Oh, Canada Wii's home and native land

The tags for this article are hilarious.

You're not my buddy, guy!
You're not my guy, buddy!

Yea honestly I understand the odd joke and all but this is just stupid. Show some f*cking respect because I too can start insulting the crap out of you Americans like this. That is pushing it way past funny, and no we are far from being too respectful for some BS like that.

As a Canadian, i'm too kind to say go f*ck your self.

(Ill do the same and say hope you don't take that seriously, because thats how I saw your post.)

@XGM

Get over yourself.

@xgm

As a fellow Canadian let me say...
Take off eh? Just a joke if that gets your panties in a bunch good luck in the real world.

@ vidikron
exactly

Why are there so many Canadians who can't take a joke?
Very sad that I live in the same country as these uptight people...

It's not about being oversensitive, or not being able to take a joke. Just about every Canada-centric post has the same tired slander. It would be nice to see Joystiq's so called writers take the higher road and prove they can post something clever without resorting to the old stand-by. Then again, I guess there's a reason they're writing for Joystiq and not a more critically acclaimed medium.

most people who think getting offended by this is stupid are americans. of course they say that cuz they r not talking about their country. i'm not canadian but i live here n it's annoying how so many times when canada is mentioned some stupid ignorant comment has 2 b made. as i said b4 coming from americans is normal since they think they can offend whoever they want just cuz they r fucking gringos. btw if u r american n get offended by my comment dont cuz u r all "too polite and respectful to get mad about this, right?" FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nah, Americans are just mad 'cause Canada burned the white house down. *whistles*

But these are the same people who believe they can really help a prince wire $19 million out of Kenya with their bank account.

At some point, we have to quit protecting the stupid. If people are dumb enough to believe these Canadian stereotypes, they're beyond any help. The only thing you can do then is try to overload them with misinformation like how the russians are building up an invasion force in Atlanta and Light Bu;bs run off Pixie Dust...

Sheepy,
I hate stupid people so I agree with your point of stop protecting the stupid but the stupid frustrate and tire me which is half the reason for my rant.

noting = nothing

Hey, Dragon...

Why so serious?

eh men to that man....... get it eh men EH lol. i'm canadian and spanish and that was very offensive. but we are not all about maple syrup and hockey. but thanks for offneding a few hundred people maybe thousands.

Its not that I'm so serious, its kinda like Mordennight said bellow.
I think ignorance promotes ignorance so someone who doesn't know better just believes what they read.

As a Canadian I have to say...

"you need to get a sense of humour eh."

OH get over yourself and get a sense of humor.

He apologized and quite obviously implied that it was a harmless joke. Plus, the Canadian stereotypes are so egregious that if anything, Kyle's playing on the stereotype that Americans know nothing about Canada. Get a sense of humor. What good are we if we can't learn to laugh at ourselves?

I'm Canadian and I didn't find it offensive.

I just found it to unoriginal and lacking humour.

Whaaaaaaa..? You mean there AREN'T polar bears wandering around outside in Canada and you DON'T have pet mooseys and live in igloos?

Well great buckets of bullshit! I dun did me some learnin' t'day!

Don't tell me what I should find offensive! God forbid you insult an American's patriotism without getting an earful! But if someone insults me, then I should just laugh about it!? I don't tell you what to defend so don't tell me how I should react to this trash!

Kyle Orland,
I know you're probably just kidding around, but I'm going to engage in a lengthy, humorless rant anyway. I am going to use way more words than necessary to illustrate my indignation, and I'll manage to shoehorn Alaska into my tirade, for no particular reason because Alaska is the only place in the whole wide world where Inuits build igloos.

meh, I don't really find it offensive. I do, however, find it strange that these stereotype still exist and people continue to get a kick out of them.

Besides, if our stereotype is that we like Hockey (I do), Maple Syrup (damn right I do), and live in an Igloo (Uh, no), than that's pretty good. Stupid? Yeah, but just roll your eyes and move on.

Boffo the Sock,
don't put words in my mouth, I never said Alaska is the only place with igloos, I said you can go enjoy your igloos because his implication was that Canada is the only place to find an igloo.

Dragon,

If anyone seriously took this post as THE TRUTH, then they have so little brain processing power, that they really aren't worth holding a conversation with.

BPMOmega, thats true. I'm just sick of hearing the same old bs.

Meh, I don't mind when I see an English guy on an american cartoon with gigantic teeth or sipping a cup of tea and talking in a tally-ho accent.

Then again, unlike Kyle Orland, I fear that the cartoonists actually think we're all like that.

As a Canadian, let me say that whether or not I enjoy or am offended by jibes at my country really depends on who is saying it, not what's said. It's funny when it's said by a Canadian comedian or even an American comedian who is also critical of his own country. But so much American media is fascist and arrogant that I feel they have no place criticizing another country.

It's kind of like: it's fine for a black guy to make fun of his own race, but it's offensive if a white guy in a KKK robe tells the same joke. Even if the KKK member is obviously making a joke, you know that deep down he still believes he's superior.

XDragon, if you never ever laughed at an anti American joke, made a snide comment about americans, or perpetuated an ignorant stereotype of Amricans, you have a leg to stand on. However, considering your own responses here, you have no leg to stand on. In fact, you're not only legless, but fuck man... your hypocrisy rides up to your chest, eroding away your core and making you resemble something close to a hideous malformed half-man Iga would feature in a Satanic Vietnam Hospital level for a Castlevania game.

In other words, shut the fuck up.

Sheppy (of the Fidlious Clan of Wong)
Just wow buddy! You're too cool for me!
And you know me so well to assume/decide how I carry myself! Big words for a complete waste of sperm! I guess the world keeps making better idiots!?

You know what, XDragon... keep living your dream world.

Because, facing facts, for every one anti-canada joke out there, there are 100 anti-Americans. I can't play a game online without someone spewing an American stereotype in my face and despite the fact that I defy every single one of them, I don't get upset. Because some are damn funny. Hell, I'm an American. By default I'm one of the most hated people on the fucking planet just because of where I was born. As I meet people from everywhere, because of the field I'm in, it's always hilarious to hear the various misconceptions about Americans. Each one funnier than the last.

Morale of this story? Drink a barrel of monkey spunk you unintelligent, self-righteous, hyprocritical, moose wanking, seal fucker, EH!

Who's defending who?
You assume a hell of a lot and you think your profanity makes you cool or superior. You're a joke and by the time you figure that out, it won't matter. Research a little more before you try to sound like a tough guy and don't try to tell people what they can think or say because who are you?...no one! Even in your replies you poke fun at Canadians when your argument is with me yet my replies are directly to you. I guess you're a big man in your own little world!

Just STFU, XDragon. Damn, the post was obviously a joke and not even all that offensive. Seriously, if you're this offended over something like this then you may as well log off the internet right now and never come back.

Vidikron (FU)
Ya, like its my fault I have to defend my opinion. Its not me thats not allowing people to have their say and even if people disagree with me, i'm not chasing them on their posts. Think a little if its not too much to ask!

You're entitled to your opinion, but the bottom line is that you are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too touchy. And posting that link to that Endgadget article in no way helps you. You come off as a pointless whiner over there too. I guess in your ideal world no one can crack jokes or celebrate victories. Good luck trying to make that a reality.

Hey XDragon.

What's hoser mean?

My mother's side of the family lives in BC but we don't get over there much.

And hoser is a cool word.

And I just want to make this reply chain longer.








Done

Three certain ways to lose an internet arguement.

1. Take bait. Doesn't matter if the comment was in jest and so hilariously disrespectful the only way to take it is a joke, get offended anyway. Stamp your feet like a moron, act a child, and snap at anyone who doesn't agree.

2. Belittle responses that use profanity despite your own use of bad words or blatant flames, such as calling one a waste of sperm.

3. Post irrelevant and off-topic news posts to back up your arguement. It's cool. All the popular kids are doing it. As an example, if someone calls you stupid and shallow, just tell them you feel sitcoms have declined since Seinfield left the air. It's not related at all, but hopefully the sheer stupidity found in such a response will divert all attention from the previous arguement. Oh look, a shiny coin, what were we talking about?

Trois certaines manières de perdre un argument d'Internet.

1. Amorce de prise. Doesn' ; la matière de t si le commentaire était pour rire et tellement hilare irrespectueux la seule manière de la prendre est une plaisanterie, obtiennent offensée de toute façon. Emboutissez vos pieds comme un débile, agissez un enfant, et cassez à n'importe qui qui doesn' ; t conviennent.

2. Dépréciez les réponses qui emploient le blasphème en dépit de votre propre utilisation de mauvais mots ou de flammes flagrantes, telles qu'appeler un un gaspillage de sperme.

3. Signalez les poteaux non pertinents et d'au loin-matière de nouvelles pour soutenir votre argument. It' ; s frais. Tous les enfants populaires le font. Comme exemple, si quelqu'un vous appelle stupide et peu profond, dites-juste leur que que vous des sitcom de sensation ont diminué depuis Seinfield avez laissé l'air. It' ; s non connexe du tout, mais si tout va bien la stupidité fine trouvée dans une telle réponse détournera toute l'attention de l'argument précédent. Oh regard, une pièce de monnaie brillante, de que parlions-nous ?

...you know, at some point you'll catch on. Let's hope it won't be before you run out of pea soup...
