Australia: a mountainous nation in Europe
Given that Australian TV networks are parochial enough that the US broadcaster NBC decided to drop the tribute to victims of London’s 7/7 terrorism attacks from its coverage the following should come as little surprise.
According to NBC’s guide to Australia, the country is “located in central Europe, bordered to the north by Germany and the Czech Repulic”. Australia is, apparently “primarily mountainous”.
Which sounds a lot like Austria to Dr Mumbo.
I’ve just come back from Europe and in Austria you can buys tee shirts with a road sign printed slogan saying “There are no Kangaroos in Austria” . Surely NBC can work that one out!

Um, I agree that that Australian TV networks are parochial, but what on earth do they have to do with NBC?

I was also wondering what the Australian networks’ parochialism has to do with NBC.
