    there's an Australian TV station, and their regular feature is
    making fun of USA's VP. (her Giggles, stupid remarks)

    i guess... this series had toned down a bit in the last few months?



    >>> A few days ago a touring music group cancelled its
    Newcastle concert at short notice. Not long afterward the remainder of
    its entire Australian tour was cancelled.

    It happened because one of the band members had his birthday
    party on stage in Sydney. When the birthday cake arrived, he was invited
    to make a wish. He said "I hope they don't miss next time".

    Apparently the backlash was extreme. There are more Trump
    admirers in this country than I would have guessed.<<<



    i see... it's like the Dixie-Chicks' incident from 20 years ago.



    In March 2003, the Dixie Chicks, a hugely popular
    country music group, found themselves in the midst of a massive
    controversy. While performing in London, lead singer Natalie
    Maines expressed her disapproval of the impending Iraq War and President
    George W. Bush, stating, "We're ashamed that the President of the United
    States is from Texas."
