Flotsam & Jetsam
12:47PM Jess McGuire | This is a brilliant commercial. Sure, it’s a little bit dated, but who cares? It totally makes me want to go to New Zealand. In fact, it appears to be demanding I travel to the land of the long white cloud. Because I own it, apparently. NEW ZEALAND IS MINE, I MUST GO THERE NOW! More »
Please Watch This New Zealand Tourism Commercial Immediately.

10:51AM Jess McGuire | Who knew that The Chaser were responsible for the Victorian bushfires?
The Westboro Baptist Church’s god is really quite a hateful chap, isn’t he? Glad he isn’t my vengeful deity.
In other news, after the recent Baz Luhrmann created advertising campaign for our great nation didn’t quite result in a rush of foreigners developing a hankering to travel Down Under to escape their shallow existences, Tourism Australia announced this morning that Fred Phelps will be spearheading their next advertising blitz after his latest YouTube rant generated huge interest in our homeland around the world.

11:01AM Jess McGuire | Every once in a while, Herald Sun columnist Andrew Bolt writes something I wholeheartedly agree with. And then I feel dirty and shower. I KID! I am an adult. I can acknowledge when someone whose political ideology differs from mine has written something I think is correct.
Anyway, I’m a bit behind on my Bolt column reading because I’ve been too busy acting aloof and shrouding myself in black and all the other activities people like me who live in the Ghetto Of Hate like to do to pass the time, but Friday saw Andrew reveal he finds Baz Luhrmann’s new ads for Tourism Australia to be rather tedious and pompous, and in all honesty… oh god… this, this is actually physically hard to type… I… think… Andrew… Bolt… is… right.
It’s no-spin name spells it out: Tourism Australia is meant to sell Australia to tourists. Lots of them. But now check Tourism Australia’s new Come Walkabout ads: it’s decided instead to sell spiritual therapy to urban salvation-seekers.
These two commercials, released this week and destined for screening in 22 countries, are invitations to a church, not a holiday. And to a very exclusive, family-unfriendly church, with not even the hint this time of Lara Bingle’s famous bouncing breasts.
