Poll: Do you think Aussies ride Kangaroos?

[swankyfella]

How could they not?

 

[legion431]

When I went to Australia I had to take the kangaroo to the hotel. Better than a taxi.

And cheaper.

Of course they do, just like us Brits who ride pigeons and our Welsh friends who ride sheep...wait no! Not like that!!!

LOL, we Aussies make that same joke about New Zealanders. ;-)

I was under the impression that the only person badass enough to ride a kangaroo is Saxton Hale.

Him and Steve Irwin are the definition of Australian manliness. RIP Steve.

You forgot Paul Hogan. :-(

Oh gawd I did. Please forgive me.

How many people here are actually Australian? Cause they would know that the average Australian grows a kangaroo from birth and they are spiritually bound and they do everything together i love my Kango

 

[FalloutJack]

I have relations in Australia. This never happened. Kangaroos not only can't support humans on their back, but would be unwilling to.

 

[Aur0ra145]

I'm from Texas and we ride bulls to school, so what's the big deal about kangaroos?

 

[thenoblitt]

i have no idea if your a troll, stupid, trying to make a joke, or what but im not even Australian, but i think that this question is pretty fucked up

 

[CarpathianMuffin]

If you see a kangaroo, you have to ride it.

It's an unspoken law in Australia and zoos worldwide.

 

[Ikaruga33]

Not sure if trolling or very stupid

 

[Treeinthewoods]

It is a 100% indisputible fact that all Australians do ride Kangaroos every single day as they go about their business playing didgeridoos and throwing boomerangs.

The english word "Van" (a vehicle used to transport large groups of people) stems from a common Australian slang term "Vangaroo" which denotes a kangaroo capable of carrying more than five people (van is Australian for "five.")

Every person claiming to be Australian and saying they don't ride kangaroos is actually either an ignorant non-australian trolling you, an Australian who doesn't want you to know their secret or Vin Diesel, who hates Australia and kangaroos with a passion ever since his father was brutally run down by a battalion of Australian Vangaroo Tanks in north africa during World War II. This is why in every Vin Diesel movie after the end credits there is a special message from Vin regarding the dangers of travel down under.

These are all absolute truths. No amount of silly "scientific" claims to the counter hold any water in a reasonable world based on logic (which is where I clearly am living since I know the truth).

ITT: Australians that can take a joke

 

[Mad Hamish]

Yes of course they do!
Just as Canadian Mounters ride bears!

I thought they rode elk. Chinese ride bears (pandas that is). But, yeah. It makes sense to ride a Kangaroo. I certainly would.

I'm sorry, but the Chinese ride dragons.

 

[The Long Road]

Aussies ride kangaroos, it's a fact like all Germans hate jews, all Americans are huge overweight slobs, Irish people are drunk and French people are cowards. Also Martians are evil.

Weren't these facts? Amirite or wut?

OT: No I don't believe like that said.

You're kind of undermining your point about stereotypes not being true when you bring up the French there...

OT: Why would anyone vote no? There's pictoral evidence right there in the first post! You might as well be asking "do your eyes function properly?" or "have you ever heard of Photoshop?". Duh!

Sarcasm, I dunno if you were using it but I sure was .

Well, the rest are just stereotypes, but the French are cowards for real. I mean, it took a Corsican for them to start not running away from... anything...

 

[thrillingsuspense]

Yes but not like in the picture. They ride in the pouch.

 

[Vandy]

I don't know about the kangaroo's, but I hear they use wombats as rollerblades.

 

[OldGus]

So do you think Australians ride kangaroos? Or is it just a made up story? And this is just one of many prejudices that people associate with societies today. What other stereotypes can you think of that are related to societes and cultures?

To answer your question.... Only the Ausome ones.

"Hey, in Australia, do you ride kangaroos?
In America, do you ride fat people...?"

And to answer your (not real) question (taken out of context).... Unfortunately, there's just so few normal people to ride.

 

[tthor]

if you think Minnesotans ride skiis to school, then yes

 

[Blue Musician]

As I have recently moved to Melbourne I'm disappointed by the lack of kangaroos.

 

[thylasos]

Unsurprisingly, no. People's gullibility is greatly exagerrated.
