Actually, English people are not genetically German/Dutch or Southern Danish. Genetically, about 70% of the British genepool descends from the original founding population of prehistoric Britain (long before the arrival of Germanic people). Genetically, the closest relatives to modern Britons are...

She was born in Seattle, but she studied acting in Australia and then did her first film in New Zealand. That's why her Aussie / NZ accents are so perfect.

@venx006 Australia and the Netherlands are two completely different countries. The Netherlands as a country is like if Sydney was a country: it's dense, urban and also would have legalised gay marriage 10 years ago. The fact is, Australia is a big country: it isn't just urban. And that's why we'...

@SoaringTrumpet Religion is a nonissue in Australia. About 1/3 of the population is atheist or agnostic. And based on census figures, Christianity will be a minority religion within about 5 years. It's no surprise - it was founded by convicts. The official religion of Britain (and the colony) wa...

@slinter The sequence of the movie is actually quite different; it was edited for this clip.

Well, he's not the first... Australian Rugby player Ian Roberts came out in 1995 while still playing. Also, Australian diver Matthew Mitcham is openly gay - the only openly gay athlete at the 2008 games. And she should all that, given her wife is Australian.

AJ needs to realise that being a "slut" doesn't have to be such a bad thing. I mean, yes, I think he has some deep-seated insecurities that he needs to work on - maybe with a counsellor - but he can have open relationships.

I'm outraged and offended. I cannot believe how judgemental this show is. How DARE that woman who "was a sex worker" tell others that she had a "hole" in her heart - that she filled with what, Jesus? Coming from a country where sex work is legal and open (Australia), I know many people in the sex...

@EnigmaHood Yes, there is a history of racism linked with blackface makeup in America... Not here. It didn't occur to anyone here that it might have been racist. And why would it? We're not Americans.

This exposes how ignorant Americans are of other cultures. You're placing an American stereotype into an Australian ad. You must be aware that we don't have African Americans (obviously), so the stereotype of "black people eating chicken" doesn't exist to us and would never occur to us in a mil...

I'm Australian. I really wouldn't have thought it offensive - at all - until you pointed it out. It was, completely, unintentional. We don't have stereotype here... So... It's just not racist here. Would be in America, though. It's just perplexing that you'd think the same stereotype existed ...
