Being Australian's ourselves, we believe that this ad does not represent Australia nor us Australians very well (this kangaroo discussion proving our point) and infact degrades our reputation as Australians. The use of the word 'bloody' is not as much offending in social conversations, but totally inappropriate for international commercial uses. Australia is known for its large multicultural diversity , in fact we're celebrating that today in school =) The use of the slang 'bloody' is over exaggerated as part of the Australian culture. Speaking in general, we Australians do not use the word 'bloody' in our social conversations. However, we still consider ourselves very much a part of the Australian culture.

Yes I have worked at Ayers Rock and put Kangaroo on skewers for guests to buy but most real Aussies do not eat it... we only really eat it once or twice so we can tell the tourists what it tastes like. most of us don't like eating Kangaroos because they r on our coat of arms.... and are cool native animals. I am glad if you like the bloody ad people as the word bloody is only used in a cheeky sense and I think the ad shows the world some of the best aspects of Australia. I hope that you all choose to come to Australia for holiday as a result of the ad too. Hi ppl,

The only people excited by this are the stereotypes persistent on divorcing themselves from the anglo saxon past. Frankly, nobody else gives much a shit. Another parochial outburst!

Bloody is English word it comes from England besides any country that has 2 say Baa Baa Rainbow sheep definitely has issues. The ad is great it is fun, refreashing and showcases australia just the way it is.
