Upside-down text for comments/replies with even the vaguest connection to Australia. Also, the "everything in Australia will kill you" meme has been done to death...

I disagree. Memes are memes. No need to think further or get offended.

Think like this: Not everybody is 7/24h on this site, so for them it's new and funny.

It's been done to death because memes from Australia will kill you...

I agree with turtlelogo, but you just made me laugh out loud. This is what I missed about Reddit. I'm home

Thanks for agreeing, however: Even though I'm 100% Australian, the Austrian in me asks why? What is funny about this? Please explain the humour? We Austrian's know humour, and this is not funny...
