    Has anyone else seen the new ad for Australian tourism? Its tag line at the end on UK terrestrial TV is a (very sexy) girl saying "so where the hell are you?". I assumed this was the ad as intended but then while watching Discovery I noticed she says "so where bloody the hell are you?" and I wondered what that was about. It seems the UK regulator has banned the use of the word "bloody" and the aussies had to make two endings!

    Here's the proper ad and here's what the BBC say about it!

    I thinks it's crazy but ho-hum, it's allowed on UK satellite! Weird. Isn't she a cutie at the end but!

    It means Jeebus' blood. Also, the original one sounds like incorrect syntax to me unless it's some Australian peculiarity.

    No, just a typo from the OP, it's actually: "So where the bloody hell are you?". I like it!
