ok i'd like to post a disclaimer to the world on behalf of all australians...
Contrary to what the world has just seen this is a ver disturbing, distorted image of australia (well sydney anyway) a fwe examples... try to keep in mind i speak for a majority, like all countries there are many who dont fit them ould, i'm one of them....
1. Contrary to the image the tap dancers portrayed, we dont get around in flannel shirts and tracksuits, only builders wear that gear.
2. The fish scene is also wrong, except for the green condom looking thing, our waters aren't clean (well here in sydney anyway) and dont have fish floating in them, except for dead ones
3. WE DONT SAY "G'DAY" !!!!!!!!
4. we DO throw shrimp onto BBQ's
5. we have SHIT beer
6. our prime minister is a dickhead
7. we didn't actually let chealsea clinton into the country, but she killed the customs guys with her face
8. same for bill gates
aside from that, australia is peachy and welcomes all international mone... guests
enjoy the olympics
if it's alcoholics ANONYMOUS, why do they always stand up and tell u their name ??? <img src=http://geocities.com/r337m0nk3y/cwm/killtard.gif>

That sounds a lot like canada.
Except for the shit beer.
You Aussies do seem to have everything under control, so kudos to you.

I would like to add to that.
1.Since I'm underage, I don't know whether our beer tastes like shit but our wines are the best in the world.
2. Yes, we hardly ever say "G,day" (except maybe the people in the rural areas. "Cough" Westies "Cough.) /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
3. I hated how the Opening Ceremony's showed bush life back in the 1800s. Now everyone just has the cliche of what Australia was like jammed even harder in their minds.
4. That girl Nikki webster. As soon as she came out on the OC on TV, I started cringing. And cringing. And more cringing. Seriously, I thoguht she was 5 years old until I heard her sing! Even then I thought it was a voice over. Then I read in the paper that she was 13.
BUT there are some good points about the Olympics. They are set in Sydney, the weather has been superb, everyone seems to love Sydney and there haven't been very many stuff ups esp in Public Transport.
My opinion of Australia and Sydney has not been changed one bit by the Olympics. I personally still think that Sydney's the best city in the world, and Australia's the best country there is.
Some people may dispute that, fine but MY opnion will never be changed. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

anyway, right on OICW !!!! best country, best city ! i agree with every point !
i'd just like to make a few translations for our australiana impaired
"westies", also known as rednecks or hicks
"nikki webster" - most hated girl in australia, the one who was "flying" around in the OC
also, i'm curious how many people outside Oz heard about the incident with the prison escapees hijacking the korean's six seater van,
the reason i ask is that the press are doing a typical blowing out of proportion and the koreans are saying that this is making news around the world anyone heard about it ????

Overtly Serious Chappy.
Yes, I too am glad the games are in SYDNEY!!!
I hate all the media propoganda trying to make it seem like all those people who just want to go see the games or something are "revelling in patriotism". The word patriot makes me sick, conjuring up images of fanaticism and Nazi's.
I hate the way we treat anything other than a gold medal as a 'loss'. Even if someone got silver, they're still treated as a failure, as if being the second fastest swimmer in the frickin' world is something to be ashamed off.
I hate all the hype.
I hate the fact that off all the people chosen to be the central focus of the opening ceremony, it was a blond blue-eyed white person.
I hate the way we're putting on the stereo-typical mask of the "Australian" that the rest of the world (US especially) believes.
