Not sure I would call it 'internationally' owned, it is owned entirely by CBA banking corporation in Australia.
Interestingly Sovereign Assurance is owned by ASB, the largest insurer in NZ apparently.
It is all BS really though, the profits all go elsewhere.
Still good ads though.

I love the Goldstein ads! I remember when the first one came out and didn't say which bank it was. Amazing that he has lasted like 6 years or something!

Being Jewish, he will have had it removed when he was seven days old.

That's a very small slingshot.

Gotta disagree peeps. I think Goldstien & Co are well past their "sell by" date.

Like the Yamaha Grizzly ad' though.

Ummm we're all foreigners in this country.

I wasn't taking any notice of the ad but was under the impression it was an early T100. I'll have to take notice next time although it might be a while, I only watch the News and Boston Legal.

The ads still rate very well and strike a chord with most people - possibly the only 'series' I like better than Toyotas Barry crump series.

Ads can be seen here

Looks like a plunger goldstar but given the interchangable nature of pre unit BSA bits - could be anything - VERY cool idea though! Worlds fastest idiot...

hehehe... its fear of doing that that keeps me from bowling. lmao.

i like this goldstein ad... but some of them get a bit boring. the grizzley ad rocks though... funny as hell.
