Now this story made me laugh, thanks JT.
I think I'm gonna grab several bags of these when I get the chance ... for omiyage.

Given that the words that the label is parodying is pretty much common language in Australia why would they even think of not allowing it.

Normal part of speech and not offensive? Hmmm...
It's offensive if you describe someone as "Fkn nuts".
It's also offensive if you tell someone to "Pass me the Fkn nuts!"
The only thing they must have judged not offensive is use of the single actual swear word "fkn", which we cannot even write here as it would be offensive to JT readers and the general public.

The people who rejected the application probably also want to change the name of the children's classic, Puss in Boots. Probably Ivanhoe too. And erase the word for female dog from the dictionary. And expunge all references to anyone "riding an ass".
Mostly these PC police are just, deep down inside, miserable people on a quest to find problems.

Heh I like the humourous names from OZ.
I have a can of OZ's "stop smoking you bastard" (anti-smoke engine additive) as a souvenir on my desk...

Well, it's world news, folks, so the name must be good. Free publicity, like Fcuk?

Yeah, but they sacked the Buck Foston's pub name in NYC. At least the Aussies have a sense of humor.

ofcourse all through the lack of freedom of speech....wish some people would learn to use the f*** word properly .....and I wouldnt be accused of being potentially offensive when I spell it correctly.....and is it the same people who are being offended that strangled theAustralians freedom of speech in the first place....
