You must live in a vacuum. Have you ever seen the trash aimed at children by the American Media (aka eneMedia) and the "publik Skewlz?"
How can your Australian acquaintances reconcile that trash with their impression of you?
I assume (I know, I know) that just as our media does not reflect us other nations media does not necessarily reflect the majority of their nations population.
That’s why I only turn my tv on for a DVD or to the History Channel. I KNOW the garbage. But this “life calculator” is abysmal! Have you looked at it yet?
