Patriotic or Bogan

I was on my way to work this morning and I while I was riding along I was counting “My Family” stickers on cars, hey it is a fun game to play.

I was up to 5 stickers when I came up behind a Holden station wagon with a collection of stickers on the back window. So there were 7 stickers on the back window, we had a few southern crosses (both the stars and a flag), a couple of Australian flags, a outline of Australia with the explanation that apparently out country is full and lastly a huge one taking up the top portion of the window explaining that as we are Australians we drink beer, eat pies and speak English.

Now while riding behind this car looking at his collection of stickers it made a few questions come to mind. How many Aussie stickers do you need to cross the line of being Patriotic and entering the world of Bogans?

The second thing I wondered is how are we full? Did you get a memo from the PM when you bought the sticker explaining to you that you are doing the country a great service by informing the rest of the nation to the fact that apparently we are full?

Looking at this map it appears that we do in fact have quite a lot of room left over  so I am really unsure of where they are getting their information from.


Funniest part was when I overtook him he had more on his side windows.
