Whoa, Max! Good stuff! She goe...she goes...she goes......she just goes! Kylie Mole come back, all is forgiven. We found the money on the mantelpiece!

Seriously though, this is the biggest myth. I've heard so many Australians go on and on about how great the programmes CC and Fast Forward are. Well, I guess it reflects the deplorable state of Australian television broadcasting more than anything else. The humour is shallow, derogatory and bigoted, .. just the shot for the majority of aussie viewers.

Well--I know nothing about Australian television, and even if I did I would not argue with your opinion of it. As far as I can tell, there is no way to interpret your parting "shot" other than that you are calling "the majority of aussie viewers" "shallow, derogatory and bigoted". You are entitled to your opinion, but I am compelled to say that the Australians I have met are quite wonderful! They seem to be, as a whole, exuberant, eager-to-live-life-to-its-fullest kind of people who have off-beat but super senses of humor!
I believe there is truth in the saying that what we hate in others is what we fear most in ourselves.

Now belli. If you hang around here for a little while you will see that your parting words were really out of place. You will note that we have folks from Oz here and they are, one and all, absolutely great. You should hesitate to brand an entire nation’s people based on any bad experience you may have had in the past. I am sure that you know some Germans who are shallow, crude or crass – does that make your entire population so? Does that make you so?

A view is when a person looks at the thread but does not post a reply. So for this thread people looked in 80 times but only 15 people posted a reply.

1. I'm a New Zealander. And there is a cultural difference.
2. All sketch-based humour is to some extent derogatory, plays on people's prejudices and is, given the medium, shallow.
3. I recommend you watch German television for some further shining examples.

Jackie surprised the hell outta me with: Kylie Mole come back...

SPEIGHT'S?! Where did you get that line from - another great self-parodying sketch, in one of Speight's Southern Man ads. Has AWAD's own Southern Man, CapK, been filling you in? I live in Tui country myself -it's the beer around here.
