Pommy Baiting

Australia is a very outdoors and very active city. As such they have a large number of National Sports including Rugby Union, Rugby League, Australian Rules Football (though nobody seems to know the rules to this), and Cricket (though nobody seems to know the rules for this either).


However by far the most popular sport in Australia appears to be 'Pommy Baiting'. Basically Pommy Baiting involves the ritual and systematic 'bagging' of the Limeys by the colonials (most of whom's parents or grandparents were british though they like to cover this up). 

Most Pommy Baiting revolves around our inability to take the sun. We are known to sit out there for hours and turn interesting shades of red. Other hot topics include sporting prowess (cricket, rugby, whatever the British or English may have lost at recently), and beer drinking ability.

The reason I am raking all of this up though, is that the Aussies are currently showing this pretty funny ad for Bundaberg Rum:



A classic display of Pommy Baiting.
