Sorry, I couldn't resist posting this as it sounded like she was daring a Brit to pass this on to you lot.

Three possibilities:

1. She is dumb enough to believe Americans speak this way.
2. She is dumb enough to talk this way.
3. She is dumb enough to believe this is humourous in some manner.

Colour me unimpressed.

Regards, Ivan

The Flag of Canada...before the trouble started.

Bump!

This sounds like a rant Maureen Dowd would scream if she ever had an orgasm.

[Brasky]

Good to see that our public school system is spilling over to our neighbors to the north. Like, you totally better, like, hand over all your lumber and natural gas, or the shizzle will hit the fizzle, my nizzle.

[Happygal]

And the National Post printed it. Jaysis!

[Eaker]

Great stuff Ivan!!!

This Wordsmith so totally put us in our place!

I just wish that I could let her know that this

is what it would look like if Canada really ticked us off!!!

Stay safe; stay armed.

[shezza]

Um, like, does Canada really, you know, think we even care what they think? As if!

[Eowyn-of-Rohan]

WHO IS THIS CHICK!! Lemme at her!

maybe we're pretty sick of hearing you guys all the time going, "Ooo, look at us, we're SOOO great because we're AMERICANS, oooo."

I am TOTALLY sick of hearing how WE think WE are great...I wish the rest of the world would Quit Projecting THEIR feelings onto US. Maybe some of our more prominent spokespeople project that arrogant, ignorant persona and attitude, but I would like to shake some sense into these sheep around the world who believe we think we are better than everyone else, or "cooler". Most of us are very aware of our cultural shortcomings and are NOT happy with the Calipornia [OOPS! sp!] culture being spread all over as representative of who we are and what we do...

But you better give us back OUR Avril Lavigne plus OUR Shania Twain

Take them back PLEASE!

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

not to mention our millions of acres of arable land, plus a seemingly endless fresh water supply, plus world-class marijuana, plus OIL, plus now DIAMONDS.

We'll see it and will raise you the world's most advanced health system and the world's best military. What do you have that you actually made not something given to you by mother nature?

Lisa Gabriele needs to stick to writing for the real estate section.

[ConservativeConvert]

This bitch is being facetious in like SUCH an annoying way. She can SO kiss my American ass.

[RWG]

You forgot one: she is dumb enough to be canadian.

[laredo44]

Probably want your Rich Little and Dan Ackroyd back as well. Fine, but we don't own them. They're free to return any time. Looks like they don't want to be with you. Wonder why? Noodle that and get with back with an answer, wudja?

The problem with Canucks like her -- they never had the guts to demand their independence. Take the following conversation...

Bart and Lisa (from the back seat): Are we there yet?>
Homer (driving): No.

Bart and Lisa: Are we there yet?>
Homer: No.

Bart and Lisa: Are we there yet?
Homer: No.

Replace Bart and Lisa (from the back seat) with Canada
Are we there yet? with Can we have our independence now? and
Homer (driving) with England and you'll begin to understand pacifist Canada.

[headsonpikes]

BUMP the Red Ensign!

The thread scarcely calls for a rejoinder.

[I_Love_My_Husband]

Well...I think it's cute! Uh, well, I'm, um, from the Valley. Really. So, like I did, um, understand what she was saying.

[sd-joe]

Actually, I think this is pretty funny.

It is parody, written in the language of a pre-teen Valley Girl.

It is not a hit at the US, it is a hit at the Canadians and their weird mix of attitudes and actions relative to Americans.

[TADSLOS]

Canada who?

[WaterDragon]

I've always been perplexed by people who say Americans walk around so proud to be Americans and this pi%%es them off.

Aren't other people proud to be their nationalities? Don't they feel their countries are really the best? There are Americans who live elsewhere because they prefer other countries. I assume people from other countries living in America prefer it here.

What's the big deal about this?

Long before America was a superpower people were migrating here in droves.
