I See You've Played Knifey-Spoony Before

I don't recall how I found this link, or if someone sent it to me, but here we go: Now the bloody Yanks are offended, from the Sidney Morning Herald.

Basically, for those who've never heard of the issue: there's an Australian tourism campaign whose slogan is "Where the bloody hell are you?".  CBC won't air the commercials during early time slots due to the word "hell", Britain originally wouldn't let it be aired due to the word "bloody" (but the regulator in charge of these things has apparently since relented), and the ever-vigilante-and-complaining American Family Association?  Well, they don't like either word.  However, I posted this not because of that exactly (after all, when isn't the AFA upset over something?), but because of a quote from AFA director Randy Sharp; to wit:

"I guess they use it [bloody hell] all the time in Australia, but it's a foreign language here so I think it'll have a negative impact rather than positive."

Foreign language?  I was under the impression that (for the most part) Australians and Americans spoke the same lingua franca.  Perhaps Mr. Sharp meant "foreign expression"?  Unless, of course, those anti-immigration groups were right about the entire offering government services in Spanish being a slippery slope leading to the elimintation of the English language thing; damn, that was fast.
