A matter of perspective

For example, there is an ad on TV right now for a men's deoderant. A foreign visitor accidentally gets sprayed by the deoderant and as a result, a sexy young woman becomes turned on by him, says, "Bom-chica-wow-wow" and tears off his clothes.

His response is, "God bless America."

Companies don't even bother to change their ads to make them specific to us. We're expected to identify that closely with America now. Just another one of the states.

I'm glad you brought that ad up. It sums the whole issue up quite succinctly.

I hate it how American tourists (more the middle aged ones, I know cool Americans my age) kind of walk around surprised about everything, in an 'oh isn't that so quaint' kind of way. Like they're visiting a zoo set up for their amusement instead of a country.

But as you mentioned Samadhi, I'm sure a drunken Australian punk ain't the best invader of your country either :)

Yeah its a weird joint but the people were just so god damn friendly, they were falling over themselves to look after us and thanks to that I now have a great love for the place and the people.

I've been to the States twice (L.A. and Alaska) and I've noticed this. But I think it is more to do with being Australian than anything else. They just fucking loves Aussies.

Case In Point:

When I went to Alaska I got pulled up for every random luggage search, even before leaving Australia, which I'm sure had nothing to do whatsoever with my dyed bright red hair. Anyways I'm just about to get through customs at Anchorage when this security guard comes gruffly barreling over needing to see my passport. The instant he looks at my passport he starts smiling and actually says, "Oh you're Australian, sorry the weird hair threw me, go right on through."

Haha one thing I remember fondly about being in Alaska is being in the smallest town ever, Girdwood, and in the only bar some chick trying to sell me meth, and another guy running to a friend's house to get Shrooms for me. The War on Drugs is definitely far from over :)
 
I really want to go to America... expecially Alaska. Whenever i even think of Alaska, i automatically start humming the tune to Northern Exposure (i loved that show). :D We recently met an American bluelighter (zer0502) who is (unfortunately) going back to the USA in December. It may just give the Mr and I the kick in the pants we need to save for a big trip over there for our 10th anniversary in 2009. Having said that, there are SO many places i'd like to visit, i don't know if we'll get to all of them. :\

i smiled. my daughters name is Alaska and i too wish to travel there someday (hopefully before global warming takes too bad atoll). i remember choosing her name as i was browsing through a lonely planet guide when pregnant and being blown away by the photographs of the untouched beauty that was Alaska; I then fanatically researched the country, watched documentaries and SWORE it was an Atlantis on earth.

and then i gave up psychedelics. ha. ;)

i love our international counterparts, quirks and all. adversity makes for an interesting lifetime and broad perspectus. <3

I'll bet you 9 out of 10 wouldn't know your seasons are reversed from ours.

BWAHAHAHAHAA.

No, no we said Americans are stupid, not Australians.


Carry on.
 
^ I would have thought most of us know that our seasons are opposite, mainly because you guys have the whole "white Christmas" thing going, and we're eating prawns, cold cuts of meat, salads, and spending xmas day either swimming in the pool, and in our thongs and t-shirts watching the Boxing Day test match. :D

That's another thing... in America, a thong is a kind of underwear that girls wear to entice older rich men into buying them cars.

In Australia, it's a kind of footwear. Therefore, when Australian girls carelessly talk about wearing thongs and leaving thongs at people's houses, it leads us to believe that all Australian women are sluts. God bless Australia!
 
^What happens when they when they are dressed in a thong and also have them on their feet??? Is that double heaven? ;)
Looks at samadhi...:) Christmas is just around the corner.. i want to see this %) <3

i never knew you had been to my house at xmas time

but then again, i spend a lot of my time in the summer wearing my thong around the pool eating seafood and drinking
 
Can't we have both? (be sluts and refer to footwear as thongs) :D

We call that style of underwear "g-strings" or my favourite term "g-banger" :D

Oh, there will be g-banger AND thong Xmas action...

And you know this.... MAN!

=D

I have never really understood how it got referred to as a banger though

Neither do i, but that's never stopped me in the past. I love the term g-banger - it sounds better than g-string, and much better than thong. :D
