Racist ad mocking Asian man named ‘Ping Pong’ banned by advertising watchdog
The advertising watchdog has ordered a racist radio ad – which features an Asian man calling a concreting company for assistance because “Mama has bog in driveway” – off the air.
Kingaroy you say? Queensland is it? What a shock.
Yes Pepsi Monster , we’re all backwards up here in Queensland. Ironic you’re condemning an Asian stereotype by making a stereotype about Queenslanders.
Little Britain has a character called Ting Tong, with a fake Asian accent and who stereotypes Asians yet you don’t hear calls for it to be banned. Hypocrisy.
Well, you do… http://iaindale.com/posts/2014.....-questions
Ah well, that makes it ok then…
But remember, this is Australia and we can’t be seen to be offensive to anyone. Which reminds me of a joke I heard in the UK: What’s the difference b/t a kangaroo and an Aussie? – The intelligent look on the kangaroo’s face! Was I offended? Nah. What’s the difference b/t a camel and an Arab? Whoops. can’t answer that one lest I offend someone!
Jeff, jibes don’t hurt white Australian men because they haven’t faced discrimination. Water off a ducks back. You’re safe in the top spot long after the words have evaporated.
So if I were to say all Australians are asshat racists, put it in a commercial advertising a product, that would be ok?
Hello Mr Lou Avery, Mickey Rooney called and wants his gags back.
Mickey Rooney’s humour was from another century. Let’s all agree that racist/sexist tags are provocative and unhelpful AND importantly, unprofessional especially for a broadcaster to allow it to go to air.
Let us hear it.
Hi Mark,
Unfortunately as the ad has been pulled from the airwaves, we don’t have access to it at this time.
If we track it down, we will update the story accordingly.
Thanks,

I’m Asian. I’m not offended by any ad that mocks Asian ppl. We are living in the dumbest century in history of mankind. We are so stupid that we cannot differentiate between racism and plain humour.
