ANZ now has great air fares to take you back to Aotearoa! I flew them last December on their newer Boeings and it was quite nice. And I love being offered a sparkling wine with brekkie!

YouTube - Americans are NOT stupid - WITH SUBTITLES
Haha! That video is great! I think they did this exact same thing on certain Canadian show... "Talking to Americans"? What's with the subtitles on this clip though?? Can people not understand the accent?

Good stuff though! Here's a good one that's sort of relevent too...


YouTube - Isn't she probably pretty?

King George II.


I think the subtitles are abit of a reverse joke? As sometimes American shows put Subtitles up when interviewing Australians.
