Pornographic Lions advert causes uproar Bearing the slogan "Rooting for the Wallabies," the explicit sign was criticised by public figures including Matthew Guy, the Victorian minister for planning, who promised to have the advert "ploughed in before the end of the day" today. He said the sign was placed on Parks Victoria land without any permission. "To welcome international visitors to Melbourne with that image is not good enough," he added. A spokesman for Sportsbet defended the advert, which aimed to increase betting sales ahead of the match this weekend, saying it would be viewed by more than a million people flying over the image in the next month. "What better way to get behind the Wallabies than to create a massive wallaby getting behind a lion?," Sportsbet's Haydn Lane told Australia's Channel Nine. The first test match between Australia's Wallabies and the British and Irish Lions takes place in Brisbane this Saturday. The second test will be in Melbourne next Saturday followed by the third test on July 6 in Sydney.
