"Australia sucks" (thinks kangaroo)

[Fragony]

Or, where the evolutiontheory started, it reverses. But I think it just sucks personally.

Pappy and his brethren will have a lot to answer for....driving innocent 'roos to commit suicide.:no: :shame:






:beam: Sorry, couldn't resist!

[Blodrast]

I guess the Aussies are a step ahead of the rest of the world - so far I'd only heard of whales committing suicide by stranding themselves, but you guys might be on to something - it must be getting really bad down under if the land mammals are also killing themselves by marching into the ocean... :laugh4:

[Hosakawa Tito]

Dancing with Great Whites?

[Husar]

I think kangaroos are quite good swimmers, don't really see any suicide here.:inquisitive:

It might just go deep-sea-fishing.:juggle2:

[Lorenzo_H]

He must think its a lake and hes trying to find the part of it which is fresh water to drink...

[KrooK]

Maybe it is emigrating to Indonesia :)

[Csargo]

He's just going for a little swim guys. Calm down

[Mooks]

Maybe it is emigrating to Indonesia :)

I agree. Australia must be sucking pretty bad nowadays.

[Yun Dog]

He heard that Aussies with too much facial hair are being extradited to spend their lives in Gitmo without trial - so hes swimming to Naru where Australian law doesnt apply and we keep all the other refugees.

I wonder how long a thread with the title USA SUCKS wouldve been allowed to exist???? :thumbsdown:

[Papewaio]

So they wildlife get to swim at nicer beaches then 90% of humanity.

[JimBob]

He's leading his people across the seas to America, where Kangaroos will bask in the prairies of the Midwest.

Country bashing is ok if Kangaroos do it :yes:

It's a JOKE!!!

REALLY!!!

and here I was thinking it was an attack on the perceived identity of my nation based on scant circumstantial evidence of marsupial emigration/suicide

as much as I see the joke - I am simply highlighting that in the past when equally as farcical threads directed at other nations - have not been met with as satyrical responses.

now thats funny

You have a point here.

Australia sucks???

since when?

some of the best cities in the world are in Australia -

quote -:
Melbourne has retained its position as the best city in the world to call home.
...
Melbourne topped a survey of 130 cities, narrowly beating out the other four Australian capitals surveyed - because its weather rated the best.
...
The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) survey ranked Melbourne, Vancouver and Vienna as the best cities for expatriates to live, with Perth fourth and Adelaide, Brisbane and Sydney equal sixth.

That's some prime BS right there. Melbourne has horrible weather. Horrible, rain, rain and guess what rain. The Gold Coast, now there's some sun.

(Melbourne is just jealous of Sydney, I mean who else can get away with putting a coat-hanger icon on the bridge ~;p)

[Louis VI the Fat]

Yes I raised some eyebrows at that thread title too. (For those coming late to this thread, it started out simply as 'Australia sucks').

My first thought upon opening this thread was that Fragony had somehow now developed a dislike for non-European animals, or had joined a 'Mammals First! Marsupials out!' organisation or something.

Only halfway through this thread did the meaning finally dawn on me: Australia must suck really bad for this depairing noble creature to helplessly swim to his doom...

Once I got it I thought it was a good joke. Lacking a bit in execution, but quite funny nonetheless.

The original title wasn't mean-spirited or derogatory, but it didn't work. People were bound to take offense. The current title is much better. But where the original title was unclear about it being a joke, the current one now reveals the punchline too soon. Maybe that thread title should read something like this:

'Australia can't suck this much, can it...?

When phrased like this, it's still a fine little provocation, it makes people curious, and the joke unfolds much better - it now retains its punchline in the form of pictures of an emigrating kangaroo.

Vienna on #1?
I can't even remember how it was there, like just another city.
Maybe that is because it's a lot like Germany with more old buildings since it wasn't bombed as much.:shrug:

Be fair. If that beach had humanity using it, it wouldn't be near as nice. And you know it. :clown:

[Papewaio]

So Australia, Canada, Switzerland and the Nordic countries tend to have the best cities to live in... all relatively socialistic democracies... or is it that for a lot of them Blonds really do have more fun? :laugh4:

[Fragony]

All these countries only have a few cities. Don't ask me why that has something to do with it, just a hunch.

Australia doesnt have just a FEW cties, they have lots of cities. It is just the fact there arent a lot of people in those cities, or there is no one at all!

Longer than this one. There aren't any American moderators in the Backroom.

Well, we've had dog-fishing and monkey-fishing. Both well-documented and argued thoroughly argued here in the backroom. How long before we have roo-fishing?

Actually there are - seems you have been off for a while ~:)

not so much anymore, Melbourne is getting far less rainfall these days, we're on quite severe water restrictions at the moment...

Melbourne is better than Sydney because people in Melbourne are generally more friendly than people from Sydney...
