Rugby betting ad ‘totally inappropriate’ – especially if you are a Brit or Irish From au.sports.yahoo.com – A daring advertisement promoting the Wallabies and British Irish Lions rugby series has copped fierce backlash.
The Victorian Government has condemned the sportsbet.com.au advertisement, which shows a kangaroo hugging a lion from behind and features the strapline ‘Rooting for the Wallabies’, as totally inappropriate. The sign, painted on a field under Melbourne’s international flight path, is visible to passengers on arriving and departing flights.
