Rant. Sorry.

I'm in significant amounts of pain today, and athough I am afraid this post will turn into the flood of non-sensical and violent gibberish mentruation inspires, I haven't posted in awhile, and Kate's getting antsy. With that said, let us turn to the object of today's scorn: here.

"ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - An American T-shirt company has a solution for fellow citizens who want to vacation in Europe without having to answer questions about U.S. politics: pose as Canadians."

Now, call me simple or call me blind....but wouldn't it be simpler for them to de-asshole themselves instead of pretending to be someone else? I mean, I realise that America is a country, and in America there are people that don't agree with the politics of their country. I don't hate Americans, I know some great people from there. However, I definately do not agree with the concept of America. Assimilation is not okay. Bush is not okay. Texas is NOT okay. Pretending to be Canadian one day, and going back to the States and putting your KKK outfit back on after your vacation is not okay either.

And what happens when assholes start parading in Europe as Canadians? I mean, who is going to buy this package? The assholes of America, not the nice people. So when they go to Europe and start acting like assholes, Canadia takes the blame? Great present, thanks, love the defamation of our country's character. Couldn't you just have opened up the border for our cattle, instead?

If you're American, and don't want politics while you are on vacation...wouldn't it be simpler to say "I don't follow politics" or "I don't want to talk about politics on my vacation" rather than pretend to be someone you're not?

And Toronto is NOT reffered to as Hogtown, although we do sometimes refer to it as the T dot O. Neither is Calgary referred to as Cowtown for Christs sake. They Have names for a reason, we have a tendency to use them.
