Default Course Aussies..............

lol - did you know that advert was originally banned in the UK because it had the word 'bloody' in it. The Australian tourist board were gobsmacked but in reality the banning was good publicity because it became such a talked-about advert! Anyway, obviously the prudish advertising standards authorities decided, in their wisdom, to allow the advert to be shown (possibly only after the 9pm watershed though?). imo, it's not an offensive advert and 'bloody' would be considered a very mild swear word here!

Incidentally, the advert has now been banned in Canada - not for having the word 'bloody' in it but for having the word 'hell' in it [smilie=fool!.gif]
