It's worse if you're a New Zealander. Every representation of you in American media has an Australian accent.

So apparently the Americans do know the difference between Australian and English, they just can't be bothered trying :P


When was the last time a New Zealander was represented in American media? That's almost as rare as Houston being mentioned.


Numerous shows have a one off 'go to NZ' episode. A more so since Lord of the Rings. Apparently it's full of Australians. Once some show even had a spontaneous NZ transfer student that was female and busty and blonde and Australian.

EVEN SHORTLAND STREET?


Even Shortland Street what? (Actually, I've never seen an entire episode of Shortland Street so no matter what you mean I have no idea).

Well Shortland street was set in New Zealand so I'd be gutted to find out the actors were just australian :P

I think they were OK though...

I haven't seen it for years and years.

The accent thing can get worse. We used to have a nice man from russia always come into work, who clearly sounded russian, and people used to think he was british. o_O

I meant American shows with 'New Zealanders' or 'New Zealand' in them. I would suppose the majority of Shortland Street is made up of New Zealanders. Eww...icky soaps with 3500+ episodes...

The fall of the Soviet Union and decline of evil Russian villains due to not-PCness has obviously dulled thier Russian identification skills.
