Default Australian accent thread 1001

I was concentrating on something before, with the tv playing in the background, and was shocked to hear an ad' on tv for "arse spray".

It was only when I looked up and saw the pictures that I realised it was a commercial for "eye spray".

I shouldn't be surprised I suppose... just hours earlier I'd been watching a program which introduced media personality Ida Buttrose ...

What kills me is the ad for the car with automatic parking. Apparently you just push the 'budden' and it parks itself....grrrrrrrr......

And don't forget "arse select" to help you choose your private health fund.

It's the ads with that fitness chick from biggest loser whose voice grates on me. The way she says "impodent" when she means "important" drives me mental!

Ghastly woman. It's the fact that there's three of her when she talks about the important people that made me chuckle. The husband asked what she'd done to her face but I think she's just rough. May have had work done, no idea. There's an ad running for a flooring place and the woman talks about 'echo flooring'. Apparently she means 'eco'.

Supernanny agrees - it's unasseptable:
