Exactly, which is the same as shoving a BigMac down their throats. I believe in cultural diversity and not assimilation.<span id='postcolor'>

That reminds me of a very popular beer ad campaign by Molson here in Canada, a few years ago. It was basically this guy giving a speech that dismissed American stereotypes about Canada, listed the ways we were different from Americans, and promoted Canadian national pride....plus it was funny as hell. Anyways, it was also shown in the States, and there were politicians who wanted it banned because they saw it as "Anti-American"!!

If you want to see a video of this ad, Go here, I  highly recommend it. Otherwise, here's the speech:

< clears throat >

Hey.

I'm not a lumberjack,

or a fur trader...

and I don't live in an igloo

or eat blubber, or own a dogsled...

and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada,

although I'm certain they're really, really nice.

I have a Prime Minister,

not a President.

I speak english and french,

NOT american.

and I pronouce it 'ABOUT',

NOT 'A BOOT'.

I can proudly sow my country's flag on my backpack.

I believe in peace keeping, NOT policing.

DIVERSITY, NOT assimilation,

AND THAT THE BEAVER IS A TRULY PROUD AND NOBLE ANIMAL.

A TOQUE IS A HAT,

A CHESTERFIELD IS A COUCH,

AND IT IS PRONOUCED 'ZED' NOT 'ZEE', 'ZED'!!!

CANADA IS THE SECOND LARGEST LANDMASS!

THE FIRST NATION OF HOCKEY!

AND THE BEST PART OF NORTH AMERICA!

MY NAME IS JOE!!

AND I AM CANADIAN!!!!!!!!<span id='postcolor'>

hhmm... a beer ad?

i wonder if whoever came up with it was drunk beyond belief.
