Well, as near as I can tell (New Zealanders chime in here, since you'd know), both Australia and New Zealand are considered part of "Oceania" which isn't technically a continent, but a "macrogeographic region".
*shrug*
Dunno how to score all of this for marketing purposes here, heh.

Speaking of Marketing,
If you don't think New Zealand and Aussieland count as two continents, for marketing purposes
I'm counting them that way (I'll throw in a 4? mark).
I'm sure the Aussie's think of themselves as being on their own continent...so therefore New Zealand must be on another one, right??? What do you mean thinking doesn't count?
For marketing purposes, here is an idea
So maybe someone should go start an argument on a geography website...and spread the word about the Serenity Screenings.
USA, Canada, Scotland, England, Aussieland and New Zealand. June 2006 Serenity Charity Screenings in how many continents?
One? Two? Three? Four?
Be sure to mention it's for charity and link to the press release http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/4/prweb376866.htm
and the website http://www.cantstoptheserenity.com

Unfortunately New Zealand is about the size of a postage stamp 
so it does not count as it's own continent (unlike Australia). It is however, full of wonderful intelligent Kiwis (NZers) who love Firefly so I hope that we get a Serenity screening.

Australia is an island. In fact the biggest I think, or is that Greenland, can never remember...
Anyway New Zealand is a country as is the USA and Canada... wait am I taking this way too seriously....
A continent is a land divided by countries, such as Africa. One large continent with many countries within: Ghana, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Sudan, Morrocco etc
I am taking this way to seriously aren't I ?

Unless the official count has changed since I was in school, there are seven continents. In no particular order, they are:
North America
South America
East America... no, wait, that's wrong...
Europe
Africa
Asia
Australia (a continent with only one country on it)
Antarctica (a continent with no countries on it)
Clearly we have screenings on at least two continents, N.A. and Oz.
Now, strictly speaking, any body of land that's not a continent is "just" an island. That includes Greenland, Iceland, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, the various islands of Japan, and so on. However, due to proximity and shared history, the British Isles are often considered to be a part of Europe. By the same argument, New Zealand could be lumped with Australia, Madagascar with Africa, Japan with Asia, etc.
So, depending on how you want to classify those islands, it's either two continents and two islands, three continents and one island, or just three continents.
Four is right out.

I don't disagree on any particular point.
