Those bloody stupid bloody poms have gone and bloody censored us!
Tourism Australia's controversial "Where the bloody hell are you?" ad campaign has been banned from British television.
The Broadcast Advertising Clearance Centre has deemed the slogan too risque for television.
Risque? Didn't the UK Big Brother once let two teenagers have sex there for educational purposes?
Tourism Minister Fran Bailey labelled the ban "comical'', because the identical ad would still appear in cinema, in print and online in the UK.
"How anyone can take offence at a beautiful girl in a bikini on a sunny beach inviting them to visit `down under' is a mystery to me,'' she said.
I await the ad's triumphant showing in Saudi Arabia.
Bloody hell!

I think it's the bloody. 'Where the hell are ya?' Doesn't as coarse.
