Personally, I'm partial to the Press the Fart Button ads. Except...not.
Snarkfest wants me to hook up and immigrate. I keep getting matchfind ads and "Immigrate to Australia" ads. Why would I want to immigrate to Australia (or the 10th province of South Africa") All the bugs and critters there are trying very hard to kill you. Scary Inland Taipans. *Shiver*
I want to immigrate to Australia! Hook me up!
(It's been a very useful day already. I had to look up
the difference between immigrate and emigrate to reply to this topic.)
I repeat: Australia has the
Inland Taipan, not to mention the
deadly funnelweb and
lethal sea-snakes.Discovery channel has put me off Australia for life.
Yes, but I know several people who have lived successfully in Australia their whole lives without dying. Also, I was there for three months and saw zero snakes and only one scary (non-poisonous) spider.

Yes, but they'll die eventually and THEN who'll have egg on her face, huh?
You guys have trampled all over my joke. THANKS A LOT.

Now, now. No need to be so sensitive. But you can't just throw out assertions like that without backing them up if you expect to have credibility. Now, I'll grant you part of what you said just on face value: yes, you appear to know several people.

TWO result in death, people.
23 years in Australia and counting. And the only place I've ever seen deadly snakes/spiders is in the zoo!
I dunno about Australia (The Shins' song ain't bad) but this ad cracked me up:

And with my luck I'd be both of them. I'd sidestep a taipan only to fall into a nest of funnelwebs next to a lagoon full of seasnakes. Then a piano would fall out of the sky and go splat. That really happened to me once.
Really though, I'm not racialist towards snakes. It's the sharks I don't trust.
Am I the only one who's seen the Men With Menstrual Cramps ad? (Advertising a site called www.menwithcramps.com).
OMG YOU GUYS! I am eligible to live and work in the United States of America!!! It's a dream come true!!!1111!!
