We saw this ad featured last night on the news. Not sure if it was SBS or the ABC, but oh boy is it a classic. If this 'ute man' ad (I prefer to call it the Angry Bogan Ad) by the Independent Distillers of Australia is representative of the electorate of Gippsland (and well it might be, if this article in The Australian is anything to go by) then they're a bunch of bogan idiots and it's no surprise that they've consistently elected National Party members as their MPs. Regardless of how accurate it is, it's a terribly unflattering portrayal.
"Loik, farken oaf it makes me aaaaangry that me booze is gitten expensive! Oi'm gonna throw away me vote cos nuffink is more important than maken sure me grog stays cheap. Oi mean, sure, hospitals and me foive kids' educations are important to me and stuff, but they're gonna hafta wait so Oi can sind Kevin Rudd a message that Oi'm unhappy about the proice of me bourbon and coke. Gotta getcha proiorities roight, y'know."

Oh gawd...I'm coming home to Bris from three years in Indonesia next Jan - Indonesia's supposed to be a nest of terrorists and I'm supposed to be scared. Man, I'm more scared of bogans whose priority in life is booze and V8 Commodores or the Ford equivalent ripping down the streets. Tax the booze all you want Kev, and tax V8s and 4WDs off the roads too while you're at it.
i swear to god i thought this was a spoof... abc newsradio reckons question time is 'democracy in action'. no it isn't. democracy in action is the mob.
i still can't get over the implied threat of VIOLENCE over alcohol... it kind of proves the government's point. an axe-wielding, screaming thug, angry because of alcohol.
Yeah I saw it on Insiders. It fully looked like a pisstake. What a hilarious fucked in the head commercial. Ute - flannelette shirt.
How about Nelson railing against the aclopop tax. He's a doctor for fucks sake. He knows what alcohol can do.
I believe the correct term is "prorrities". Geez, Sarah!
Oh jesus. I'm lost for words.
Awww fuck, MB, not all of us finished hoighschool okay?!
Lol... hard to believe that anyone could look at this ad, with this superlative example of a bogan stereotype, and see themselves in it, let alone allow their vote to be influenced by it.
mikey capital
"How about Nelson railing against the aclopop tax. He's a doctor for fucks sake. He knows what alcohol can do."
i'm confident nelson would say anything to try and gather more support.
and if he was a practicing doctor, would you visit him?
Oh dear.
Speechless.
Sorry, mate. Din' mean to upset ya.
Maaaate, s'awroight.
Turns out that old mate is "local man Ben Barnes".
Anyhow, it ticks all the necessary boxes for all political ads: crap, crap and crap.
Kiki's right! Imagine Nelson rising up between your legs...
see...
Argh! Mikey! The horror!!!!!!
That could be you you lucky lady!
Earning a crust has forced me into Gippsland lately.
Thinking I might cycle the rural laneways and byways on the odd night after a hard day I entered the local cycle shop up East Gippy way to see if it was possible to hire or if I'd have to strap my treadly to the towbar rack and haul it up by car.
The bike shop mine host looked a bit intimidating at first with a series of your trad tatts down both arms, No 1 cut and goatee, I momentarily wondered if I'd wandered into the motor bike shop.
His advice. "yeah no mate we don't hire - no demand"
and
"well I wouldn't advise riding around here - it's a car culture mate and most of the fuckin idiots would run you off the road on purpose"
Gee, great advertisement for the place, FXH! So I suppose the Angry Bogan isn't too far off the mark...
