50 Cents?  Tara!  Someone is trying to cheat you out of cash over here!

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)
