After watching some television (Australian) I have seen a new commercial for Joyce Mayne (Aussie electronics chain)

It seems they are promoting a sale but in the add they are using the NG tank, I have no idea what the go is if it is illegal to do so in anyway or what but I thought I would bring this to your attention

After searching high and low for a sample of this add i cant find it, but if there are any other Australians that can support me by also confirming this

I would really HIGHLY recommend that someone from NG staff look into this if it has not been mentioned yet

As I said, I am unable to find a sample of this TV add anywhere online, wich is why I am asking for the support of any Australians that also have seen this add to confirm it, or even better link to a sample of the commercial

I can link you to there website, but there is no "NG tank" on the website

This is NOT a joke in anyway

I code in AS2, in case I forgot to mention it.

First off, what Australian television network aired this advertisement? Can you get into contact with them to send the advert?

Secondly, am I an idiot due to the fact that I am an Australian and have never heard of this chain? The only note of it on Wikipedia was that Harvey Norman, in which case this chain is owned by one of the largest retail companies on this continent.

Sorry for not specifying which network, it seems to be channel 7 I do live in Queensland so the add may not be shown in other states

It is currently 11:06pm on Saturday night here so I will make a phone call to them on Monday during business hours to get more information and possibly a link, so I will update then

it does sound a bit since I don't have any actual images of proof but I assure you it is the NG tank

Hopefully someone does have access or knows where to find some proof beacuse I cant find any online

SO? They're already swimming in cash. We don't have to solve it for them.
Let them find it out themselves.

We should get the ENTIRE NG BBS community to go to the court hearing if that happened. Wouldn't that be sweet?

This is serious. (Well, kinda) If you see that tank commercial like you seen before, name the channel, and what the commercial advertises. If you DO happen to see that it IS the ng tank, report the mods and remeber to give proof of your report.

That would be quite a big room.

Just a question on a point of law. How does it work when a company from one country sues another company in another country. Isn't it separate jurisdictions?

meh by the end of the hearing probably 1/2 of the BBS community would be either in jail, burning down the building, or dead

"Gentlemen, may we request a LARGE courtroom?"

Seriously, that would be cool, but at the same time, it would be annoying since the place would be crowded.

Besides, by judging the posts made here, people will think that Tom and Wade brought all the students from a random high school with them.

It would be cool if I could meet Tom and Wade in person if that were to happen, but again, the NG Headquarters isn't far away from where I live.

I have made a few calls around to try and get a copy of this tv add but since it is Sunday and most places are closed there is not much I can do.

I did manage to get a hold of the information I need to get a copy of this tv add, so hopefully tomorrow I will show you the stolen tank.

Yeah, I haven't been able to find any hard evidence of this to actually prove to people, which is why I'm calling the TV stations to get a copy of the commercial, that way I can show you and have evidence.
