I'm Australian and on Australia Day (26th January) I thought it was hilarious that I had to scare 50 thieving Aborigine's away. It was so lifelike, here around Redfern (Aboriginal centre of Sydney) we literally have to chase thieving Aborigine's away. This is not racist, this is fact. Snoozing on the couch at home in Chippendale one day (siesta), I stirred and openning my eyes there was this aboriginal right in my living room crouching tiptoeing with his hand stretched out reaching for my mobile and wallet right next to me, in the middle of the day. Seeing me open my eyes he knew it would take a few seconds to realise I was not dreaming and to come awake, he snatched my wallet and nipped out the back door he'd openned and was over the 8 foot fence to the alley before I'd even made it to the back door. So this was a VERY fitting Australian task on Australia Day!!!

Otherwise, yes, the Russians lost the Cold War so they're after American $s this way. No one can blame them for targetting the biggest market. Most companies do. Most movies do. How many movies have you seen target the American market? Why do all the planet-wide random events always happen in NY or LA? It's not just America that's targeted, its their major cities. And forget Thanksgiving and Halloween, Christmas is not celebrated world-wide or even by all Americans either. They didn't have a Hanakah event did they? How about a Chernobyl anniversary event? We could have a Nano melt-down... Wait, that's not unique to Russia, didn't USA have 2 meltdowns? Long Island or something? I guess there's just not a lot of pretty Russian structures or events unique to Russia to celebrate. Maybe they could offer some St Peterburgh buildings to build and celebrate the downfall of the USSR?
