@gwokstar This event is really start take on a life of its own, it isn't going away !!! The appropriate ministerial department, may need too get a hold of the matter and find a proper resolution, before the subject makes its way to the floor of the US House of Representatives, and the out come is a set of sanctions condemning Austrailians, and such. ( International humiliation & embarrassment on a wide-world scale and stage ).

[gwokstar]

@MrJeffreydunson Yeah... right sure... cause you guys have nothing better to deal with than 5 mins of a poorly rated tv show in Australia that has a vague reference to a percentage of your population. Its not like, you know, you're the biggest global polluter per capita, or one of the fattest nations, or have a huge oil spill causing untold environmental damage. Oh no.. America is going to spend time and money over this 5 min skit.

Good joke. haha

Listen to me, the media will only ever report what they want you to know. They are about making stories not reporting facts. So if omitting important information, regardless of who it hurts achieves that then that's what they will do.

If someone gets hurt from it, then there's another media story.

[gwokstar]

This is a very true point, but a bit disheartening to think the media which influences so much of global culture is more interested in money making than contributing positively!

[MrJeffreydunson]

@gwokstar, we're not talking about " many other countries" - no we're talking about your countrymen, insulting on two occasions, an American tennis star(S. Williams), and the Jackson family, --- for no reason !!! I'm not a block-head ! fun is fun !! We all get it, but.... This was Racist Austrailians, at their worst !!! President Obama, shall arrive / visit, your nation in march,(if it han't been cancelled!!), and I'm sure it shall be on the table, during private talks. the US isn't austraila !

[gwokstar]

lol. When did Australia insult Sarina Williams?? I'm not a fan of her at all but I heard NOTHING about that. And Australians bag EVERY celebrity. Its practically part of our culture to have tall poppy syndrome. You should hear the crap thats said about Lleyton Hewitt, and Australian WHITE tennis player all the time.

I'm sorry but I do believe this skit was twisted by many people to mean more than it really did.

[joelabo]

@gwokstar Wow, you are so racist. Being born with red hair......... And PUBES.... I guess you would have had some respect... GO HOME!

[MrJeffreydunson]

@gwokstar It's one-year later and the only thing that people of the world, knows, or regard Australians as, are " Crazy & Wild Racist Nazis ", just as i recall was doomed to happen !!! Now, you have more then, just Americans, bashing the nation of Australia ( World-view ). You, had a change of Government, down under hopefully  that will help to correct the current problem(s). Good-luck !!!

@AUZZIEAZZA that is the point it aint your history so we can use another countries bad history to make shitty tv and we dont care if we offend anyone? is that what you are saying?

[Eshayzbra96]

@antwandaplaya LOL our main culture is Christianity and America has the highest of any country of KKK members and Neo Nazis also you see KKK members wearing blackface and wigs,do they get a hole big deal out of this NO! and if you dont like it here then fuck off! or get bashed by a few lads (me i wish) and suffer cos us aussies hate hypocritical ignorent assholes like yous.

[Eshayzbra96]

@MrJeffreydunson Dude if we are racist we wouldnt have the KKK and espeicaly the Nazi walking around our streets now would we plus ever heard of sharp?no well look it up

[agito18]

@antwandaplaya Well that did not answer the question. You were asked if you say america is not ignorant and doesn't have a discusting culture and yet you did not answer. Which shows (as your other comments do) that you have a bias against Australia and the affects your view of this matter.

[AUZZIEAZZA]

@antwandaplaya "ignorence and disgusting culture? " and I bet your american?? and let me guess, and you are saying america is not ignorant and doesn't have a discusting culture? I think the majority of the worlds population would disagree with that

[AUZZIEAZZA]

Dude, it was done here...in Australia, I know u Americans think u own the world but it wasn't our history so get over it...cheers I have lol

@DeluxeReissue We're all now living in the 21st century, the rest is just history. They look like the Jackson 5 to me, even have MJ with the white face, are you saying you could do a better job? How exactly would you have gone about looking more like the Jackson 5? Would you try some form of plastic surgery? Somehow get exact moulds of all the Jackson faces, dig up MJ to get it just right. For FFS this is a $10 tribute, it's not the fucking Sydney Theatre Company! It's a harmless comedy show.
