You see how well my marketing works

In Australia thongs is what we call for flip flops

I've seen this advertising campaign myself online, seems okay to me....makes Australia look amazing I thought, and the girl who says 'So where the bloody hell are you?' is pretty fine...to me its obviously playing in the Aussie stereotype, I know not all Aussies are like that...but as an advertising campaign for tourism, I think its actually fairly good!

Good advert, except the "Where the bloody hell are you?" doesn't quite fit.. if it were just "Where the hell are you?" it would fit. Or if they got a more cliche/stereotype Aussie to say it, it might be better

They want bloody in there because its a very highly used australian word, so they have sqeazed it in there.

TBH New Zealand is a hell of a lot nicer!!!

Also the people there are a lot nicer!!
Scenary is a lot nicer!!
And theres more 'extreme' things to do there!!
NZ for the win!! :-)

Besides Fraser, Noosa & byron i think i was rather dissappointed with Oz

But on the up side you dont get to meet to many drunken aussies idiots but a hell of a lot of sweedish, dutch and danish!! mmmmmmmm

Zefan · 24 Feb 2006 at 01:12

Extreme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought New Zealand was just a myth? Isn't that place near Australia called Middle Earth?

Insanity · 24 Feb 2006 at 01:12
