Dear colleagues. At the moment we are running a film-ad in Oz featuring our Mr. Steve Irwin. and a few months back you would have run the feature starring him, "Crocodile Hunter--"
At the risk of stating the obvious I must emphasize that the vast majority of Australians are NOT like him, in fact he embarrasses us acutely, and is NOT a good example of Australians.
As a matter of interest, in your respective parts of the world, do you have a media person who embarresses you and misrepresents your country as per the above?
Regards. John Spooner. South Australia.

No need to worry, John. Everybody knows that Australians are not all like Steve Irwin. They are all like Paul Hogan.
