'Bloody' tourism ads banned in UK
BRITISH broadcasting authorities have banned the use of the latest advertisements promoting Australian tourism, which feature the slogan "Where the bloody hell are you?".

However the campaign will be officially launched in the UK on Monday, after the word "bloody" is removed.

Incidentally, there used to be a make of toy in the UK and the name was "Buddy L" strange, but absolutely true!

Is this from the same country that lets millions of people walk around with **** on their apparel??? 
Is this from the same land of the nursery school (in Oxfordshire) that re-wrote their nursery rhymes to change Baa Baa Black Sheep to Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep?
Soon I won't be allowed to say I put this down in black and white.
Drink, drive, bloody idiot! (excellent Victorian anti drink driving campaign message) How would that go?
