    WTF is with sky with this australia day>???


    is it really a holiday over there? and if it is why is sky ramming it down or throats over here.


    i admit paddy's day gets rammed down everyones throat but this just feels like an excuse to show crappy uncovered shows and poke fun at australia losing to england in the rugby.



    for those without sky. They are advertising great shows to celebrate australia day...


    on paddy's day i dont feel the irish ram it down everyone elses throat more akin they took it on themselves (primarily the americans) and i dont see much on sky about it when its paddy's day.

    Well Sky is owned by Rupert Murdoch who before he sold out to the Yanks was an Aussie - he still is at heart
    and accent! Also Sky News will have plenty of Paddies Day stuff come March 17th.
