UN Badmouth Ad Confronts Australian Prejudices

Aborigine speaks in UN Badmouth Ad

UN Day is celebrated on 24 October each year, the day that the United Nations came into existence in 1945, sixty years ago. In preparation for the day here’s a TV ad with a critique of racism and vilification.

An aboriginal talks about aborigines with contempt.

I referred to the Saatchi & Saatchi television commercial, “Bad Mouth”, back in April in a discussion of Australian church, popular culture and identity.

The spot is online at Saatchi & Saatchi. I’ve now sourced the video clip at Saatchi, 8 Commercials and Guillotine. Details are at Duncan’s TV Ad land.
