Canadians Ban new Ozzy TV Advert because....

#1 Unread post by CentralOzzy »

FROM A FELLOW AUSSIE....

QUOTE: "There is a new aussie tourism advert that has just been released in countries around the world. shows all the usual aussie stuff and at the end a girl in a skimpy bikini strolls up the beach on a Whitsunday Island and says to the viewers "so, where're the bloody hell are you?" a popular bit of slang here in Oz.

Last week the British banned the advert because of the word "Bloody"
This week the Canadians banned it because of the word "Hell"
The big laugh here is trying to guess what the Americans will ban it for when it is released there.
Either way we are getting heaps of free airtime because of the 'controversy
Shame you did not get to see it before it was pulled from the tv.
ozzie" ....UN-QUOTE

BLOODY HELL! - Has anyone seen the AD yet!?

AL :laughing:

North American media has a very, very narrow view of what's 'acceptable'.

Mass murder, graphic violence, snortin' coke, beating your wife with a pipe, that's just fine. Show a tiit, or call it a tiit, and it's looked upon like eating babies.... which is fine to show... :roll:

That was a great ad. You hear language wa-a-a-y-y-y worse than that in school yards for crying out loud.

Somehow "Where the bleeding heck are you?" just wouldn't sound the same.
Our new PM probably got it censored. He is such a prude.

Maybe theyll just dub it... I wonder if you'll notice the Canadian accent in the middle of it?

Ive seen the commercial on TV. Maybe they skipped the last bloody part, but I dont even remember it.

The bloody hell part was a bit out of synch with the rest of the commercial. :laughing:
