bloody yanks.....

chevypower · 09-02-2007, 12:44 AM

it's sad but true, we Australians get way too worried about what Americans think of us, its so embarrassing. It's even evident on these forums. Particularly in the Pontiac G8 threads at the moment.

XR8-260 · 09-02-2007, 01:02 AM

I didn't take it seriously at all. I actually enjoyed it, it was a good laugh. Apparantly there's a massive 'vegemite' cyber-war going on right now

yeh no.
personaly the day i care what the Americans think of us is probably the day before they bomb our ***.
other than trying to save our lives.
unfortunatly aus is becoming more like America. more people are being sued for no good reason. more people are becoming stuck up. more people are getting dumber by the minute.
the main reason i dont want to live in a city like melb or sydney or any major city.

There are a few half assed rebuttles, id like to see a better effort on the Aussie side.

Whos up for a genuine challenge to rebut ?

MrFlibbles · 09-02-2007, 09:03 AM

i agree with him, i just like to kick back and laugh at the rest of the world! (espescially them yanks!)
And I am an aussie and dont get vegemite... I think its pure evil distilled into a spread.

The Monty · 09-02-2007, 09:05 AM

That was really funny. Personally I dont give a rats proverbial about what they think of us, but that was damn funny.

snortycorty · 09-02-2007, 09:11 AM

I thought it was quite funny too, as The Monty said I couldn't give a rats patooty either what they think of us! Cheers to vee-gee-mite (whos says it like that anyways!?)

holmsy · 09-02-2007, 09:35 AM

yeah but it is the same people that thing it is G....day
going back a few years i told some guy in America that i ride a kangaroo to school and he beleived me. that was a ****a.

and i never used to like vegemite but in time i got used to it. i still couldent put it on my finger and eat a chunk. i just put it on toast and tis good.

MON10A · 09-02-2007, 10:21 AM

if they dont like it maybe we could buy it back from them.

GXL078 · 09-02-2007, 10:30 AM

Well considering KRAFT, who make Vegemite is an AMERICAN OWNED company, it seems its OK for the yanks to profit from the stuff

AC · 09-02-2007, 11:39 AM

You wont get many more complaints about Vegemite from them now.
Being that they have had it banned from sale in the USA. Its got EVIL Folate in it.

Evil folate? I think that's what my wife has been taking that for the past year to stop our baby getting spina bifida.

Yeah, cuz you Geelong dwellers are so much smarter than we Melbournites.. What a stupid comment..

Hardtopxb · 09-02-2007, 12:55 PM

As I said before.It's deadly stuff, VegiMite.You could blow up a an American city with just a small jar of it.. LOL Ban it from the USA I say.. I love it, even though it's owened by an American co..

davonafairlane · 09-02-2007, 01:04 PM

I have to say I cant believe its causing so much contorvesy. Who gives a ***** what yanks think. Honestly myself I dont like it, but most aussies seem to. Who cares if they ban it, they love war explain that?

holmsy · 09-02-2007, 01:04 PM

i didnt say anything about being smart.
and i know there are alot of normal people jus like everywhere. but main big cities seem to accumulate dickheads that are so far up them self its not funny.

im not saying everyone in those cities are tools there is just more of the tools living there.

sgt_doofey · 09-02-2007, 01:21 PM

We don't need to make fools of other countries (especially America), they do a good enough job themselves!

Lol, speaking of americansation... it seems more and more of us are failing to investigate the facts in preference to accept at face value that which the media tells us.

I wont deny anyone the joy of looking it up for themselves by posting a link.

Completely off topic...

A 4 ounce jar of the stuff goes for $4.80 USD over there!!!

AU2PWR · 09-02-2007, 02:33 PM

At the End of the Day , Vegemite is Australian , and Americans will winge about anything , maybe i should make a Video ...

AU2PWR · 09-02-2007, 02:35 PM

meh , this is gunna be my first youtube vid

AU2PWR · 09-02-2007, 02:37 PM

hmm , cant upload ti ,. anyone else wanna give it a try for me

uranium_death · 09-02-2007, 02:40 PM

Both videos suck.

The American guy did the crappest accent I have ever heard.
Boomerangs aren't necessarily meant to come back. They are meant to kill animals, similar to a spear. Retards.

Kangaroos...smell better than buffalos.

And banning Vegemite. That was because Vegemite contains folate as an additive, which the U.S. has bans against. It makes sense though. Mothers who consume folate before and during pregnancy greatly decrease the chance of their child being born with abnormalities or mental retardation.
But look at their president and what he's like...he obviously wants to increase the prospetive presidents of the future...more idiot babies.

Fine with me.

Fine with me.

a) Vegimite was not banned. It was never allowed to be imported (even then, it is still available).

b) Folate is prohibited as an additive in the USA for anything apart from bread and cereal.

But hey... what would the FDA know about health anyway, experts from a Ford discussion forum must surely be more knowledgable!

The Monty · 09-02-2007, 03:54 PM

Whats the go with the EMO kid. Nice pink hair, lol. Vegemite IS NOTHING LIKE MARMITE.
