Wicked Campers cockA series of ads by a camper van hire company – including one urging customers to “snog an aboriginal” have fallen foul of Australia’s Advertising Standards Board.   

The three most recent Wicked Campers ads to be censured by the ASB are:

A brochure that included the words:

“Other reasons: Waking up at the beach having uninterrupted sex every morning, all night parties, loads of room for goon bags, get pissed on by a koala, box a kangaroo, kill your dinner with a boomerang, eat roadkill, free fuel (siphon hose not included), massages with happy endings, free camping at Wolf Creek, romantic alfresco dining, deep and meaningful conversations, snog an aboriginal, score a speeding ticket you never have to pay….plus you can get shit-faced all the time while never missing a sunset!”
