Vegemite wars

In February 2007, Australian news program A Current Affair picked up Going's January 27th, 2007, The Australians are Fooling Us All! and used it to springboard a mock defense of Vegemite. In his video, Going imagines the substance to be made of "yeast, salt and pain." To counter, A Current Affair enlisted media personality Peter FitzSimons, who muses Vegemite to comprise, rather, "the distilled essence of Australia".[9] Although the segment focuses on Going, it also features YouTubers who profess a fondness for Vegemite, including communitychannel, Hemeinc and Caitlin Hill [2]. The Age later responded by questioning A Current Affair's journalistic integrity,[10] while the YouTube community spun the ordeal into a meme.[11] February 2007 is the second month of the year. ...
