We all know that America is the land of the crazies and the yobbos, not to mention the fatties and the uneducated.
Well, at least we thought we knew that. But with the recent revival of "me-tooism" it appears that Australia wants to take those crowns from the good old US of A and own them for itself. I keep finding evidence that we, the laconic people of the land Down Under, are fast becoming some of the stupidest people in the world. And the most awesome.
A case in point would be this article in the online Herald that caught my attention. For those that can't be bothered checking it out, it pretty much says that some guy from Newcastle (of course. You wouldn't see a Sydneysider being so uncouth) getting on his horse and riding around the streets of his neighbourhood.
Sure, that doesn't sound too bad does it.
But no, he was also swigging from a bottle of bourbon. Now that is awesome.
Of course, if this was America he would have been waving some lasso around and shooting off his little pistols whilst yelling "Yee-ha" and "darn-tootin" a lot (not to mention the flannel shirt, the cowboy boots, and the 40 gallon hat).
Seriously awesome!
Of course, in my mind I prefer to imagine it to be something similar to this amazing scene from the Governator's movie True Lies. If you don't know what I'm talking about, don't just watch that scene - go out and rent the freaking movie!!
It is one of the greatest movies of all time.
If you're into crap dialogue, unbelievable action sequences, and a plot so full of holes it looks like swiss cheese.
But it is still awesome and anyone that dares question me on that point will be summarily stoned.
So what does this have to do with Australia wanting to become fatter, stupider, crazier, and more yob-ish than America?
Probably none. I just wanted to say it.
