    Default "where the bloody hell are ya?"

    anyone see the ACA article on the TV advert being banned in England due to the use of the word "bloody"

    any thoughts?
    I reckon it should be able to be viewed - personally.

    she says bloody? im too pre-occupied looking her up and down to hear what she says

    On a serious note i dont find it offensive and dont see why it is, a reviewed version has been made for the UK skipping the word "bloody". What good is an advert for tourism in Australia if it gets banned in other countries.
    Some people say less talk more action, i say more torque less traction.

    They are saying the banning should work in our favour.. it's just going to get more attention now! Will still be played with "bloody" on the radio.

    haven't seen the ad, don't really care about it. If memory serves, the ad was banned in UK, even though the tv show fawlty towers is from uk, and basil fawlty says bloody all the time. they're just whinging coz it wasn't a brit sayin it. and before any of you say I'm slaggin of brit's, I'm a half breed

    Its the old guard who are in charge of censorship who are the ones causing a fuss, much like the over here when it comes to film and television ratings. wankers... Funny thing is that its created more interest that the the Australian Tourism Board could have hoped for. Controversy has a habit of doing that!

    I'm glad the poms banned it. They are setting an example to other countries to show what is acceptable.

    Whoever the moron was who thought it was a great idea, well......
