Playing for the dreaded and hated Yanks... Duh dun dunnnnn..........
I didn't see that one as funny but see where it were trying to be so. It isn't the tele add though that were the point, it was more the fact that something that was the Cans taking a shot at the Yanks.....again....and again.... were what my observation were about. The add itself were just silly and sort of lame but then, I don't know many of them that aren't.
Allot of my mates were up in a piss about the whole "I will put another prawn on the barby adds of years back. I thought they were funny. Of course, if you were to say that to one of the Burleigh gold coast boys he would have handed you your jaw in sections but I would still have laughed at them.
So, again, not having a piss at you specifically as I like what you write, I were making the observation that until I head Pierre and saw them adds, I truly had little idea that the north americans had a thing against the americans. The Yanks and the Habs are, like us, (the aussies and the kiwi) viewed as the same no matter how each of believe and try to make the rest believe about our totally different ways. Oh, and don't get me started about the riff between Maori and Kiwi or Tazzies and Kiwi and Aussies and Maoris and the rest. It gets downright fuedal!
