[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] *ahem*. It's "Blame Canada", not "Flame Canada". The movie isn't a bout a load of people writing bad posts on Canadian newsgroups. Is it me, or are most countries in the world simply incapable of laughing at themselves? The British have for years had to put up with amazingly wrong cultural stereotypes from US TV, everyone from Mr Chumbley-Warner "Good day to you sir. i wear a bowler hat. therefore I am British", to cockney cab drivers "Guv'nr, I wear a flat cap guv'nr, coo, isn't London foggy. Strange, cause it's always foggy on TV, and rarely foggy in real life", and we don't kick up a fuss and boycott US TV. We just grin and bear it, and sip our tea, smug in our own sense of superiority and confident that no-one has ever battered Monty Python, not even us. If you watched the movie anyway, you'd see the whole things about intolerance, and about the fact that people never want to address the root of the problem, but instead want to find scapegoats. Some kids go to see a Canadian movie and come out swearing? Bomb Canada, rather than trying to understand what the kids are thinking. Some kids go and shoot up a high-school? Blame everything from guns to the internet, to TV, to the amount of sugar they eat daily. Just try not to be so much up yer own arse, okay? Are you going to say that if they nominated Uncle Fucker (whcih they should have, but didn't have the balls to), it would be legitimising Fucking of Uncles? Besides, it's a brilliant song. Although for me, not as good as "It's easy, m'kay". And remember, "When Canada is dead and gone, they'll be no more Celeni Dion". [/QB][/QUOTE]
