Australians are stupid

I'm curious, how are us Aussies represented in the overseas popular media? What do you guys get? Any Bikie War? How about something a bit more fresh: Chk Chk Boom...chick?
"There were these two wogs fighting, and the fatter wog said to the skinnier wog 'oi bro, you slept with my cousin eh' and the other one said 'nah mate, I didn't for s***, eh' and the other one said 'I'm gonna call on my fully sick boys' and then they pulled out a gun and went Chk Chk BOOM".
I don't know what's worse, the fact that her 'account' was so politically incorrect or the fact that it ended up being fabricated anyway.
Though I do like how the media used to refer to her as the "Chk Chk Boom girl", but since it was revealed to be a lie it's changed to "Clare the bogan".
Thank you - you have pretty much summed up Australia (except for Melbourne). I live in the supposed capital city of Brisbane where the stupidity and backward-thinking defies belief. Most people can't spell, use punctuation, or even know what the capital of each of our states is. Even our journalists are succumbing to poor grammar. I constantly shake my head in disbelief at how moronic my fellow Aussies actually are. Considering that most Aussies actually pronounce the name of our country as Ostraya.
Please nuke us.
I hate it when they spell it "jail". What's the print atrocity that gets your goat the most NotAMoron?
edit: I still agree with the sentiment of this thread months on. We're all morons. Well tanned morons with good coffee though.
Yeah, "jail" irritates me, I see it far too often in print.
We're becoming defined as a country by a generation of "cashed up bogans" who suddenly have a lot of money but without the taste and general deportment that used to go hand-in-hand.
God I hate the poor...
I have to disagree with that assessment! The American colonies were formed primarily for religious freedom--the earliest colonists left for America to escape the constant tug-of-war between the Protestants and Catholics at the time in England. Once the colonies were established, many more groups headed there from other parts of Europe--there was a huge wave of Germans who became American colonists to escape the effects of the Thirty Years' War, which pretty much destroyed much of what is now modern Germany.
Australia as a British colony was founded first as a penal colony in New South Wales, though that changed rapidly as other parts of Australia were colonized by other British citizens a few decades afterward.
Exactly, we can't be all called stupid because on one ********. He should have been prosecuted what a ****
I work in London. The boss of one of the companies I work at, (which is one of the larger companies in the UK in this particular specialised area) is Ozzie.
He was all upset a few months ago cos a Brit set up a new company and went over to Oz, grabbing many of the govt contracts for this particular sector.
Boss said Oz jobs should go to Oz people not Brits, even though he himself came to Brit-land a few years ago and got a pretty good job here as a CEO.
Anyway he's all happy now cos Brit guy fell flat on his face a a few days ago and lost all his Oz contracts, and had to close down his Oz operations. (Shame about the Oz staff who got screwed over in this carpet-bagging crash)

If you can believe it, they're actually way more stupid than they sound. They have poor hygene too. Their girls have filthy hoo-haas. Australians chicks are actually incredibly cute with adorable accents, they love to hang out outside, sunbath, go to barbies, drink and party... and in the morning they wake up in a good mood.
Somewhere I heard that about Australian chicks. I think they sound like fun. I'd love to visit Down Under; my dad was born there, and when I was little my parents almost moved back.
Some beautiful sceneries down there too.
Well, Georgia was originally a penal (huhuh) colony, so does that make Australia the Georgia of the world?
What an understatement!
Spent two years in australia. Couldn't get out fast enough! Main reason - did not want my kids to grow up to be australian!
Do you know that they actually have classes in school, one hour per week for a whole term on "how to write a letter of complaint?" !!!!???? A reflection of the type of people they grow up to be - whining, whinging, with a false sense of equality, in a fascist, racist and xenophobic country of lazy and dumb alcoholics, waiting for the immigrants to pay their taxes so they can get the dhol from the government!
I have a map on my wall, where i have painted australia blue so it blends with the pacific and does not exist!

A class on formal letter writing? Proper opening, salutation, introduction, summarising the issue, expressing the issue and the consequences, suggesting and requesting the remedy, using proper grammatical English, using appropriate tenses, with a proper formal ending, and the overall letter coherent and well constructed, with a logical progression, and polite but assertive?
Excellent! Where do I sign my kids up for a class like that?
I'd like to complain about a year old thread being resurrected for no discernible reason.... Do I really need to write a letter?
Some great Australians live here in Canada. If they are any reflection of the people in general, I'd say this thread is way off base, eh?

Kindly go headbutt a bullet.
Seriously, you cannot just generalise like that, it is ridiculous. Yes some Australians are dumb, lazy alcoholics but that is definitely a minority. And racism? I think parts of America are much more racist than Australia.
Not sure whether it is consonance or counterpoint to the premise of this thread, but I think Julian Assange of Wikileaks and teenage-girls fame came from Oz (Townsville QLD and Magnetic Island). Whether that is good or bad may be a matter of opinion.
Assange is an Aussie. This is why all the calls for charges of treason against him in the US are utter nonsense. He's not a US citizen and cannot therefore be charged with treason. Espionage possibly but not treason.
Excuse me now, I have to drink beer on the beach which is right outside my house. God I wish I didn't have to go drink beer on a beach but it's the law.
As a Canadian, I think we Canucks and Aussies can agree that it's OK to make fun of the Yanks, eh?
Ouch. Just because it's winter here, you don't have to rub it in. Go have a cold one for me. It's your duty.
