A cute ad:

... and I thought that maybe the nerd in the tie is a joke about religious door-to-door callers. Am I starting to think that everything is about us?
Australia Day ad; am I reading too much into the guy-in-a-tie joke?

Australia has a special place in my heart. I want to share with you this poem written during one of the lowest chapters of my life. My only advice is, please don't cry for me.
Waterroo
A gift for Australia and the children of the world
Edited by Adrienne Barnathan (Australian)I dreamt of Australia,
Land of the zoo
With many a rah
and many a roo;
Where kangaroos leap
and emus skip;
Where koalas cuddle
and cockatoos cackle;
Where barramundis swim
and dingoes teem;
Where kookaburras laugh
and wallabies hop;
Where echidnas probe
and wombats rove;
Where opossums fake
and bandicoots rake;
Where budgerigars tweet
and crocodiles seethe;
Where platypuses ‘plash
and Tasmanian devils crash.
An island continent
where cows are content.
A land so vast –
’twas snubbed by the Dutch.
The land where lies Uluru,
a protean plateau;
Where lies Kakadu
with many a cockatoo;
Where lies Kogarah
with all the birds’ brouhaha;
Where lies Canberra,
Seat of the zoo’s chimaera;
Where lies Darwin,
evolution still a-ragin’;
Where lies Darling,
still a-weeping;
Where lies
the Great Dividing Range
Between me and the range;
Where lies
the Great Barrier Reef,
impossible to leap;
Where lies Timbuktu,
a mountain to climb through;
Where lies Waterroo
of my dream untrue. -

My, you certainly didn't leave an Australian cliche unturned!

Oh, are they? Sorry, mate, I'm no Aussie.
