The Worst Australian Insult



To some Australians, the worst thing you can be called is "un-Australian." The latest annual ad from Meat and Livestock Australia makes it clear that the consequences of being un-Australian are harsh. But there's a danger in such a narrow and rigid definition of what's Australian and what isn't that's dangerously xenophobic. She's right; it's getting out of hand. But when everyone is un-Australian, they can all be un-Australian together, and enjoy a lamb barbecue! Check out some outtakes, too. Still, you may be left with questions, like exactly how do Australians eat a meat pie? With a spoon? (via Metafilter)
