Australia Day is coming up. It's a controversial holiday because it's celebrated on the day the "first fleet" arrived from England, and many Aboriginal (and other) Australians find it offensive to celebrate the day the destruction of the native people began. There's been a growing movement to move Australia Day away from First Fleet day so it's more of a holiday for all Aussies.
It's traditional to have a barbecue on Australia Day, and since lamb is eaten often, the Lamb Council puts out an Australia Day Lamb Ad every year. This one's a cracker - if you follow the link, you can watch the awesome commercial, then read the comments from white Australians who are super offended by the idea that Australia Day should be for everyone.
