trust me, there are probably plenty of Americans like myself that are sick of listening to those damned commercials
Tergon:
I know, I know. Our parents have much to answer for by letting that stereotype take place. I do the best I can to make my position clear when I meet new friends from overseas with a short list.
1 - If you irritate me, I will not say "Crikey". The language I will use will be considerably blunter and more colourful.
2 - No, I do not want a Fosters. The reason we export that carbonated fairy urine is because nobody in Australia drinks it.
3 - Shrimp are tiny little things used to bait fishhooks. If I'm going to grill some seafood, it will be a prawn.
4 - It was later confirmed that the dingo really did kill that lady's daughter. Stop making jokes about it.
5 - Kangaroos are not horses, Koalas are vicious sharp-clawed little bastards, and I am no more willing to fight a crocodile than you are.
6 - If you don't stop mimicking my accent I will set you on fire.
I actually printed that out on a card that I carried around in my pocket at one point. :D Seemed to get the point across well! Until someone asked if I could sign it and give it to them. And yes, I swear to God, that actually happened. :roll:

You guys have Fosters, but us Yanks have Bud/Coors/Miller. The trifecta of watery crap-beers. I haven't had Foster, so I don't know if it's worse than say, Coors (which, when extremely cold, has the decency to at least like nothing. Not like nothing else, just absolutely devoid of flavor.) But anyway, despite the popularity of those three, there are actually good American beers.
Tergon:
*nods*
I've been to maybe three pubs in my life that had Fosters on tap. Those that sold it kept it in the bottom of the fridge, at the back, out of the way... because nobody ever asked for it, but deals with breweries mean they'd at least have it in stock. I could understand the stereotype if it was just a bad beer popular with bogans, but it's not even at that standard. Literally nobody I know drinks it at all, because there's other, far more tolerable beers, that cost less... and many other excellent beers that cost only slightly more.
So yeah, we feel each other's pain, MoM.
Method of Madness:
Well what sucks is that at least Australians know Foster is shit. But the shit beer over here is the most popular. So at least it makes sense for people to think American beer is shitty because most Americans drink shitty beer. And I can understand drinking it, say, at home with friends, because you can get a 30 pack of shitty beer for like $10. But if you go to a bar, and a pint of Miller Light is $5, and a pint of a delicious IPA is also $5, and you still buy Miller Light...well, that's when you've lost me.
