where the bloody hell are you? gets censored in the uk.

yes you heard right. the australian tourism commission spent mega bucks with an ad campaign with that slogan. it was bound to happen.

That's proper advertising! It's a wonder they can advertise anything these days for fear of upsetting somebody or other. It's not really a proper swear word!

that real Australia advert for Western Aust is a load of bollocks. it shows magnificent wilderness etc, but they fail to tell you that its right up north in the far corner of the state, hours and hours from Perth. Now who the hell is going to go up there?

Was it because the use of the word 'hell' was offensive to non-Christians?

don't know. its your country. i wonder what the yanks are going to make of it.

I'll sum it up the way millions already have... It's bloody stupid.

Pasrticularly since the word has been on British TV for ages - even in stuff like faulty towers. Don't get me started on Little Britain.

Perhaps you could spend less time critisizing the campaign and more time learning from it? Then you could stop being a filthy potty-mouth and start getting on in the world?

all we need to say the weather is great, go to the beach.

OUCH!

What's the weather like where you are Colin? (I've seen him Ronald, his skin has a blue tinge).

The weather where I am is quite extraordinary. Gale force winds, massive waves, freezing cold, heavy snow showers from time to time. The snow isn't sticking - the sea water washes it off.

And perhaps you could spend more time practising how to spell 'criticising' and maybe you could start getting on in the world.

Sorry, i forgot you were Australian.

Wasn't there some fuss recently where the Aussi PM was advised that it wouldn't be the right form for him to swear at visiting dignitaries? There was a mad scramble of Politicians trying to get on the telly to say bloody and bugger, wasn't there?
