New Zealanders are renown worldwide as being a fairly easy-going and laid-back bunch. There’s not much that’ll rattle a kiwi.

Talking about South African rugby will raise the temperature a bit, but New Zealand has nearly got over the 1995 Rugby World Cup final. The French government’s terrorist bombing of the Rainbow Warrior in Auckland Harbour back in 1985 will also cause a bit of a stir and not really a topic for polite conversion.

Messing with the Haka is also a big no-no.

I’ve got to question what exactly French video game publisher Ubisoft was thinking when they decided to release a video of those cheeky Rabbids performing their rather questionable version of New Zealand’s beloved Haka. Fiat did a similar thing with one of their ” target=”_blank”>car adverts which caused quite an uproar, if I remember right.

Here’s Ubisoft’s blurb that accompanies the Rabbids Haka video that I’ve embeded below.

Watch out! The Rabbids All Blacks are entering the Rugby World Cup 2011. And they are making a strong impression on their opponent with their most famous haka! Or should we say bwaaahka?
