I can only applaud the good Aussies at Bundaberg Rum. They produced this advertisement, showing a crocodile meeting an untimely demise.
PETA's Australian chapter apparently moaned about the ad, claiming it showed cruelty to and indifference toward animals. Bundaberg immediately fired back with this sequel.
Gotta love it!
EDITED TO ADD: Thanks to Tim D. in Comments, we learn that (with tongue firmly in cheek) Bundaberg Rum has now apologized for their apology!
So much for political correctness . . .
Peter
You missed the apology apology

Love it :-) I'll buy a bottle next trip just because of that ad!
ReplyDeleteYes, execellent commercial that no one could get away with in AMerica.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting that!
ReplyDeleteIt helped make my day.
Huzzah!
That's the way we should handle nearly ALL political correctness. Make fun of them until their heads explode.
ReplyDeleteI can understand not calling someone something insulting, but all these hyphenated American titles are just another way to keep the friction alive. Speak plainly, and if someone can't handle it, then they shouldn't talk to you.
Rum is my hard liquor of choice, but I've never had, or seen, that brand.
ReplyDeleteI will be looking for it now!! Any company with a level of political correctness that low deserves my respect and support!
Oh my yes, I'll be out for a bottle of that now.

Keep in mind that their basic one if pretty rough, but I've heard some of the more expensive ones are quite good.
ReplyDeleteWe actually have a bottle of the good stuff in our liquor cabinet, thanks to an Australian friend who lives near their distillery.
ReplyDeleteGuess I know what I'm having for an evening cocktail.
I do not even drink. However, I am starting now, with Bundaberg Rum.
ReplyDeleteGo show, mates.

I'm a Yank who wants to purchase this stuff because of their advertising. How can I do that? I'm in California. Does the bottle come in a crocodile case?
