YouTube Clip Of The Day II

Alright, today’s second clip is more of a mystery than anything containing belly laughs. It’s shaky footage we were sent of a billboard being driven around London, an announcement about moving to Australia being blared over a loudspeaker (no doubt confusing the locals). Interestingly, the billboard says ‘Australia. Uninhabited.’

I thought the powers that be had decided the nation’s slogan was ‘Where The Bloody Hell Are You?’ which, although sort of aggressive and proving to be unsuccessful as far as tourism campaigns go, is at least a question based on the truth – there are people in Australia, and you’re not one of them, so get your arse over here.We may not have your population, Britain, but we are here, we’re queer (well, some of us – and this fact is celebrated every year in Sydney during a little festival of pink and glitter we call Mardi Gras!), and this country is most certainly not uninhabited.

What the hell is the story behind this outright lie being told to our dentally dodgy chip-butty eating cousins across the sea?

    This is clearly an evil plot by the soap dodgers to give their Olympic athletes some better training facilities … oh, thats right … bugger !

    I’m confused and clueless. Someone’s built a billboard to give away land? WT?

    Could Richmond Shire Council be behind this? Seems kinda weird that they’d be giving away land to Poms, but stranger things have happened.

    After all, you’d have to pay me to live “five hours west of” … wait for it … Townsville!
