Title: Australia
Post by: Fellfrosch on February 24, 2005, 04:49:17 PM: So there's a show on TV my kids watch called the Koala Brothers, done in claymation. It's about a group of koalas and wallabies and kangaroos and whatnot who live in trailers and shacks in a tiny town in the middle of the desert, and they're all happy and spend their time helping each other and talking in cute accents.

In other words, it's exactly like I picture the real Australia.

They had a "Western" movie, where they're out on a ranch, and consequently my son believes that Kookaburras and Kangaroos are natural animals to see out in the Old West.

And in another episode, they meet up with Steve Irwin the Crocodile Hunter. So naturally the line my 2-year-old picked up was, "Crikey!" He says it daily.

In plainer English: American TV hates EVERYONE. So you're not special when it hates you.

Damn, too late.
