"Australia sucks" (thinks kangaroo)
Re: "Australia sucks" (thinks kangaroo)
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.
...
1= Melbourne
1= Vancouver
1= Vienna
4 Perth
5 Geneva
6= Adelaide
6= Brisbane
6= Copenhagen
6= Montreal
6= Oslo
6= Sydney
6= Zurich
13= Helsinki
13= Stockholm
13= Toronto

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)
Re : "Australia sucks" (thinks kangaroo)
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.

Interesting list. Looks like Canada and Australia are the places to be. But we already knew that.

Maybe that is because it's a lot like Germany with more old buildings since it wasn't bombed as much.:shrug:

Australia doesn't suck at cricket. Or maybe England does. Badly.
