[SMH | Text-only index]     Heard the one about Dick's ad ban?
Date: January 24 2013  Megan Levy  DICK SMITH is furious that a
television advertisement he filmed for Australia Day, which is
saturated with ''Dick'' jokes and innuendo, has been deemed too
offensive to air during prime-time television.  The entrepreneur
is planning legal action after his one-minute advertisement,
which is styled on Sam Kekovich's lamb ads and promotes Mr
Smith's range of Australian-made food products, was given a PG
classification and is therefore unsuitable to screen during 6pm
news bulletins on Australia Day.  The tongue-in-cheek
advertisement, created by Hungry Beast and Can of Worms comedian
Dan Ilic, opens with Mr Smith declaring that Kekovich's use of
jingoistic patriotism to sell his products was as ''wrong as a
dead dingo's donger''.  But, with Waltzing Matilda playing in
the background, Mr Smith then goes on to do exactly that,
throwing in his fair share of ''Dick'' jokes along the way.  An
