The following is from Ife and a Kiwi Xenite
"I just saw a promo for bro' Town with LL in it.  Her animated self is standing in front of the seated school students in a red dress.  She raises her arms in the air and gives a Xena war cry. Some students repeat the war cry. They're doing a range of different promos on TV3 with all the different guests who appear in the series."

As well as writing Niu Sila, you have been involved in transforming your Naked Samoans comedy group into cartoon characters for a show called bro'Town. Let's talk about both.

Bro'Town is a primetime animated sitcom that's going to hit New Zealand in a few months on TV3. It's going to be awesome. We grew up watching Fat Albert -- it was a cartoon and they were dark as well.
