Am I the only one who saw this
CNN.com article about the "Go Canadian" package being offered by
T-ShirtKing.com?
If you haven't read it or heard about it, check it out. I'm not leaving North America any time soon, but I think I'm gonna have to get one anyway. Talk about a stroke of marketing genius!
i heard about this on the radio on the way home today, laughed my ass off :lol:.
Sad...
They do ship to Canada, I guess thats a good thing.
I got pointed to this on another forum... Funny stuff... I´d never heard of it before, but apparently it´s pretty common...
That's funny! :mrgreen:
But how does someone from, say, Boston or Texas or Alabama get away with this with the kind of accents they have? :lol: :lol:
I don't find is as amusing as most of you, but I take it as a compliment on how every other country in the world respects us.
No i had about 15 friends email me that link yesterday. And I agree it is a very nice compliment. Finally.
Made front page of the Vancouver Sun today...
Read about this in the Dutch newspaper today too....

You should. People like bumping into Canadians. I lived in Amsterdam for a couple of years and there's bunches of tourists there. I've seen my fair share of annoying tourists but not once was there a Canadian amongst any of them. Ive never read about Canadians causing any problems here either.

That's because all those people were actually Americans pretending to be Canadians, and acting extra-polite.
All the Canadians you've met have actually been wearing big American flag sweatshirts, and being ultra-obnoxious. That's how Americans earned that "ugly American" stereotype -- Canadians taking a vacation from being polite and deferential.
Fronted the Ottawa Sun too.

Hey... I was just reading the Colby Cosh web blog where he talks about this... and you know what? He's right... they ARE spelling O Canada like it was an Irish surname... dumbasses! :rambo: Look closely at the original website again, and you'll see he's right!
Here's the link to his comments about this whole thing... he does have an interesting take on it.
