Aussies Getting It Right Again?

It is the latest road safety campaign and there is not a mangled body in sight. Australian safety campaigners have decided to hit boy racers where they are vulnerable.

The television campaign, designed to encourage drivers to respect speed limits, features young women wiggling their little fingers at passing speeders.

The gesture represents a small penis in youth culture, but in the advertisements even an elderly woman uses the signal. So do other young men who are not in the driver’s seat.

 

The campaign will include advertising on television and in cinemas, and on posters at bus stops. There is also a 15-second internet advertisement that will offer speeders an “xtra-xtra small” condom. The A$2 million (£850,000) campaign has been prompted by widespread public concern in Sydney over a series of multiple road fatalities involving young, inexperienced male drivers who were still on their restricted, provisional driving licences.

The young drivers, known in Australia as “P-platers”, will have additional restrictions placed on their driving licences from next month, including a ban on using even a hands-free mobile phone in their cars and a ban on them carrying young passengers at night.

Sounds about right to me - I always thought that Boy racers, of whatever age, drove fast/flashy cars as a penis extension! The flashier car, the smaller the dick and the bigger the dickhead!

What a great, great idea. I haven't got a clue what they were saying, as I have no sound here at work, but it looks like a great idea.
