Aussies call for Branson arrest over Ashes stunt

Virgin Media had an image of Richard Branson beamed onto the Sydney Harbour Bridge this week, winding up Australian cricket captain Ricky Ponting ahead of the Ashes series by saying:
"Good luck Ricky - you'll need it. Dicky x"
Some humourless Aussies are not keen on the stunt, and have called for Branson's arrest for supposedly desecrating one of their landmarks.

Branson published a qualified apology on Twitter:
"I'm sorry if I've ruffled a few Aussie feathers with my message... maybe the truth hurt! C'mon England"
Maybe he should have just told them to rack off?
