Brilliant and harmless advert, but being banned is the best thing to happen to it -- more PR mileage from that than the Poms (British) expected. Mind you, if only we could teach Fosters how to make a decent beer to sell to the world... Much, much better is a little Tasmanian brewery called 'Boags' -- if you get to see some, Bryan, avail yourself of a fine drop! THAT ad campaign sure must have exceeded everyone’s expectations.
