Australia doesn't fancy a Shag

Anyone else miss the silly beer names of the UK?
Australia wants to ban a British entrepreneur from naming a beer Shag.
Advertisements feature a bottle of the beer on the backseat of a car and the catchphrase: "Fancy a Shag?"
Mr Ball insists the beer is named after the bird of the same name but New South Wales government minister Grant McBride is not convinced.

Is to keep the lightning out..........."

My Tea Mug advertised the Beer - Dogs Bollox - gets a few dirty looks. The Shag beer getting a nasty reception makes me laugh, next they will get so PC they will ban Coon!
