Tourism Australia: Brexit-weary Brits would love some sun this time of year! In fact they could get roasted

Throw some shrimp on that barbie, why don't ya?

Kylie M. was the most famous cog, but still just a cog, in the wheel of this particular Tourism Australia ad campaign.

That said, Ms. Minogue personally did inevitably catch some of the blowback from what some Australians felt was a poorly-timed and off-color, stereotyped ad campaign.

It’s worth noting, though, that tourism is a major sector of Australia’s economy that desperately needs help right now. And though this ad campaign may not have struck the right tone, it’s hard to overly criticize Tourism Australia for just trying to do its job.

For what it’s worth, Ms. Minogue and her family donated $500,000 to bushfire relief charities, and she’s also been spotted at bushfire relief galas.

A complicated subject and emotions in Australia are obviously running high right now — but I do feel a lot of this outrage would be more productively directed toward those truly responsible for the fires. From the alleged “arsonists” cited by NSW police all the way up to the global warming-denying Australian PM Scott Morrison and his counterparts on the world stage.

Wifey and I visited Australia for the first time this summer (their winter). Had a great time. Heartbreaking to think about the places I visited not so long ago in flames, and the people I met possibly not having homes or livelihoods anymore.

So this is, just a little bit, personal to me.

But there is only so much I can do from my position.

Memeing about it and raising awareness to whatever online following I have from half a world away is about all I can do right now.

At least until I stumble across a big pile of money to donate, or achieve levels of fame and success that would get me invited to galas.

You are a treasure.

"I'm saving Australia with muh memez"

Glad I left this attitude behind awhile ago

It was more fun to be an edgelord when I was younger and insecure and didn’t feel responsible for anything

Would it help if I acknowledged I know these memes aren’t going to change the world? I already pretty much said that.

But if you’ve seen the places I’ve seen and met the people I have, there’s no way you’re not gonna say at least something about what’s happened in Australia.

WAS?
Guy, your present day insecurities are only rivaled by your narcissistic delusions and your sock puppet life. It's amazing you can breath, the way you drown in it.

Not as edgy as half the edgelords here.

But yeah, I used to be an angsty youngster who dabbled in red-pill theory, thought things like affirmative action and welfare were awful injustices, and was comfortable laying the lion’s share of blame on blacks’ and other minorities’ “cultures” for the fact they were poor, etc. etc.

Then I grew up

If growing up entailed adhering newer labels to yourself.
Your 'thinking' is prefabricated, chosen from Box A or Box B, the actual substance being lost on you.
