Australians all let us rejoiceFor we are girt by sea.We’ve got lots and lots of water around usIt’s crazy, you gotta check it out…
So, yes, Australia Day. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate our ‘great southern land’, I just find it hard to really get behind a celebration which for the most part consists of our politicians rewarding sports stars with the Australian of the Year award (EDIT: W00t, for once it went to someone whose resume doesn’t consist of “throws ball well”) and yobbos wandering the streets, wearing flags and shouting at anyone who isn’t white.
I love the ideals that the media and propaganda machines tell us Australia stands for, I just wish we could see them in practice more often.
Failing that, I got you all an Australia Day gift, which you can collect here.
Havagoodun!
