Craig | Ashley | RussellSo this will be the end, I hope, of posts re the Bloody Australian campaign.
The back story is that someone with a great sense of humor made a great sendup of the campaign and got a threatening letter from Tourism Australia. Wankers.

Gerry, why you ever thought that radio, especially AM radio, was going to make a buck is beyond me.
Now, all you have to do to get that mil and half back (plus a shit load more) is to invest in podcasting. Get your people to call my people.
You’ve got my number.
Looks like the tourism minsiter will be off again to try and save this ad in Canada from being pulled. Did no one at Tourism Austraia or M&C do any research outside of their collective wankeries? At this rate, the minister will have done a full round of the world by the end of the year.
How’s the national health system? How’s the deficit? This ouldbe funny if wasn’t so sad.

So Australia helps the US invade Iraq, in fact SAS were first in taking out (that’s a military euphemism for killing people and blowing things up) strategic facilities.
Then Austrlai gets caught scamming the old Iraqi regime in a UN Food for Oil/Oil for Food scheme.
And now Australia is pissed they don’t want to buy our wheat.
Go figure.

So now you don’t even need a network to show your programs. You just make them and promote them yourself the way you want. Forget about the crap of worrying what the other networks are going to put up against your show. Just put it out there and the fans grow – or the show dies. Complete control at your fingertips, not someone elses.

Had the laptop hooked up to the TV watching some West Wing (Season 7 Ep 13), Lost (Season 2 Ep 14) and Sopranos (Season 6 Ep 1) on Sunday PM. Experimented with watching dl.tv and Diggnation video podcasts – very cool. TV stations are dead, they just don’t know it – perhaps 9 does, that’s why Kerry gave it to ‘One-Tel’ James and put Eddy in charge.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha – idiots. Did no one do a creds check on this girl before hiring her to be the ‘face’ of Australia? Obvioulsy not.
Oh great. So now the poms get to see the crappiest ad for Australia ever made. Interesting as it was made by a pommy agency (M&C Saatchi) and probaly written by a couple of geezas with visas anyway.
Where the bloody hell is good Australian advertising?

So the federal minister for tourism is heading to the UK ona junket to get a crap ad back on air. M&C Saatchi, the English owned agency has already tried to spin the UK court order in a face saving exercise but alas that worked so well the Australian Government has decided to throw good money after bad by sending a minister and her entourage to the old dart to try fix another monumental fuck up. This is where our taxes go…

There’s lots of things they wouldn’t do in Europe. Then again, there’s lots of things they do in Europe we don’t do here. Tolerating ageing femonazis is just one of those we do, and Europeans don’t. That’s why she’s back here. Can’t get a real job in Europe. Actually, Europeans don’t even know her except for some poxy Uni which GAVE her a HONORARY PhD.
Memo to “Professor” Greer: it’s a fucking ad. It’s light entertainment at worst. Australian men know the difference between TV and real life. Speaking of life, go and get one.
