'WTF' was my first reaction.

Anybody live there that can tell me how it's like?

Wow that's really weird. I'd expect to hear about that on the news(tv) but oddly enough I've heard nothing about it. I suggest that Toronto(Canada) gets turned into Japan :D.

Actually you cant call them americans just cause they live and work in US.

Also nothing wrong with a week like this to celebrate your country.

The ironic thing is, people do get Australians and Austrians mixed up. There is also people who claim Swedish people are from Swisstherland :P

You know, they had this show in Australia (you probably know Shade), called CNN&N, and it's basically a satire of CNN, where they have comedy in CNN style reporting. They have a 'reporter' on the streets of America, asking questions about either their country, or something related to it. They asked some people where Iraq is on the map, and only 24% knew where it was...and then they asked who their first president was...

Jon Stewart is the best
i saw an interview with him in 60 minutes and when the interviewers were expecting a funny Jon he made a lot of statments and backed it all up with facts. they were like HUH? WTF? Where did this came from?
the way he makes fun of everything is wonderful
