Jet ski campaign sparks racism row - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
lol tell your cousins in the dozens.... Pure gold
LMFAO, I love how it is a lebanese comedian that helped and it is being called racism. Seriously, some ethnics in this country need to harden up...I guess when you come from a shithole that shoots those who mock learning to take the piss is impossible. In which case why do we import these people?
Piss taking is part of what makes Australia brilliant.

Some people are just so precious aren't they.
Although the comment about not spending the money well for this campaign may be wrong. Look at all this free press PWC safety is getting because of a minority getting upset at a comedian.
I aim to misbehave.
i thought it was a good campaign. It shows we are a multi-cultural country. Hardly racist if you ask me.
Autobahn have been using the fat pizza crew for a while now without any racist calls......
Funny thing is, there is no mention of Lebanese or any race or creed, so in theory the people that took offense are the ones playing up a racial
stereotype.....
Only one thing can be said about this:
F###############################################K OFF! (Sorry about swear filter bypass)
But seriously, anyone can take offense at anything. There is a way to make anything and everything offensive. These people who find stuff like this offensive need to get a Mc####ing life.
Like really, if they are upset about that, I find this racist because it's not a white guy on teh jetski and I find it offensive because I think his face is a train wreck and should be covered in public.
PC these days it jsut a way of creating jobs to address issues that don't exist, which in turn creates more jobs to deal with the forementioned issues and the cycle goes on of jobs and issues that don't actually exist.
It reminds me of a story one of our animators was telling me. He was contracted to draw a character for a childrens book.
He drew a little boy character and the client said they didn't like that because it might upset or alienate parents with a girl, so he made the character a girl and the client said that also didn't work because it would cause the opposite side to be offended or whatever.
So the conclusion was that the most PC character was a hermaphrodite.
That was PC at it's best. Trying to make everything unoffensive to everyone.
Bro thats a fvcken massive LOL. If that guy told me to tuk it eazy in my VL Calais turbo I would listen.
I'm German and I'm not offended by hogans heroes etc... or maybe I should be?
Everyones crying racism nowadays.

im sorry but if your going to start your own organization for a specific race's advancement in a foreign country you deserve to get the p*ss taken out of youThe United Australian Lebanese Movement
btw multiculturalism will never work because people who imigrate to another country want the country to change to suit them. it only works if its the other way round.
this is an outrageous, they can't be for serious
Just another example of the government trying to be clever but failing miserably![]()
I tried really hard, but I cant see it as racist sorry. I think its funny, designed for a very specific market who (should) find it funny and take in the safety messages also in the add. Dunno, marketting is always a tricky beast to tame
