"Don't want to hear you say 'there's nothing you can do' cause while the world is dying it's relying on you. You've gotta do the right thing it's your obligation and the planet will thank you for your cooperation."
I wish I knew where to find it, but unfortunately for now it's just a song stuck in a memory.

ahh panel vans and drive-ins..

"HasaanFatal" - Shit eh? I thought it started post-9/11 2001. But it started before the Syd 2000 Olympics? Learn something new everyday.

@JohnoEAL Yes, it's because of terrorism. Bins started to disappear from stations in the lead up to the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney and they were never replaced.

Catchy commercial.

The fat guy in Chinatown looks like a sex tourist. Plus 'Do the ligh ting' is probably racist now....

@scrapps212 That sounds like an urban myth if ever I heard one.

Little girl at the end looks like the LJ Hooker commercial kid. Is it?

Yeah that was a looong running campaign. It'd never work now because public bins (trash cans for yanks) are vanishing here - has anyone else noticed this? At every train station & on streets in general, no more rubbish bins. Someone told me it's because they're potential terrorist targets (ie: someone could hide a bomb in one). Someone else said that it's because they're always vandalised - either way, they're not exactly encouraging us to "Do the right thing" any more!

lol... we really did throw our garbage on the ground in those days, we were pigs. I remember going along in the car at 100k's, finished the KFC or whatever, and it'd be out the window with the rubbish. The side of the road was choked with it. My god we were pigs back then... =D
