Hmmmm, not being clear again, that'll teach me.

You need to watch the video from around 1 min 40 secs ;-)  They're shown on a 
field, some dancing, some standing around. The field looks like southern or 
Eastern Europe.

I just watched the video twice and couldnt hear any reference to Common Crane 
made.?
There was another bit of misinformation though when the voice over woman 
refered to "the rest of creation".

Oh Alan,

Surely you must know that the prime rule of tabloid journalism is never let the 
facts get in the way of a good story.

Cheers,

Well according to The Age newspaper anyway!

At around 1 min 40 into this (+ 30 seconds with the offensive ad);-) we find 
Australia has a new bird and apparently (they're) breeding.

Let's all nip out and make the Common Crane welcome to Australia. Thanks to The 
Age newspaper and Fairfax Media for finding them. Maybe we can all send Fairfax 
and the journo a note to thank them;-)

Best

PS Why do journalists / newspapers publish inaccuracies? Oh I know, it must be 
to get extra publicity - well that's all I can think of; not sure they're this 
stupid really ;-)
