Perhaps the British governement is worried that showing OZ's beautiful beaches and sunny weather on TV might encourage even more people to immigrate downunder, after all its mostly the skilled, educated people that immigrate not chavs.

In some areas, "ethnic" chavs, i.e. Greek chavs, Lebanese chavs, Turkish chavs etc. hang about in large gangs, & drive their cars like tossers with the music on full tilt.
Which brings us to the "hoon", the Australian car-based chav. Found all over Australia.
British chavs just look the same over in Oz, still wearing their favourite football team's top ALL THE TIME.

Americans do not recognised 'bloody' as a swear word- I use it all the time, and during my 3 months in the States, people commented that I never used profanities!!!

Re: 'Bloody' tourism ads banned in UK
Based on below message from you, me and my boys are going to fit right in.
I just bought a black AC/DC T shirt 'cos I luv their rock music and went to see an AC/DC tribute band last week..........can't see the audience that was there being anything like a chav to be honest......we are talking some of the meanest looking bikers you'll likely to meet this side of Route 66.
Me.....a chav ?..........a 40 year old, bespectacled, golf playing father of three financial accountant a chav ?..........don't think so 'cos I haven't got any bling of Burberry.
So.......my boys.....yep they ALL play football so want to support a team. Hence one Christmas past the wanted an arsenal shirt and Santa obliged 'cos that's what they need to wear when playing football.........not a thick cotton T shirt or such like..........a proper shirt......are they chavs too ?

The two subcultures share nothing in common except a love of fast cars - and in the case of bogans, this will mean a nice big 6- or 8-cylinder muscle car, not a tricked-up Vauxhall Corsa with a tacky aftermarket spoiler kit and a fat exhaust pipe extension.

It's just reinforcing the negative racial stereotype of the uncouth Aussie.
Don't get me wrong, I love colourful language myself, but there's a time & a place to use it.
