This Is Why Cousins Shouldn't Marry

This ad has no place on Canadian airwaves.

Why?

According to Australian tourism minister, Fran Bailey, the half-full glass of alcohol was "unacceptable".

Since bloody when? When has beer ever been a problem in Canada? When has the depiction of beer- or practically anything else- been a problem in Canada? This is from a country whose jingoism is dependant on god-awful Molson commericals.

The controversy over this ad (the problematic ad was barred in Great Britain for other reasons) has proved fortuitous for the tourism ministry whose website experienced an online traffic jam, maybe even a tourism windfall for Australia.

It's not like Canada can't use a windfall.
