With our government school system, I'm sure it only took a day or two of filming and another day of editing to put that together.

Glad to see the moderating staff has its sense of humor back when it comes to singling out particular groups for criticism. Nice wind-up Mary.

BTW, I spent several weeks in Australia a few years ago. I asked several Aussies I was working with to describe the beginnings of your country. I didn't find anyone who could.

In truth people of this type can be found in every country. This video just reinforces the American stereotype.

It is only meant in fun and hopefully no-one takes it too seriously.

I thought it was funny - those things are always funny. Jay Leno used to do some good ones, as well as other people on TV and Radio.

This clip comes from a show called the 'The Chaser's war on everything'. It makes no difference where or which country someone comes from or their political inclination. They all receive the same merciless treatment.

The Australian sense of humour can be a little off beat and dark at times. Hence this shows popularity.

Yeah that's him. Apparently he has a sense of humor like the rest of the people they told to recite silly lines. They got Vilsack, who also was a presidential candidate, to say a silly line too. "Congratulations Canada on switching to 24 hour clock."
