LOL, we should indeed use black swans for promotional purposes. I think it'd totally work.
It's weird, because I (like finding_jay said) think white swans are weird. I've only really seen black ones. They're awesome.
I think they chose the black swan because they're only native to us, making us rather special in that area. *is proud*
I fail epicly at history, but I'm pretty sure that the Swan River was, like, among the first places to even be named, because the people couldn't get over seeing black swans. Knowing them they prolly would have run around waving crucifixes and holy water in the air first. BLACK SWANS? WHAT IS THIS BLASPHEMY?! and such.
*drops macaroni cheese down her shirt* Well, fuck.
