Wicked Campers told to clean up their slogans

Grrr! Wish this forum would auto-convert URLs.

How can they say the slogan "Save a whale harpoon a Jap" is racist. I see it being environmentally responsible.

Now, "Nuke a Nip" that is racist

The Minister for Political Correctness has struck again.

Sadly, Australia is losing its sense of humour.

People should just tuffen up, are these the same people that get offended by seeing NRNR on ute?

We think their vans are a hoot.
Wicked should stick to their guns and come up with some more slogans that poke fun at the critics- who need to get a life and a sense of humour.

A couple that come to mind are, 'I am not a gynecologist, but I'll have a look anyway', or 'Don't drink and drive, smoke dope and fly'.

Damn Political Correctness.

Living in Lakes we have heaps of these come through town. I always look forward to seeing them.

Best I've seen so far was "Men are from Mars, Women are from VISA!"

"The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, still needs mowing though..." runs a close second.

Hope they stick it out.

Out of curiousity - in what way are they deemed to be advertising?

Save a whale - Harpoon a Jap???

Do Wicked Campers even sell harpoons?

As far as the other two go, unless Wicked are providing the aforementioned female passengers for a fee I can't see that they constitute advertising either.

If I put one on a bumper sticker on my truck who has the right to tell me I can't? Why if it isn't advertising them is it any different?

As an adult, I find then often witty and mostly funny. But what I do have a problem with is that there is no censorship when young kids read them.
Now what would everyone say if the same messages were posted outside your kids school? Or on the TV in prime family time?

I start itching and scratching just at the thought of touching the steering wheel of one of their vans never mind sleeping in one!
