Don't they know about Tall Poppies?

Yes we are all aware of the great things North American's have given the world... because they keep telling us. They even tell us when it wasn't them. Guess I can't say too much about that, being Australian - since we seem to like appropriating famous people from New Zealand (or anywhere really - all they have to do is touch down here).... Anyway, we already knew about the great things and we know about a lot of other things too unfortunately. Finding out wonderful things about ourselves as well.
