Where the bloody hell are you? - "An Aussie tourism ad, banned in the UK." ![]()

Script :
"We've bought you a beer.
We've had the camels shampooed.
We've saved you a spot on the beach.
And we've got the sharks out of pool
We got the roos off the green.
And Bill's on his way down to open the front gate.
The taxi's waiting!
And dinner is about to be served.
We've turned on the lights!
And we've been rehearsing for over 40,000 years.
So where the bloody hell are you?"

Where the bloody hell are you ? - an article about the commercial
(statemaster.com)
So where the bloody hell are you ?
"The advertisements feature Australians preparing for visitors to their country.
It begins in an Outback pub with the barkeeper saying, "We've poured you a beer."
Further imagery to a similar effect is then shown, including a young boy on the beach saying,
"We've got the sharks out of the pool," and partygoers watching Sydney harbour fireworks saying,
"We've turned on the lights".
The commercial ends with bikini-clad model Lara Bingle at Fingal Spit stepping out of the ocean and asking,
"So where the bloody hell are you?"
