Bad Marketing 101, Cannibalism: brought to you by Auatralia

The History Channel is running an interesting story about cannibalism. They made a glaring omission by leaving out the Donner party unfortunately.
But if I can try to get even a wry chuckle from the topic is that it is sponsored by the Australian tourist board.
At the latest commercial break a very serious person states : "We now return to cannibalism, brought to you by Australia". LOL!!!
Australia may want to reconsider their ad placement. "Welcome to cannibalism brought to you by the British Navy". Maybe it's just me but I'm still pissing my pantaloons

Gosh, my spelling can be atrocious at times, I meant Australia obviously. I am so embarrassed :(
It's pretty bad when you have to correct yourself

I would love to visit Australia and that entire region of the world.
It seems very beautiful and fascinating.
I merely thought that it worth a chuckle that anyone would sponsor a cannibalism documentary to attract someone to their land.
Sort of like: "Come to Burma; We'll cook you and eat your flesh."
But then again I suppose its just my bloody odd sense of humor :)

Hubby found something similar today, a line of specialty socks for bicycle riders called "De Feet". Not too encouraging that.
