No, actually it would be nice if they shut up for a long time. I've never seen such a mass of puling, whiny, provincial, self-righteous babies...perhaps this group is not only in agreement with the latter sentiments...but also feels that Canadians are a wholly OVERREPRESENTED group here in Seoul. I think there should be a limit to the number of Canadians that live in Seoul...they're really quite revolting...worse than people from Colorado by a long shot.
I say we build an enormous internment camp at the foot of our glorious statue of Douglas MacArthur where we can house Seoul's surplus Canadian vermin before they are deported back to their poo-smeared hovels. FIE UPON YOU CANADA, I THUMB MY NOSE AT THEE!!!! |
And sadly...his country is the most powerful one in the world....scary. |

| I believe that people in general are idiots. It's actually quite liberating when you can stop applying stereotypes to individual countries and races and just hold zero respect for virtually every single person you meet. Give it a try, my friends, and go *beep* yourselves. |

| Yes, but prior to April Fool's Day...make sure you believe everything you read on Dave's ESL, take it to heart as nothing less than a serious discourse spawned by people who truly and sincerely mean everything they type here and totally take this forum seriously and respect it as a meaningful exchange of ideas between Canadians and people who aren't stupid. |

| Yes, my pitch will be the famous American ploy, "at least I'm not as stupid as Bush". It will be a landslide victory. |

....at least the rest of the world doesn't want to...
blah blah blah...pretty much encompasses everything our virtually nonestistant neighbors to the north have to say about themselves, in comparison to Americans...we are something LESS than a footnoot in world history (with the exception of the Guess Who) which is why we have to constantly have to denigrate and fabricate about America. God could your long list of Canadian overshadowed nobodies be MORE of a footnote??? Not a chance.
My new pitchline for America is, "at leat we're not Canadians". Screw you guys. You started it. If it wasn't for all the foreigners on the glorious and victorious Detroit Red Wings I'd pretty much forget Russia and Canada exist all together. They came to our team because they were tired of eating oily penguin meat and making almost nothing for being nothing short of GODS!!!! Face it, the only reason the rest of the world knows you exist is because of your insistance that you are not Americans...although your almost indiscernable similarities and heritage would lead the rest of the world to believe otherwise.
Oh no, you couldn't leave well enough alone...you couldn't feel smart or informed unless you joined the moronic chorus of people saying bad stuff about the good ol' USA. I never had a problem with you idiots until I personally witnessed that you are more self-rightous and insecure than the most ignorant and uneducated (read: WORST) of Americans. Previously, I thought there is no end of goodwill betwixt Americans and penguin-eaters because we are damn near the same peoples 'cept goverment I reckon and in the end who gives a damn about that...got nothin' to do with the day to day reality of most people. You had to make a big deal of it, you couldn't leave well enough alone, could you??? (expletives that Dave, a mental defective and Canadian, would not allow posted on his profit-robot forum) mental-*beep* walrus-humping Cannucks just could'nt feel right about themselves without saying something bad about the country they're most ENVIOUS OF.
Now I hate Cannucks as indiscrimanantly as they hate me for no good reason. If you people came from a real country and actually existed I would say you SUCK and everything you stand for is POO. You can go to outer Mongolia and drink fermented horse excrement for all I care is how bad you are. Shame on all you!!!! YOU GO TO HELL AND DIE!!!! The next time I go into the Rocky Mountain Tavern it will be with an American Flag stapled to my forehead!!!!!!
Brought to you by Duvel and Chilean red wine, the beverages of temperance and neutrality. God bless the people Belgium and Chile, mainly because they are not greasy, smelly Canadians.
PS-Drunkness notwithstanding, you people are bug excrement. According to jazz snobs and sycophants alike, Miles Davis is the ultimate cool and Canada is just bug excrement. Actually, Clifton Chenille is the ultimate cool.
Mods, if you delete my post or redact it in any way shape or form it just proves you are in fact, Canadians...which proves all of the above.

Yeah I saw it on Jay Leno too. And yet another layer of the irony onion is peeled away - he didn't use it as an opportunity to bash Canada. Maybe that's why your number 5 or 7 or 12 or ...  |

I'm from Canada and must insist that he is on to something. The Canadians who come to Seoul are the most SMUG idiots I have every had the displeasure of meeting. Canucks are crazy-smug to begin with, but the bunch here are just incredible.
Being Smug is the principle Canadian trait. That and insecure that the nation doesn't matter. I have been told by more than a few people that Canadians are held in lowish regard here.
Anyhow, the whole thing was a big joke (and the joke was on the Canadians who freaked out). Start deleting your posts, girls.

Last month, the Korea Herald ran a short piece on a local club that was organized as a sort of multi-cultural social group that invited people from any and all nationalities across the globe. But�� Canadians were singled out as personae non grata at their get-togethers. The KH article created quite a stir among the international community here in Korea with several bloggers commentating on it; the KH even had to run a short follow-up to explain that the hate mail should not be targeting them, but rather, the group organizers themselves.
It was quite the bellylaugh and all, but something seemed a bit off about it. I had the sneaking suspicion that someone was pulling our collective leg with this story of the hated Canuck. Well, as it turns out, my suspicion was on the mark. Here's the true story��
The truth was revealed to me by a (Canadian) friend who was, in fact, the "Bernard Carlton" mentioned in the original KH piece. According to him, the real organizer of the club was a (Canadian) friend of his, a person I've met a few times. He came up with the idea as a joke while chatting with friends over drinks at the Three Alley Pub in Itaewon. He scribbled out the ad and decided to send it in to KScene for shits and giggles.
Once placed, it received some attention, but not a lot, probably reflecting the magazine's less than stellar readership numbers. He got the occasional nasty email from Canadians with their cold noses bent out of shape, as well as a email or two from non-Canadians who happened to agree with his assessment. I saw some of these message myself and I must say, a few Canadians were pissed.
It was at this point that my friend got involved. He was given access to the email account used to set up the club and began responding to some of the complaints in his Maple Leaf-hating Bernard guise. He had a back-and-forth with one woman in particular that wouldn't end until he finally told her it was just a big, fat joke designed to poke some fun at thin-skinned Canadians.
Apparently, this woman reported on their email to the Herald reporter (priot to hearing it was done in jest), whose writing gave the impression that they had actually done some sort of sit-down interview with Bernard "Canadians are scum" Carlton. And once the Herald printed the story, it exploded. The bogus email address that the ad gave was inundated with messages of furious anger from Canadians living locally, many of whom made it a point to clarify that Canadians are not actually "self-loving, welfare supporting, over taxing, work ethic hating scum." Glad we got that cleared up.
So, the mastermind of this little gag is Canadian, and his lackey was also Canadian. It was supposed to be a silly joke that went no further than the KScene magazine, but the dilligence of a one KH reporter broke it wide open, resulting in the hurt feelings of many Canadian-flag-patch-on-the-backpack Canadians.
On a final note, while discussing this hoax with "Mr. Carlton" and some other Canadian friends, I let slip a joke about Canada (something to do with polar bears, I think). One of the guys took exception and corrected my misconception ("I assure you that there are no polar bears in Tonronto or any other major Canadian metropolis"). "Mr. Carlton" made clear that this was *exactly* the sort of hyper-sensitivity they had in mind when the ad was made. |
