aussieBum Pulls Soldier Promo Vid Amid Ricky Sinz and QC Reader Complaints
You may remember aussieBum’s Soldier line of underwear that we featured last week. You may also remember the accompanying promotional video: it showed an Australian soldier in Afghanistan taking a bullet. As the medics pull off his uniform, he flashes back to a memory of his granny telling him always to wear clean underwear. Back on the field, the female medics discover his sexy skivvies and compliment his style. aussieBum has a reputation for being cheeky—their past videos have featured male slaves being forced by women to strip in public—but some of our QCommenters thought the video tasteless and they weren’t alone.
Disgruntled porn star and war veteran Ricky Sinz also railed against the video in a post entitled “aussie bum bad taste i think so dont but their shit”. We’re assuming that Ricky meant “dont buy their shit”, but those Y and T keys are so darned close to one another. Anyway, let’s see what else the quick typing vet had to say:

i wonder how all the disabled veterans who were injured from around the world would react if they saw the commercial that i am going to post below.

i do support free speech and i understand the marketing aspects of them doing this but seriously

mother fuck aussie bum i will never wear any of their stuff while performing in photo shoots or anytime after seeing this and i encourage you to do the same….

Yeah Ricky, we won’t wear any aussieBum underwear during our photo shoots either. Of course, a good number of us don’t wear underwear to begin with, granny be damned, but we digress…

why dont you put out a commercial with an appoligy to all the soldiers that im sure are either offended or will be.

i know that not only america has quite a few but im sure your austrailian forces wont be too happy when they see this

Well, they didn’t make an apology video, by Lloyd Jones, Executive Assistant over at aussieBum did send us this e-mail:

As you would have noticed, we have removed the video for our new Soldier range.

Sean wants to apologise for any offense caused. We have withdrawn the video out of respect. As you also would have noticed, many were offended and we never intended this.

You know how much we love military men so we’re happy to see aussieBum respect people’s sensitivity over this. And even though the controversial video’s been pulled, you can still snag the very sexy Soldier briefs at aussieBum.
