Kyoto Protocol is a Japanese Takeaway?
Aargh. I hate it when international media makes everyone in Australia look like a bunch of wankers. Okay, so they may be right and all.
How ridiculous! The Daily Telegraph did a very limited poll - and by the looks of it they did it in the mall by asking the dumbest people they could find. And I really wonder about the survey anyway. If someone asks "What is the *insert anything* protocol?" you could be pretty sure it didn't have anything to do with cars or food, yeah? But since they were asking "What is Kyoto?" I really hope a few people mentioned it was a place in Japan.
But then again, maybe it's got a valid point. If ANYONE answered incorrectly they must have been living under a rock.
Either way, we have dumb statistics showing Australians to be dumb and now the dumb UK sensationalist papers have picked up on it. Dumb newspapers.
On another note, one lovely friend of mine pointed out something very interesting: Two months ago we would never have thought Australia would send a female, Asian, lesbian minister to ratify the Kyoto Protocol. My how things have changed :)
