London 2012: Australia loses bragging rights to Team GB - animation
Published Aug 8 2012, 13:36 BST | By Mayer Nissim
There's a moment in every news cycle when an event or phenomenon can truly be said to have caught the Zeitgeist.That's when Taiwan's Next Media Animation team makes a computer-animated video. This latest short film has left us pretty much speechless.
As the medals table stands today (August 8), Great Britain lies third with 22 golds, 13 silvers and 13 bronzes.
Australia is in 12th place with four golds, 12 silvers and nine bronzes.
While we can't support some of the cultural stereotypes here ('gators, convicts, Foster's and dingoes), nor the sight of a kangaroo being massacred by the Queen, this definitely made an impact.
What do you think about the latest video from NMA TV? A bit of fun, or a step too far? Let us know in the comments box below.

Hmmm look at the videos surrounding the video featured. If you want to know whats happening its obvious that he Australians New Zealanders and lots more countrys are enjoying themselves immensly in the Olympic village ( Note the story on them using 200000 condoms during this games.)But suspect reason we winning so many medals is there drinking our beer and after Fosters XXXX Coors and Dragon beer they cant cope after drinking real beer. And hence there results next day competing are dire.

Some of it was funny but the dingo stealing the baby out of the cot was a bit too far i think
