Tourism staff in Australia have caused anger by deciding to censor a picture of a kangaroo posted on Facebook.

澳大利亚旅游官员将其官方脸谱主页上的袋鼠照片打了马赛克，这一举动使得网友十分愤怒。

Tourism Australia posted a picture of `Big Baz` on their Facebook page, but drew complaints after their picture pixelated the animal`s genitals.

澳大利亚旅游局将大袋鼠Big Baz的照片放到脸谱官网上，还在它的生殖器部位打上马赛克。很多人对这种做法感到不满。

Dozens of Facebook users were angry the photographed had been censored, despite Tourism Australia intending the picture to be a light-hearted joke.

虽然澳大利亚旅游局只想博大家轻松一笑，却没料到马赛克事件惹恼了脸谱上的多名网友。

The caption on their Facebook image read: `Enjoying a lazy afternoon at Featherdale Wildlife Park *Censored for Facebook.` The picture showed the kangaroo relaxing on the grass at Featherdale Wildlife Park.

脸谱官网主页的图片标题上写着：“欢迎来到翎羽谷野生动物公园，度过慵懒美好的午后时光*脸谱网审查。” 图片上是翎羽谷野生动物公园的一只大袋鼠躺在草地上休息的画面。

One Facebook fan, Martyn Hobbins, wrote: `How utterly pathetic. Censored for Facebook. You have just lost ALL my respect. I shall now remove the link to you, goodbye. Oh, and grow up.

脸谱网用户马丁·霍宾斯写道：“真可悲，这太让人瞧不起了，在我取消你的关注说再见前忠告一句：快别这么幼稚了。”

`I was brought up in my teens in Australia. You do not represent the Australia I knew and loved.`

“我小时候在澳大利亚长大，但你不是我熟知并深爱的那个国家。”

Another user, Natasha Duncan, added: `It`s ridiculous that the reproductive organs of an animal are blurred out. How many sickos out there think this is sexual. Society sickens me.`

另一网友娜塔莎·邓肯写道：“在动物的生殖器上打马赛克，还有比这更匪夷所思的吗？有多少人变态到会把它和性欲联系在一起。我被这个社会恶心到了。”

A Tourism Australia spokesperson said: `Anybody who`s familiar with our Facebook page knows we like to have bit of fun with our posts and when Featherdale Wildlife Park sent us this cracker of a photo we just couldn`t resist sharing it with our fans - in all of its magnificent glory. Or nearly all!`

澳大利亚旅游局发言人说：“熟悉我们脸谱主页的人都知道我们喜欢发点恶搞帖逗乐，当翎羽谷野生动物公园发来这张搞笑照片后，我们迫不及待地发在网上和所有粉丝共同分享欢乐。这可是太有意思了。”
