What's a bloody sense of humour?

The Tourism Australia's "Where the bloody hell are you campaign" seems to have been a success in at least generating some media interest, but it seems TA lack a bloody sense of humour.

Setting the lawyers onto a small media company for creating a spoof is a over-reaction of the first order. The fact I'm typing this only shows how counter productive that tactic was. I notice there are now slightly over 20,000 views the UTube clip as I write this, the Chaser send-up seems to be doing well too.

Somewhat less funny is the lawyer's attempting to use the IP angle to close it down. Exactly the same lame tactic used to close down Richard Neville's site. We're seeing this too often from the big end of town.

Speaking of big end of town lawyers, it's funny how Tourism Australia's homepage has a "please read disclaimer" note. There's no link there, but their Terms and Conditions are a commercial lawyer's wetdream. No doubt whoever wrote these T&C's earned enough for a nice month in Tuscany, more of our taxes at work.
