Guest Gary C Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8597292.stm Few are laughing in Australia following Robin Williams' joke that its people are "basically English rednecks".His remarks, made on The Late Show with David Letterman, prompted Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to respond on a Sydney radio show. "I think Robin Williams should go and spend a little time in Alabama before he frames comments about people being particularly redneck," said Mr Rudd. Williams, 58, said Australia was an "unusual country", adding: "If [Charles] Darwin had landed in Australia, he'd have gone, 'I'm wrong - I don't know what I was thinking'." I don't find Robin Williams particularly funny anymore, but you've got to love the Australia Hate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Yegg Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Mhmm, he's not really funny anymore but he's a nice guy. He used to give us toothbrushes and glow sticks whenever we Trick or Treated at his house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
