That is actually flattering in a way, although I have not the faintest idea how or why we would change Australia.
Ironic that most of the movie took place in New York City. Most Aussies take their interest in America from Star Trek. You lot think we all command spaceships and have pointed ears.
nope.
Us Aussies think americans are people who don't know anything outside of the borders of USA mainland. It's the truth. go up to random americans in USA with a map of the world and ask them to point to Australia, USA, Canada, Germany, UK, Sri Lanka. I would be suprised if 7/10 americans you asked got more then 3 correct
no disrespect intended but thats how we aussises view americans
Hey! i am an 'Olive' and I love Oil (Olive oil i.e. play on words).

I am Dark brown hair, dark brown eyes with very olive skin (takes me ages to burn in the sun... and tanning takes ages...).

Yep.
Australia is full of bogans. They cannot even find Tasmania on the map. "Who cares long as I gets me ma lager!" I would be surprised if 8/10 Australians could manage it.
No disrepect intended but that is the reality of your land. However, I will gladly admit the other 20% are some of the coolest folks on the planet.
Australia violence-high to very high censor, USA violence-very low censor.
Really? How did such an awesome but super-violent movie like The Road Warrior get made in such a high censor country? I think I remember years ago seeing another movie that was super-violent and I believe it was Australian. Can't recall the name now but it had Russell Crowe (he was really young) and he was in some crazy gang. It seemed really violent.

Romper Stomper
Years ago, We didn't take ourselves quite so seriously! Having A certain amount of Violence and bad language in our media, Was quite acceptable. However, We're increasingly Being carried away by the PC brigade, Who is often calling for stronger censorship in Australia

Wow! that's pretty harsh, but unfortunately true. However, I can assure you that I'm one American that could get them ALL correct.
