The Australian Invasion of Earth
Australia is slowly invading the countries of the world.
Ugg boots.
Foster's (AKA "godawful vile liquid we can ship to foolish countries").
Hugh Jackman.
Cinema-wise, the Hollywood casting lists for US film and TV are packed full of Aussies.
(Already did another post about that, the most surprising case being the lead two characters for "Without A Trace" being Australian.)
Outback Steakhouses worked out, but are a botched attempt to overthrow McDonald's which somehow was half-successful.
(The Agent behind the horrid attempt has cut off his "didgeridoo" in shame.)
In the UK and Europe, "The Bill" got an Aussie cast member, Kylie hasn't left often (most recently appeared on "Doctor Who") and "Neighbours" is fed to UK homes like crack to addicts.
Japan loves the country so much, hundreds of thousands of tourists snapshot the place by the pack load every month.
And slowly, and surely, this planet falls to us.
Citizens of the Earth!
KNEEL BEFORE OZ!
