And for a moment there i thought i had woken up in the 1970's. Tourism Australia has launched its latest failure, ahem, sorry, campaign to bring visitors to Australia. And what an effort.
Yes, its corny. Very corny. And it does emphasise all those things that many of us cringe about. But what do i know. Its probably so unclever and simple that it might just work.
But for the money they have spent on this campaign, it would want to work. It only cost a few million dollars to write a simple tune and hire a few actors. Chicken feed really when you consider all the other money that gets wasted.
There's Nothing Like Australia Advert
About Just Grumpy
Im not a right wing nut job, far from it. I just believe that the world doesnt owe you a living, you make your own luck (was that Kevin Rudd?) and if you work hard you can succeed.
Thats not to say that we shouldnt help those who cant help themselves. I have a firm belief in giving a helping hand up to those who genuinely need it. (please give generously to my linked charities)
I call myself a realist and i want to tell it like it is. Somebody has to speak the truth. Because seriously, what a selfish bunch of insular tools we have become in today's dreamy Australia.
Maybe we arent so different to the rest of the world. And maybe it was always this way.
Anyway, until things change, i remain young and grumpy.
