Fruit Juice Campaign/Advertisement Full Of Lies About Oz Still Wreaking Havoc In The UK

10:43AM Jess McGuire | You know what? At this point, it’s like “Okay, we get it. We don’t get it, but we get it. Let us drink the juice and soothe our frazzled minds.” Yes, another video has been sent in to us showing a billboard being driven past a London landmark – this time, it’s Albert Hall – with a loud speaker instructing folk to move to “uninhabited Australia”. Definitely a fruit juice of some description. And then I went to the website, and drank their fruit juice. (slurps loudly) I DRANK IT UP! Which means I signed up to the newsletter. God, I am so easily played. Still, eventually answers to this mystery must come… right? DEAR GOD, RIGHT? (Maybe it’s something to do with the census? And they’ve left the work experience kid in charge?) More »

As you can see, the folks behind this have taken their message to popular tourist destination Tower Bridge. WHAT IS GOING ON, PLEASE? More »

The “Australia Uninhabited” Mystery Deepens

9:14AM Jess McGuire | Obviously we were not the only ones still wondering just what the hell that mysterious YouTube Clip Of The Day from last week was all about. Defamer Australia reader Matty commented on the post, saying “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!” and then gave us a link to this story. A council is capitalising on Australia’s urban property squeeze, offering blocks of land for just $1. Richmond Shire Council, in northwest Queensland, has put up seven 600 sq m blocks of land for an October 6 land grab. The town is about five hours west of Townsville and has a population of about 700. Council chief executive officer Michelle Clarke said it was hoped the move would benefit the town by addressing a local skills shortage. “We’ve decided that we want to help people out for $1 in the hope that in return they will build a home and move to Richmond and maybe offer some skills in the town,” she said. “Right”, I thought to myself, dusting off my virtual hands, “I suppose that’s that. Mystery solved! Let’s go and drink milkshakes and nibble cupcakes and listen to the Teen Queens!” Shut up. It’s my life. My idiotic hobbies and interests are not to be judged by the likes of you. But waaaaaaaait a second, turns out the mystery has NOT solved. Because then someone sent us another video from London! And I think it confirms that Richmond Shire Council are not behind this at all.
