We don't get Fosters adds in Australia. No one here drinks the stuff.

sorry guy's can't agree..
i watched it several times during the g.p thinking i had missed something..
nope it's poor and a very tired old 'joke' ........
not worthy of a decent british advertising company/budget that's for sure
all the recent fosters ad's seem to be not quite in the top flight league -more advertising manager than advertising director grade...
still , i long ago gave up drinking fosters due to the chemicals they pump into it...
bad beer- bad headaches..
cheers

Well pardon us for enjoying ourselves.....!!
On the subject of ads, and I'm SURE its been mentioned before - anyone in Oz remember the "bugger" ad for the toyota ute, with the dog lying in the mud..... hadn't laughed so much in years !

I agree with you a great ad. When are they going to show a few more of those Castlemaine ads? They were fab.

First of all I thought the croc had really bitten his head. Then realised it was a mess about. :scared:

so with a little asking i found-
fosters for the uk is brewed in reading at the courage brewery just off the m4
the ad was the invention of M& C Saatchi in London
so basically it's nothing to do with australia/australians in any way shape or form.......j
just ad men playing on our guliability about all things australians perhaps...??
maybe pb has a point??

But its FUNNY!!
doesn't matter if its brewed in Worthing and marketed as Canadian (totally random examples there, not offence to anyone intended!). It still makes (some of) us laugh......
