If he's stealing trademarks and using them incorrectly, I'm calling myself an "aussie" and going to say "ozzie ozzie ozzie, oh oh oh" instead of the correct usage of it.

BTW: New South Wales is my favourite state in all of Australia and I'm a big fan of the All Blacks (I believe they're a NZ team)
