Hilarious Billboard!

[GreenTreeFrog]

Wish I had taken a pic but I didn't it.

At Sydney Airport, walking toward Immigration as we arrived, was a large billboard saying:


In Australia, there are over 2000 species of spider.

This is a funnel web.

If you see one, leg it.



Not sure how many tourists would understand the slang "leg it"!

I missed that one... but there is a big wall of sea creatures with "which is the deadliest australian sea creature" or something like that.

Do you think its the best way to welcome visitors?!! Perhaps instead of the quarantine video, we should show Australia's deadliest creatures, and scare people off that way! We could threaten that if they dont declare, beware.. we'll put you in a tank of funnel webs! .... or drop bears!

This video should be playing at the airport.... or better yet, on the plane!

If you've got time search out a dvd by Billy Connolly in which he talks about dangerous Australian Animals, such as the Stone Fish, Spiders, Snakes, Jelly Fish etc- Hilarious

Those two videos showcase the reason that Australias population will not reach 50 million.
