I've seen the anti-immigration posters for Australia many times, but I was wondering if it was an inside joke between Australia and Canada, that I wasn't aware of. The geography challenged works, thanks.

I tried to find it on you tube but struck out, but, there is a TV commedy skit where the comedian (?Michael Moore?) is interviewing people on the street in the USA. He asks them their opinion of North Korea, and then asks them to find it on the map he has, which has been altered so that Tasmania is marked as South Korea and mainland Australia is North Korea.
Various comments :"I never realized North Korea was so much bigger than South Korea..."
I so wanted to find that, and insist the map was N.K. Oh well, sigh.

Try looking for "Rick Mercer: Talking to Americans" He's a Canadian comedian who walks around asking people in the states ridiculous questions about Canada to film their idiocy. I was so embarassed for my homeland the first time I saw that. I immigrated to Canada from Ohio after I married a Canadian

Half my father's family settled in Hamilton, Ontario, but I need a passport to visit them.

All I can think is what sugarpop said in another thread, and I'm paraphrasing I think, "these guys didn't get laid in high school."
