Saw way too many of these flags on cars today. Up there with reindeer antlers in the tackiness stakes. And while I'm at it, equally tacky was the guy on the motorised scooter we saw with a green and gold mohawk wig over his motorbike helmet and the inflatable yellow and green kangaroo sitting behind him on the bike.And let's throw in all the Australia Day merchandise with flags on it as well: tattoos, bikinis, towels, singlet tops, T shirts, stubbie holders etc. This morning I went to buy a public transport GoCard at a local convenience shop. I couldn't get any assistance when I first arrived because the young guy serving (of Indian appearance) was busy getting Australian tattoos put on his face by a crowd of young blonde girls clad in their Australia bikinis and super-short shorts. He couldn't even wait for me to put my card into the EFTPOS machine before he had to go and get them to peel the backing off his left cheek tattoo. Convenience and service were conspicuous in their absence.
You heard it here first: we'll be seeing the bunny ears start appearing on cars next week.
