Virtually nobody watches Crocodile Hunter in Australia and I do not know any Australians who drinks Fosters! And people are using these caricatures to combat Joe Six Pack's assertion that all Americans are ignorant. Can't you see the irony?

You may be right.
But when I traveled the world for 12 months, I encountered my fair share of Britons and Aussies who had never been to America and made cracks about the U.S., in the process demonstrating their ignorance of the U.S. Much of the time it was all in good fun.
I would like to say that all the people who make the cracks about Croc Hunter and Fosters are just taking the piss and don't really think that all aussies consume these products, but sadly I think there are a number of people on this board who are that ignorant, but I would hardly say they're represenative of America.
And, besides, I know the truth: You all eat at Outback... LOL
That *was* a joke....
