Australian tourism bad banned in UK
FFS, they've only used the words "bloody hell" 
Can't understand banning this when much worse language is used on TV everyday - if it's that bad, say it can only be shown after the watershed!

Edited to say - yes, it should say "ad", not "bad" in the title!

Nanny state gone mad. 
Great advert as well, I'll be showing my 6 year old when she gets home from school. She is fascinated by Oz.
Does that make me a bad parent?

Agreed, if i had my way i would put her across my knee and spank her until she said sorry then spank her some more for good measure!
Purely to teach her a lesson mind, not for my own gratification in any way

It's causing some amusement over here. Just reinforcing the Aussies' view of a too straight-laced UK.
Personally, as a Pom down under, I think it's a bit pathetic on the part of the Uk's advertising mafia. Ultimately, the ad will do its job. Probably more effectively for having been censored.

Bloody hell! That's a great ad and shows Oz at its best, I want to go back there right now away from this shocking british weather!!
I don't know what the fuss is about, Aussies use 'Bloody Hell' all the time, does this mean we are disrespecting Aussies by banning the advert?
On the news the other night they were showing people walking around naked in the Amazon, the Lacoste advert has the bloke walking around his apartment starkers showing his butt, why are these things not 'banned'
God damn this country!!
By the way, lets ban the word Black while were at it...
