We sell ourselves to those overseas as larrikins, open minded and tolerant ... but are Aussie really just a bunch of prudes?

Maybe its the English in us?

The story had me in stitches and didn't offend me in the slightest. I know 'family groups' is a euphemism for fundamentalist christians but was just wondering what the mainstream of Australia thinks of this?

Are you offended, or did it give you a chuckle?
 

I'd be offended...1/2 hour only????? Maybe thats the British in me!!
 

Because the menfolk of these family groups might be jealous someones getting in for free..
 
it amused me

the girlfriend wasnt as impressed however. but not 'outraged'
 
I think its funny, Although i'm surprised the National Poker League would allow this sort of prize lol.
 
What happens if the winner is female? "Open minded" female poker players need only apply?
 
Its fine to scapegoat brit or US influence...but the day may have arrived where the rest of the world says, "only in Australia".

Not offended...ashamed.

why should one be ashamed? to me it shows what was mentioned at the start of the thread, how aussies are traditionally larikans and different to the rest of the world

Being a larikan, or having larikans in society and awarding the winner of a poker tournament a voucher to be used in a brothel...I don't see the connection.
