Cocks, Wankers & Knobs. Only in Adelaide! ⋆ Natatree

Sorry about the swearing. I don’t normally swear on the blog, but I felt it kind of fitting. Oh, and no, that’s not what I think of Adelaide, or Adelaidians, I really do love it here. However, I did want to make a post about this SA Motor Accident Commission.

In the months since Adam & I split, he got his licence, so while i’ve been here, we’ve gone on a few drives. One of them took us down the highway to the Barossa Valley. While driving along, looking at the scenery, this sign pops up. I remember thinking “Don’t drive like a chicken? No wait, that’s a rooster! Don’t drive like a cock!” Oh my!

We spotted 2 more billboards on our drive, and I have to admit, Adam had to decode the ‘KNOB’, my head thought it looked more like a ‘red button’.

MAC are not shy to some pretty full on campaigns, I found they always tended to be very blunt, graphic, brutally honest and somewhat scary.

I’m not easily offended, and I guess these ads don’t offend me, but I have to say they certainly surprised me. They are targeted to a young adult audience and I think in that way, they are well made. They have received complaints, but as they aren’t outright saying anything, and it will go over childrens heads, they have been allowed.
