That Australians / Australia is an outback country always how it is portrayed in cartoons and some movies and that Australians (or as we call ourselves Aussies) are all idiots?

*Sighs* I go onto one of these well-known/popular creative sites such as DeviantArt or OverClocked Remix only to log into my accounts with messages from people all around the world asking the most absolutely IDIOTIC questions.

Here are some questions that I get asked daily:

"Do Kangaroos' really hop down the main street of Sydney?"
> Hell no, not unless any have managed to break out of the Zoo. The only place you'll find them is in the d*mn wild. Not near the CITY.
If you want them near a city, go to a hole known as Canberra.

"Do you guys really wear Khaki all the time, like the Croc Hunter did?"
> You must be stupider than the last questioner if you've sent me this one... the answer is obviously no. Mainly those who work in Wildlife wear Khaki but on November Fifteenth we now have a day called Steve Irwin Day where you either carry around something of a Crocodile OR you wear Khaki and any funds raised on that day goes to the various foundations he and his family have supported over the years.

"Do you guys really sound that stupid in real life?"
> What do you think? Sure some of us may have an accent but nobody over here honestly gives a cr*p about how we sound since we're living in one country. You would be surprised at how often idiotic people class those of higher intelligence as idiots...

---

Do you absolutely know how these idiotic questions drive me absolutely INSANE?!

*Sighs*

I'm really starting to hate some countries as a ton of Americans send me random messages with all sorts of the aforementioned cr*p, lots of people from countries in Asia - mainly China send all sorts of cr*p... not to mention friends I have in various countries do this to p*ss me off (such as the friends in Sweden who speak English but want to p*ss me off even more so by posting the damn questions and other cr*p in SWEDISH). WHAT THE HELL?!

*Ahems*

Sorry, short rant as I have gone through a few hundred of these messages and other cr*p this morning.
