It's hardly an appropriate attitude to be exposing children to, Australia already has a pretty horrendous attitude towards women. We don't need to worsen that for the sake of appealing to a few 'edgy' teenagers who want to smoke pot in the back of a clapped out camper.
Stick it to 'em JC

While I don't care either way on the campers campaign, it's a bit far to say Australia has a horrendous attitude to women. Yep I hear it said and written across all media, but I don't see it in reality (and disgraced sporting stars worshipped by media and the blind masses don't represent 'Australia').

I have a wife, mother and daughter, I don't hold any opinions on what men and women can or can't do, I tell my daughter she can be what she wants and dispel stereotypes that arise from school. I'd be the first to stick it to a bloke for displaying a 'horrendous attitude to women' as you put it, but I haven't had an opportunity.

We do have a horrendous attitude to balanced and responsible media publications, but that's a minority controlling what we discuss on 'social' media.

I hope all is good with you Muppet, regarding any exposure to horrendous attitudes, I hope you haven't had a bad experience, maybe I'm wrong, but 'overall' excluding the alcohol affected communities and marginalized cultural enclaves that ignore Australian laws and values, Australia as a whole isn't horrendous. All societies will have their non-conformers.

We all need to have our values challenged occasionally.
If Kids understand what the slogans mean then perhaps that little bit of their innocence is already gone.

I thought they had been put out of business, far to many unroadworthy vehicle's. We used to see heaps here in Darwin but I haven't seen 1 for ages.


Personally I think all the sports bet rubbish that's on just about every channel and every free to air sports broadcast is far worse than anything I have read on a wicked van. Different thread for that perhaps.


Cheers Ean

I take no more notice of them than I do my youngest grand kid when he's throwing one.
cheers,

i see

that work for me too?

A very welcome post JC. I am another who finds offensive things offensive. I would like to see the caravan parks and camping grounds ban this company's vehicles, their customer base would soon disappear if they find they can't get a campsite or park the thing where they want to go. I certainly prefer not to share space with mobile billboards that are intentionally offensive.

How about a movement to paint these things over in a drab, boring colour whenever they are parked.
