Where beer does flow and men chunder.

Um, excuse me. Could one of the fifteen Australians who found my blog in the past day or two by searching for some combination of "Melana + Jason + together" please explain themselves? I've come up with a few possible answers:

1) Australian TV recently filled a programming void by replaying the American reality hit (?) Average Joe, but preempted the cataclysmic finale in favor of the World Cricket Championships.

2) The venal, vapid "winners" of Average Joe (the aforementioned Melana and Jason) have been spotted on Bondi Beach a) necking b) fighting or c) using poor grammar.

3) Melana is Russell Crowe's secret love child and Jason is blackmailing the Thighmaster to keep the scoop from the Sydney Morning Herald by demanding a gig with 30 Odd Foot of Grunt.

4) Despite the brilliance of their native cinema (Strictly Ballroom! Priscilla! Babe! Gallipoli!), Australians have become obsessed with the romantic follies of venal, vapid, but admittedly pretty American reality TV contestants.

The other group of folks from Down Under who've been arriving chez moi in recent weeks is the crowd looking for news about Barbie's new boy toy, an Aussie boogie boarder named Blaine. I'm not quite sure what to make of this one, either. Are the folks from Oz simply thrilled to have one of their own canonized in anatomically incorrect plasticine form, or what?
