Australia Day Promotion Goes Wrong

Outback Steakhouse takes their disrespect of Australia to new heights in their 2015 Australia Day promotion.

It's no secret that Outback Steakhouse is not authentic Australian food - no Australian has any clue what the hell a Blooming Onion is. Still, Outback Steakhouse continues to appropriate Australian culture in order to make a buck.

This year their Australia Day promotion backfired. Needless to say, Australians are pissed and letting Outback Steakhouse hear about it on social media.

Outback Steakhouse released the following promotional ad for Australia Day but there's 2 major problems with it....

The map shape omits Tasmania but worse than that, the flag is the British Flag.

Apparently a puddle is smarter than the entire Marketing team at Outback Steakhouse

Trudi on Facebook - good on ya, mate

THREE CHEERS FOR THIS PUDDLE!!

Rumors are swirling that they're deleting tweets that reference the screw up. All while acting like they've done nothing wrong.

To all my fellow Aussies in America.... I'm wishing you a very happy Australia Day (and I was sure to include Tassie in the map)

Tasmanians, we love you guys. We might give you a hard time but we'll stand by you when some drongo tries to knock you off the map because having your map of Tassie is most important!

For reference, this is the Australian flag

And this is how the flag map combo is done

Maybe they'll use the British flag for July 4th too. Seems only fair.
