Accrington Web - View Single Post - Australians and their use of 'bad language'

I remember seeing this advert several times before it was banned. The Australian Tourism website were still showing it before I went to Oz and I still think it's a good advert. I can't say that I noticed a hell of a lot of foul language in normal conversation whilst I was there. Certain words are totally acceptable the 'w' word for instance, but in the manner in which it was spoken, it sounded perfectly normal and certainly no worse than anything you'd hear in town here..
