Top Gear Australia - Upside Down Picture

leadfoot13 · January 29th, 2009, 4:36 AM

Why is the picture of the guys of Top Gear Australia on the homepage of FG upside down? Bad attempt at humor being Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere, so they are backwards?

Have you ever heard of going down under?

Yes, it's supposed to be humurous, and I got a laugh out of it the first I saw it.

Yeah, I have, for as long as I have seen it like that, I figured as much. I got a little chuckle out of it.

Everyone knows people walk on the ceiling in Australia.

No no, you are getting your country stereotypes confused now. What you describe is the scenario in Russia. images/smilies/wink.gif

I assumed it was meant to refer to the 'antipodes' i.e. being on the other side of the world. I didn't really like it either but not enough to start a thread.

You guys are too serious / sensitive. It's just a joke. Yeesh.

I believe a rather Australian phrase needs to be said, and by an Australian too.

Harden the fuck up.

It's just a little picture, and a joke at that too.
