| 402218 | 2005-11-06 02:44:00 | Aussie beer giant Fosters has upset viewers with their latest TV ad ( . snopes . com/photos/advertisements/bungee . asp" target="_blank">www . snopes . com) showing a crocodile biting the head off a bungee jumper . Family groups are in uproar over the 30 second clip — shot in the form of a home movie — which shows a man leap off a crane into a river . As he skims the top of the water, a croc lunges at him . The hand-held camera then pans in for a close up, showing the victim's headless corpse dangling lifelessly on the bungee rope . Laughing, the cameraman jokes "Crikey! that's got to hurt" before the ad finishes with the slogan "Don't lose your head" . Fosters said the ad was designed to promote a new system which gives drinkers a constant head on their pint . A spokesman said: "Our aim is to use Foster's 'No worries' Aussie-style humour . " We just saw this today in the US . . . maybe a little late . . but any comments? |
