TOURISM AUSTRALIA: NO SENSE OF HUMOR

It's OK to joke about Australia. But whatever you do, don't try and joke about TA's latest campaign

TOURISM SPOOF NOT BLOODY FUNNY
http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/tourism-spoof-not-bloody-funny/2006/03/27...

A comedy writer has been forced to take down an online spoof of the controversial "where the bloody hell are you" TV ad after legal threats.

OPEN LETTER TO TOURISM AUSTRLIA
http://www.adnews.com.au/
I checked out the spoof ad at Downwind Media's website (you know the link), along with 35,000 others in the first 48 hours apparently, and had a laugh. Didn't think much of it though, just a bit of fun. But your reaction set me thinking. Is irreverence really such an Australian trait when you tourism blokes were so heavy-handed? Can you really be such a fun-loving bunch with a great sense of irony (not like those Americans, eh) when you can't even take a joke?

NEW VERSIONS OF "BLOODY" SPOOF ONLINE:
http://www.downwindmedia.com
Due to legal pressure from Tourism Australia, new versions of the "Where The Bloody Hell Are You?" Spoof are now avaliable from Downwind.Media's website. There are four new versions each has a variation of the musical score, one is a special remix by ARIA nominated producer Fatt Dex feat. the Crazy Bunyip.

HELENE: (swedish) - Hej! VERY good!! Enjoyed both the original and the spoof..! Not many nations would use that tagline but Australia does pull it off.. Brilliant! Please tell your friend!

TOURIST BOARD SLAMS FILMMAKER'S BLOODY CHEEK
(Daily Telegraph 26/03/06)
"The trouble is this spoof is that it's just not very funny" Tourism Australia managing director Scott Morrison said. "Through out the campaign we've maintained a healthy sense of humor"

More aussie comedy and legal issues:
Yes, my rascal friend down under has gotten in trouble again. This time, it's not the Muslims who are up in arms, but a company called Travel Australia.
Travel Australia claims that the music in the parody rips off the music in the original ad campaign. They're not actually alleging plagiarism, or maybe they sort of are, but essentially the claim seems to be, "The music from your parody of our ad campaign mocks our original music too effectively. Please cease and desist."

WHERE THE F******* HELL ARE YOU?

SYDNEY: It had to happen. Tourism Australia's successful spin on problems getting its "Bloody" ad through advertising gatekeepers overseas has helped spawn a spoof version.

Ah, the fine line between "look at those shit, bitchen, motherfucking cracker, whitetrash, white niggers, ---" and "Danger: Thoughtcrime!" is reestablished.
