Yeah that was a bit fail. Pretty much every place is like that

What's funny though is that the remix / spew version has had more media coverage than the launch of the actual "monkees" QLD tourism ad.

It does make a point, maybe it's just not very funny when you actually live here :/

I thought it was pretty funny. And yeah, it does prove a point. Sure, everyplace is like that, but it still proves a point that there are enough yobbos out there to warrant some concern. It highlights our undeniable heavy drinking culture.

Half of the video showed gridlock traffic and corrupt politicians like nuttal... and you think the only thing it was highlighting was drinking culture?

If you watched the original tourist ad, it's not quite the QLD you may be familiar with. I've seen marketing for Surfers Paradise that shows it as this beautiful place where everyone is all smiles - the parody in that case should be feral sluts everywhere, bogans starting fights, people getting hassled by the cops, s*** bag hotel staff that can't get anything right, and paying $30 to park at the shops. That's the holiday you're in for.
When you come here, you're absolutely at the mercy of our police, traffic, grogged up tards, and Anna Bligh.

I must have gone to a different Surfer's Paradise than you, for the past 27 years.

What. the. f***.

When it comes to QLD, it sounds like a lot of you people are doing it wrong.

BTW, that vid was so s***. The cutting was so quick I could only just make out the faces in the pictures, and didn't have a hope of reading more than one or two words of the headings.

Just because you're 'doing it right' doesn't mean that someone who comes here on holiday will be able to avoid all that s***. It's just reality, I'm not saying QLD is the worst place, but it's a lot closer to the tourist's home city than they might think.

I agree completely with billy.


As a side note, thermite you're always on the 'retarded' side of arguments.

And what side are you on? You haven't said s*** other than you stand by your man.

Oh I see you're from the gold coast. Bad luck! Why don't you go off and do some laps of surfers in your car, pose a bit, and pick a fight.

You could pick any city in the f***ing world and make a video exactly like that. The whole concept is retarded. Almost as retarded as you bashing the gold coast simply because you're from brisbane. whoopty f***ing do.

so thermite is your point that tourism advertising should also have to show some possible downsides to the location?

and can you explain how anna bligh is going to have an effect on visitors to qld?

I agree that the gold coast is a hole.
