Kenya’s camels recently started sporting some unusual apparel: eco-friendly refrigerators!

A paint-bomb attack on a controversial Christmas billboard will not stop the church from continuing its campaign, church leaders said yesterday.
A replacement has been ordered after the billboard was defaced about six hours after it was put up outside St Matthew-in-the-City in Auckland.

Church leaders at St Matthew’s said the point of the image was to get people thinking about the Christmas story.
