Australian border patrol only let Toyotas into their 'hard' country
Posted on Mon Sep 28 2009Take a look at a map of Australia. The first thing you'll notice is that it's an island—a really big one—and it's got no borders to speak of. So, that's your first clue that this Toyota ad featuring Australia's Border Patrol is a bit off. The second is the cheeky slogan: "Nothing soft gets in." By "soft," these Ozzies mean things like tofu, little poofy dogs and sweaters that are tied around the neck. And don't even think of coming into the country if you shave your chest. These border cops are pretty good at what they do, though. They can even spot someone who puts a Toyota grill on his truck to appear less soft. Says one cop: "This is a hard country, and we want to keep it that way." As Jacko would say: "Oy!"
