SSgt Viljuri Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Invading the Middle Earth has not proved to be a wise policy decision through Ages. And if one seeks seclusion and quietude, why not go elsewhere? It's not like they would be short of sheep there and not everybody likes to have close relations with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalins Organ Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 There's barely enough sheep to go 'round these days - numbers are only half what they were 20 years ago - but at least that means there's also fewer Aussies here! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REVS Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I reckon Australia and New Zealand should join together and invade New Caledonia instead and announce the creation of the Greater South Pacific Co-Prosperity Sphere. We've been the nice guys for far too long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave H Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 The only problem with invading New Zealand is that once it's over you're in New Zealand. Might as well go a bit farther south and invade Antarctica. The only significant difference is there would be penguins instead of sheep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhorse Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 holy crap that was funny... 0% infantry 100% Easy LOL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people might appreciate eth difference...shrug....it takes all sorts.:cool: Of course there's nothing south of Aus apart from the Great White continent - so why not go straight from there? but either way - from Aus to NZ, or Aus to Antarctica - you're going to hae fewer Aussies so it's got to be good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinetree Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 holy crap that was funny... 0% infantry 100% Easy LOL It should really be 0.1% infantry but we know Aussies can't handle fractions.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Affentitten Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 It should really be 0.1% infantry but we know Aussies can't handle fractions.. Still, we got the Air Force bit right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalins Organ Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Yeah...once our airforce stopped being hired by you guys to be the enemy we really had no reason to bother with it. By all means pop on over.....we'll have a hangi with you! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 If the Kiwis can't be bothered to defend their nation, what good do you Ozzies think it'll do you to take it from them? Clearly not worth the effort. Not worth the effort if it were no effort at all. Begs a serious question though. With zilch army to speak of, how do the NZSAS get their peeps? Kinda hard learning to ride the SAS bicycle without having the regular army training wheels first, isn't it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 This will probably come as a shocking surprise, Elmar, but advertising agencies tend to exaggerate for effect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Affentitten Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 And to put the whole thing in context, it's an ad created for a show called The Gruen Transfer. The show is a comedy based look at the advertising industry. Each week one of the segments involves two rival ad agencies creating a TVC for something that would be "unsellable". In the past they have done ads for stuff like child labour or celibacy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinetree Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 It's pretty sad when the header is almost as big as the chart and you don't even have to scroll to see the entire organisation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Ross Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 AFAIK Costa Rica is unique in the world for having no army whatsoever. Their Government abolished it in 1949 and it hasn't bothered with one since. It is also notable (considering its region) that it hasn't had a war, not even a civil or guerilla war, since then. At least when you wussy Aussies find the Kiwis too tough you have an alternative in Central America. Beware the llamas though, they can give a nasty nip when enraged... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Affentitten Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 The Costa Rica thing is a bit of a red herring. True, they don't have an army. But they do have some pretty well armed "border police". Technically the Vatican is unique in not having a defence force made from its own citizenry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
