Don't worry, New Zealand got their revenge Colonel Logain Send a noteboard - 02/06/2010 01:22:54 PM
And no, I'm not talking about sports here.

A few weeks later, the theme for this segment, known as "The Pitch", was to convince tourists NOT to come to Australia, which resulted in, IMO, the best ad of the series.

Just a bit of background - at the time, the Australian tourism slogan was "Where the bloody hell are you?"

Imagine if Australia DID invade NZ though. Think of the rugby team!

EDIT: Forgot the link...

I have nothing to add. I just wanted to be included in this thread.
It's really dangerous here

8th? We would need a 7th first. - 02/06/2010 02:05:32 PM 685 Views
I blame Australians who already talk about NZ as the 8th state. *NM* - 02/06/2010 02:06:48 PM 322 Views
But which is the 7th then? *NM* - 02/06/2010 02:08:07 PM 329 Views
I have no idea. - 02/06/2010 02:12:23 PM 652 Views
Maybe the North Island is the 7th and the South Island is the 8th - 03/06/2010 12:56:44 AM 674 Views
Holland should invade Belgium, I want a day off too! *NM* - 02/06/2010 02:37:30 PM 278 Views
You have an easier way of getting extra days off, though. - 02/06/2010 02:59:08 PM 687 Views
It might be easier, but it's probably less satisfying. *NM* - 02/06/2010 03:02:25 PM 364 Views
That would have other advantages - 02/06/2010 03:10:40 PM 663 Views
I'm convinced *NM* - 02/06/2010 03:20:07 PM 287 Views
You would be. *NM* - 02/06/2010 11:38:02 PM 288 Views
You had me at "Let's invade New Zealand". The rest just helped justify the war fever. *NM* - 02/06/2010 07:56:14 PM 308 Views
Makes perfect sense. *NM* - 02/06/2010 11:38:54 PM 281 Views
You don't need an army, navy or air force. God defends your free land, New Zee-ea-land . *NM* - 02/06/2010 11:39:04 PM 309 Views
Damn straight. *NM* - 02/06/2010 11:39:50 PM 296 Views
I think it's Nieuw Zeeland. - 02/06/2010 11:42:32 PM 752 Views
