Prime Minister’s video offends Irish people and freaks everyone out.
Australian prime minister Tony Abbott recorded a special message for St. Patrick's Day. Unfortunately, it's being slammed in the Irish media as "patronising" and "awkward".
An Irish businessman told the Irish Times he hoped a video designed for a business function would have more of a business-focused message.
“There are so many good stories of Irish people in business in Australia, Mr Abbott’s lack of awareness of any of that is astonishing,” he said.
There were some pretty sweeping generalisations and Irish stereotypes in there, but also some moments that were straight-up bizarre.
When he very lightly touched his own fingertips.

When he made a joke about how much he hates the environment.
LOL climate change!
