad's new husband seems nice. Yeah right."
