  I love the "Wow! Sunset and barbeques. Can't get that in Australia." That IS Australia.

  People are avoiding the U. S. because it isn't safe to visit.  Being reminded it also has biker gangs doesn't help.

  The Host is a comedian, and the panel are from advertising companies

  The ad looks like run-of-the-mill AI slop. The agency were probably mates of Trumps, given a no bid contract, got an AI to knock it up in 10 minutes, and pocketed $19.90m.

  Gruen used to be called Gruen Transfer, which is the name of that phenomenon when you walk into a store to buy, say, &nbsp;three items and come out with five or six. &nbsp;It&apos;s a very entertaining show. The panelists all work in marketing (not the host..he&apos;s a comedian). &nbsp;They also have a segment where they ask two competing advertising agencies to make a commercial on a set topic or item, sometimes for something you&apos;d think very undesirable! Always entertaining and a good insight on how advertising works on us. ( I don&apos;t think USA companies would like that!)

  I saw this ad for the first time a few days ago and was seriously underwhelmed. &nbsp;Everything they showed we&apos;ve got here in Australia and dare I say, is better. &nbsp;Made me glad I live here.

  They left out the bit in the ad about ICE agents checking your phone at the airport to ensure you haven&apos;t said anything unkind about their orange toddler king.

  I’m Swedish and have several distant cousins in different states in the US. I’ve been to the US three times and visited 9 states. Last visit was in 2007.<br>In 2016 I decided to never ever visit the US again because of Trump and gun violence. My cousins know this and understand it. Except one, he’s one of those fake Christian MAGAts with 14 guns in his basement. He’s been excluded from the cousin network.
