BMW Z4 ad banned for bad behavior
This is an interesting story out of Australia.
It seems the BMW Expression of Joy ad campaign where the Z4 is seen painting a canvas using its tires has ruffled some feathers and has been banned in Australia. Why? Authorities felt it was promoting bad behavior Source: The Herald Sun -- http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sto...005961,00.html Quote:

Beware the Nanny State that Oz has become I note this every time I go 'home', more and more obtrusive regs; speed cameras; 'traps etc. And a 100 km/h limit - maintained over 30 years despite advances in roads and tech is absurd. The French even permit 130 km/h on the Autoroute.

How dumb is this? The cars are always doing shit in commercials that is not for normal driving. No one else seems to get their hand slapped--this is beyond stupid. I would think the Aussie gov't would have something better to do.....

It's called "Irony"
Have another herring and don't over-exert yourself. Give our love to the reindeer.
