This crass drivel might pass for typical low grade PR on an ordinary day, but this is about Anzac Day, and this effort to cash in on it by the Singapore Airlines controlled token low cost entry in the Australian market is offensive and illegal.
Can't see the problem. Saturdays front page picture in the Sun Herald shows two splendidly attired football "heroes" with the background of the Shrine of Remembrance and the caption "Our Pride" Equating footballers with the Anzacs is peurile. With maybe 75 percent of the "marchers" at Anzac Day parades being relatives, kids dressed up playing at tin soldiers and other hangers on, the march is not what it was a quarter of a century ago.
