So one company was smart enough to leverage the coverage and others were not, now they are whinging? Sounds like simple business manoeuvring to me. Of course, the more gnashing of teeth, wailing and pulling of hair, the more free advertising to Maccas. Don't we have something else of substance to be concerned with - like the current LN price reductions?
It's akin to Aussies going to Kuta in Bali. Apart from the unhygienic conditions, it could be any resort in Australia.Quote:

Some are in one camp the rest in the other, but nothing that is being said will change the others viewpoint, so continuing this thread is a thorough waste of effort.
A bit like the old Friday drivel threads. They were deleted and so should this one or at least the sandpit should be closed.

Anyone see Hugh Jackman on the news… so lucky he didn’t kill himself or break heaps of bones
There's a lot of people that don't go for Oprah (I'm one), but there is an awful lot that do. She has an audience of 45 million in the USA, and her show goes out to 145 countries. So all up, she probably has an audience of something close to 100 million. A big percentage of her audience worships the ground she walks on, and she is standing in front of them and telling them they have to visit Autralia.
I personally think that $5 million is quite cheap for that sort of exposure, and tourism could get a big boost as a result.
To put it into context, the Lara Bingle campaign cost $180 million (if that number sticks in your throat then google it).
So many sad people, and that is for just one celeb :D:DQuote:

It is probably the same 6 million, or near enough, every day. And it represents <2% of the US population.
They quote that figure in the media and people believe it. We're like sheep. Sheep, I tell ya!
When I told American forumites she was over here consensus was to take her out on a field trip and lose her:2tsup:
:aro-u: Damn, we missed a great opportunity. :doh2: We would have been called Saviours of the Free World. :D (terrorism comes in all shapes and sizes)
What you mean they didn't already know she was here? I thought this story was going out to the whole world!!Quote:

(Anyone seen it mentioned in any foreign newspapers yet?)
This was all I could find. And it wasn't even about Oprah.Quote:
