    Good on you “Red White and Blue”, Blanch does speak German, and yes of course I forgot that America did ‘win’ the war for all of us poor sods, and by the looks of all the crappy ‘War’ movies released by the United States of AAAAAAmazing, you’d think they were the only ones there…

    Gotta love @Ian, my thoughts exaclty, I did hear though that the Jindalee Radar System needed an upgrade at one stage and the government balked at the cost until they found out the software upgrade almost doubled it’s range, still there is no proof that it can detect planes taking of in Moscow, but who would you believe.

    Good to see that USA with all of the money spent on their ‘War’ efforts and still having nothing close to this technology.

    What’s the capital of the USA??

    Well about now due to their economy about A$2.98. (the A in front of the $ is Aussie dollars for all you dumb seppos)

    “Uneducated Americans” is not a pleonasm.

    “Peaceful American” is!

    None of the people commenting on this are from Australia, I haven’t once seen the word “mate” let alone anything about “shrimp” or “barbies”. Also; that picture is real.

    Buried for inaccuracy.

    Lol@Chris. Only ones dumber than Americans huh? Maybe next time you try your very hardest (which, by the way, is not very good on a universal scale) not to seem stupid, you don’t put a capital letter after a comma. Fail.

    just because were australians dosent mean we say “mate” “shrimp” or “barbies” that is just a sterotype so before you americans say we sterotype you why dont you think before you speak next time

    how many people who have commented on this article have been to australia, or even the U.S. I am Australian and I employee two Americans in China. They aren’t your typical American who hasn’t been outside the states. It’s all marketing for those who haven’t. Anyway, it’s a small insight into the people’s perspective of China. Come and see, don’t judge without first hand experience. By the way my American friends and I are great friends.

    The next time you see a kangaroo, try and ride it. Make sure you give a mate a video a video camera first so that you can show all your other mates how you ended up in hospital.

    What’s really amusing is that the original wasn’t done by an Aussie, but an Americastani living in Australia. And behold, the cranky peoples.

    Well if you’re too slow in the outback you may get to ride on a roo bar.
    Also there’s some roo riding around in my stomach after I had some for dinner last night.

    Hello Aussies!
    We hope you come to visit America. We do love our Australian friends even the Blanchs :-) . Take in mind Americans will treat you kindly and with respect. Aussies, Brits, and Kiwis are our favorites. This blog is just silly can’t wait to visit Australia!

    Love to our English speaking brothers and sisters,

    John in the USA

    oh boy, this old argument again. im an american in australia. it’s a great place to live. sadly, out of any country i’ve lived in, aussies are the most rude to americans, yet THE MOST like us. despite peoples’ ignorant assumptions about me (i only eat kfc, i have 3 guns and voted for bush), i try to do my best as an ambassador of educated cultured americans.

    they also suffer from something called tall poppy syndrome…look it up. it’s bizarre how people in melbourne always complain about how crap sydney is, vice versa.

    oddly enough, according to every newspaper here in oz, they have overtaken the US in percentage of obesity. they don’t like to be reminded of that.

    in conclusion, most australians are unaware that their population is 2/3 the population of the STATE of california. so really, can you compare the two?

    i sympathize with australia much of the time though, because they get our US culture shoved down their throat (by their own media) on an hourly basis, while we don’t get anything but steve irwin, paul hogan, and that crap movie australia.

    the truth is most americans don’t even think of the existence of australia more than 4 times a year. argue it all you want, it’s sad but true. never realized it until i lived there.

    Well I support the conclusion that most Americans are stupid….. I think the reason this doesn’t happen is not because you can’t ride a kangaroo… its because most Aussies are too drunk to ride a Kangaroo!

    @Ian
    this is coing in extrememy late – but you do realise that the silicon chip was an australian invention? So that computer you have used to make the comment about australians contributing nothing, was done so while riding on the back of an australian invention. XD

    ..What. the fuck. okay, guess what americans? I live in Australia and I’d have to say that were nothing from what you say we are australia is just like america. all the teenagers even speak like closer to american accents than “G’day mate!” I’ll tell you about my life, i live in a house, i go to school, we have out populars, nerds, jocks, preps, etc. we have shops, i go shopping all the time, by bus or CARS. not fucking kangaroos and i go to parties, we get drunk, drugs, all that shit, hooking up with guys. and yeah. our accents are like. enlish mixed with american acents. no idea where you get fucking shrimps and baribies from. the only people who say that are the ones who live in the outback. but us city people? totally different. ;) we have good fashon sence by the way too, its like yours. kay? were not fucking arabs that ride camels everywhere in the deserts you idiots. and atleast australia doesnt have fucking fat people walking around everywhere just getting more stupid everyyyday. jeez. and speak all “Howdy yall!” and yeah i know thats only people in the outback of your country. just. like ours. so why dont you actually go to australia so you can see for yourselves. okay? :) byee xx

    @pete Happily, regarding your comment about populations, more isn’t better. Sadly, I’m sorry you were treated with such rudeness by us Aussies (I live in America and I get the reverse). I’m sure you own at least 4 or 5 guns mate.
