More recent example as a DVD called 'The Secret'which was a self-help new age pile of claptrap that became popular and made a local woman a lot of money a year or two ago.
She took a US produced video called 'The Law of Attraction' and put a snazzy front end on it that claimed (but failed to substantiate) all these people have been trying over the ages to hide this secret from the world. Once that's done, it's into the US production with all american presenters. Every now and then they splice in an Aussie guy giving his 'real life' experiences. Local content? The 15 min of WANK intro plus a total of 6 mins chopped through it. (sigh)
An amusing digression, I googled the names of the presenters... without fail, every one of them is a wealthy person who made their money not in some honest profession but on the wealth creation speaking circuit :)
