No, not brainwashed--they are usually 84.7 % drunk every day. They suffer from Foster's beer syndrome. It is a malady that comes from downing a minimum of a six pack a day at the very least. These numbers come from an Aussie with the syndrome and he must be a good source, albiet a very fuzzy one. Under the influence of such a disease, many Aussies fail to vote or can't remember what they voted for.

As for the People's Republic of Australia being far left, try New Zealand. They are left of Mao.

No real Australian would be caught dead drinking Foster's unless it was the only beer available for miles around... oh, excuse me, KILOMETERS.

Likewise, while we pay $5 or $6 a botlle for Corona in the US because it's so exotic, Mexicans consider it to be the Pabst Blue Ribbon of their country, if not lower. It's the sort of beer that homeless winos can pick up for the equivalent of 50 cents or so.

And it works both ways: There are plenty of countries where the people actually consider Budweiser to be an outstanding import that's well worth the $7 or so per 16-oz bottle they pay for it, while we can get fourties of Bud from the Quik-E-Mart on the corner for a buck forty-nine.
