Immitaion is the most sincere form of flattery
It seems there is some comercial plagerism going on here in Australia but I don’t care. A budget campervan company has created a lot of controversy today with one of their campers. Wicked Campers has pulled some stunts before but I just love this one!

This is probably met as harmless fun and a cheap way of getting exposure but there are loonies out there that could take this the wrong way. I think they should be careful

Ya bit of a stuff up I agree. But really theres only one thing to take from it when a laid back nation like Australia sees things like this — Australians are upset about the whaling!
BIG TIME!
I do not understand why the Japanese cannot see this.
I mean the Japanese domestic beef industry has had almost 50 cases of madcow, if you want safe beef in Japan you buy Aussie beef, most chicken and pork is also being imported…. is it worth breaking huge amounts of food trade over a few dead whales?
As to the topic of your posting, I think this post here is actually more accurate

I mean why shouldn’t Australian loggers be able to log Japanese Cherry trees? If we are doing it for science, and I mean they are just trees.

Will be interesting to see if Anna does take action toward looking at the serious issue at hand which has been now brought to the attention through a Wicked Van…….WHALING.
High impact through Wicked Van, but politicly incorect.
