The British restriction [1] on the Australian tourism ad "Where the bloody hell are you?" which was not allowed to run in its original form because of the use of "bloody" has been reversed [2]. The Australian Tourism Minister, Fran Bailey, flew to London in the hopes of saving the campaign.
"I am pleased that common sense prevailed and the regulators realised the campaign was intended to be cheeky, friendly and very Australian," Bailey told reporters.
I doubt the Australians are that upset though since the TV ban provided a ton of free publicity for Tourism Australia [3], which said it had created "an on-line traffic jam" around the A$180 million campaign.
