Travel Blog #24: Those Bloody Funny Poms
Crikey (let’s amp up the Ozzy on this one), may all the Poms chooks turn into Emu’s and kick their dunny’s down.
I was watching one of my favourite tv shows the other day – Little Britain. In my view, this is one of the best kaks going around on free to air tv at the moment and another classic example of great British comedy.
In last weeks episode, there was a new character (a very straight looking stuffy politician) talking about how he was caught in a position known as “a spit roast”. You really had to be there to appreciate the humour, but suffice to say that it is very naughty and quite risqué.
Contrast this with what has happened with Tourism Australia’s latest ad campaign titled “so where the bloody hell are you”. Firstly I think that the “you” needs to be changed with “ya”, but that being said, it’s not a bad campaign. But get this, The Age reports that that the British Broadcast Advertising Clearance Centre has banned the campaign because it is too blue.
Strewth, it’s enough to drive a bloke to a bloody spit roast.
