FNet-- Australia needs your help
You all remember throwing a shrink on the barbie as a tourist slogan for Australia. Well, it is considered old and dated.
A more recent "Where the bloody hell are you?" campaign was not seen as very successful. Indeed, some countries (and translations) seemed to cause offense rather than excitement.
Having just lost the Ashes to England and the Bledisloe Cup to New Zealand, Australians are feeling rather fragile and need a big morale boost.
Here is fnetters chance to contribute to a new slogan and campaign to attract tourists to Australia. There is $20 million at stake. Let your creativity run free.

Where do you send the entry? Can the prize money be tax free?

"It ain't New Zealand" would probably get you further in the decision process.

How about "Cuter girls, less sheep!"
Granted the first part is debatable, but can only truly be settled with a beauty contest, with a swimsuit competition. It's a WIN WIN Situation!

I thought they were supposed to plump when you cook them.

Thank you Professor Bruce -- in charge of the sheep dip. Now for the prayer:
This is the wattle
The symbol of our land
You can stick it in a bottle
You can hold it in your hand
Amen.
