Should Aussies Be Licensed and Forced To Wear Helmets?

Now this is hilarious!

Kangaroo, emu flavored chips spur controversy
Aussies up in arms over ‘Coat of Arms’ snack to celebrate country’s heritage

SYDNEY - Some Australians are up in arms over a new kangaroo and emu flavored chip, horrified that people are encouraged to eat the nation's coat of arms which depicts the iconic Australian animals.

Complaints to Australia's Advertising Standards Bureau said the "BBQ Coat of Arms" chips were degrading for native wildlife and sent the wrong message to Australian children, reported the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper.

"It implies that it is perfectly OK to kill kangaroos and emus just for fun!" said one complaint.

But the company manufacturing the chips rejected the charge, saying the kangaroo and emu flavored chips celebrated Australia's heritage.

The Advertising Standards Bureau investigated the complaints against the new chips but decided not to take any action.
Chall, TD or St. Anna, can one of you blokes score me a bag of the emus?

Its in the mail mate.

We have a great southern states 'do-gooder' mob. They have never bumped into an emu or an indigenous brother for that matter, but they get all up in arms [but not with a gun of coarse etc etc]. We just ignore them. Cook your coat of arms up mate.

I'll tell you how they harvest them. Firstly, they "cant fly, but I'm tellin you, they can run the pants off a kangaroo" and you know they have a small head; so you chase them in a 4WD and wait until its going at about 40mph. Then you shoot them in the big toe and they fall over and break their neck. Thats why an emu hunter is highly regarded for marksmanship.

Next you need a BFS [in this case a big freakin stew] and keep an armed guard to discourage the goannas. This all happens daily in every outer suburban home - encroaching on the outback . Emu salsa,mmmm.


PS, I think Chall is a centre left card carrying member of the 'do-gooders'.

Oh, its all a croc (pot thing, not lumpy lizard) of &^&%. Advertising to suck in the gullible [Speaking of such, have a look in the dictionary, you wont find the word gullible - its not there.]

Oh no, sneadey. Those laws are just for those southern 'do-gooders'. Us Qlders, NTers and WAites understand about wildlife, long-grass and such. Too hard to explain, sorry, you politically correct oppressed types dont understand.
Did you find a dictionary?

you throw hammers at'em? i dunno whatcher trying to say. the southerners in my country are more outdoorsey types. there are a lot of pu$$ies down here too, but we ignore them for the most part.........

what i miss most about the north is trapping. the climate in the south won't let our furry little friends aquire a decent pelt. don't really need a gun for trapping, unless yer out for bigger game. nothing like skinnin' a cute, playfull otter or muskrat. the pu$$ies have given that trade a bad name also. that's what's wrong with our country: too many pu$$ies. too many pu$$ies and political correctness. too many pu$$ies, political correctness and liberals.......

I dont know what dictionaries you folks down south use but its in the Oxford english editions. Top left page 626. Perhaps George Bush and his cronies in Oz removed the word before the Iraq war?
