Well John, it is a TV ad which are by their nature stupid and offensive. If I had my choice I would not watch commercial TV, except for the "Gruen Transfer", unfortunately I have to suffer it for an hour or so per day for familial reasons. Erk. If you find the ad disturbing, why not write to AAMI and express your concerns and tell them that because of this ad, you would not consider giving them your business. You do not have to be a policy holder to complain.

As for people regarding birds as scary and aggressive (which I don't think this ad really portrays the swans as), well I think every bird is entitled to its day, given the way humans have treated them.

Cheers,

Carl Clifford

change providers and write to tell them why.

I have been watching the current ads by AAMI featuring Black Swans and rather gormless humans. Great bit of special effects and who would have
thought that you could train such birds.

What can one say, but "Garn the Swans".

Cheers,
