Ben Shapiro is mad that kids like a cartoon dog, so his company The Daily Wire is debuting a right-wing alternative.

They are trying to ruin Bluey? Australia's second greatest cultural export? Is nothing sacred any more?

It's pathetic how they are not making shows out of love, but out of spite.

What's the greatest cultural export in your opinion?

Esteemed Academy Award nominated character actor Hugh Jackman, of course!

That man can sing.

I'd say it's a tie between Steve Irwin and the bloomin' onion.

... the bloomin' onion isn't Australian. Americans made it up.

Um, no. It was brought over by poor Australian immigrant outback steak chefs in the 1980s. You can tell it's legit because all thier menu items have authentic Australian words in them.

I swear one of the most American things ever is to think a lot of the foods we associate with certain countries that we invented came from other countries.

Makes it seem more exotic. That fortune cookie? Super exotic because you can only get them when you eat Chinese, so they must have originated from China!

All these people forgetting about the Wiggles.

The Wiggles at one point were the highest-grossing Australian band of all time, beating out AC/DC. (I don't think that's true anymore though.)

The wiggles could never all be on a plane together. I think they said they always sent 2+2 on commercial flights so if one crashed half the band would still be around
