There's Nothing Like Australia



1. It sounds like the theme from Mickey Mouse Club from my childhood
2. Koala's are NOT FUCKING BEARS!
3. Kangaroo's hang around in MOBS, not herds

And this is how we market ourselves to the world. In a badly editted, crappy sung little jingle. Ay ay ay...

** hangs head in shame **

How much of our tax dollars went into making THAT?!

*sigh* How embarrassing.

Oh, and did you catch the guy in a shirt walk up next to the koala-wielding women mumble quickly "That's not a bear." That was the best bit, only because I was looking out for it. ;)

I too, totally hear the Micky Mouse song.

I don't even want to know how much they spent. I bet with the amount they DID spend the average Australian could have done a better job. They did a spoof on Hey Hey last night which was much much better and they would have only had a day or two to make it.
Yeah, I caught the ranger saying that but it was too quiet... makes us looks as if we were so stupid we didn't know the basic facts about our national symbols. God, what next.... emu's are related to spider monkies?
I can hear a little of Up There, Kazalie and Advance Australia Fair but it's too mixed up. It's... too much... and really how many ppl outside of here would even KNOW the first one???
