Some time last week, most probably due to some pathological need eprops, infamous attention-whore Theologianscafe made a case for why Canada sucks, citing my rant on the Olympics and the shoddy job NBC commentators did. I would have answered sooner, but you know... better things to do than entertaining the cyber jollies of some jingoist blogger. I'm not into stupid US vs Canada debates either because I like most North Americans in general but... For the sake of argument, I felt it necessary to stand up for myself, as a confused-at-random-attacks-of-character Canadian.
Anyway, he spoke of healthcare, and other silly examples, but mostly he focused on how I was watching the Olympics on an American network because supposedly there are not TV chains here that broadcast the Olympics, which automatically lead to the assumption that Canada MUST suck. Barring the fact that this is false, I also thought about how Dan was probably watching TV on an American network too. And then it occured to me;
I wonder how his Olympic viewing would have gone, without television cameras.
Or without instant replays.
Of if he hadn't known at what time to watch his favorite events, because of the timezone difference.
Mostly, I wondered about how, without Canada, would he have been able to post his ridiculous rhetoric at all?
Cuz you know television cameras, instant replays, standard time and the infamous 56k modems pioneered internet surfing as we know it...?
Those are all sucky Canadian inventions. Just like basketball, hockey, peanut butter, electric wheelchairs (for all your obese people, America!), and IMAX too.
But hey, it's ok.
If to suck means inventing awesome revolutionary stuff that allows everyone in the world to enjoy the Olympics... I think I speak for all my countrymen when I say I'd much rather suck than blow, like Dan does.
But don't worry Dan. Luckily, we also invented the garbage bag to deal with all your crap.
Cheers, eh.

ooooooh shit just got real, eh
Dan responds with a moose head in bed.
Your move, Liz.
OH SNAP!
THIS IS GONNA BE POPCORN WORTHY!
Usually I'd say "NO! DON'T FEED THE TROLLS!" but your closing sealed the deal on a solid burn, so I have to give you props. Haha!
@Lost_In_Reverie - I KNOW lol... I so rarely indulge in Internet arguing hahaha
He's a dick. I stopped reading his crap years ago, so I missed his attack on Canada.
Thanks for putting him in his place.
*slow clap, increasing to regular clap, increasing to thunderous applause*
Bravo!
10000000 props to this girl right here!!! You go girl!
I thought peanut butter was invented by George Washington Carver in America? No? Hmm...
I never read Theologian cafe's blog. He is a jerk and a asshole. And what is wrong with our healthcare? At least people here won't get bankrupt when they get sick.
Poutine, Molson, Canadian bacon, . . . the list is just endless. The Habs!
@nimbusthedragon - Because it's not worth it, as I have tried to keep reminding myself in the wake of the Chick-Fil-A debacle. Some people refuse to educate themselves on all the aspects of an issue, and even if you do manage to win the argument, winning an argument on the internet is like winning the Special Olympics.
Even if you win, you're still retarded.
And now that I have offended everybody, PEACE! Hahaha
He is not my favorite he is the king of Xanga drama he sure likes to incite crapolla
i thought everyone on Xanga liked him, i'm so glad i came across this though because he is so stupid.
Well put!
I like Canada and Canadians and your athletes are Great!!!!
@THE_SANDBOX - nope - it was a Canadian but George Washington Carver gets the credit most of the time because he invented more than 300 peanut things like dyes and stains.
I didn't know that those were Canadian inventions! Usually I direct my "Who invented these?" questions to food. Because, you know, food is important (like tofu and smoked salmon and rice and kimchi and stuff). So it was nice to learn that tidbit about peanut butter. Learn something new every day!
Personally I'm wondering what in the world is NBC's big deal. Why are they delaying the Olympics broadcast? Did they coerce the other broadcasting stations into signing a contract to not cover the Olympics? I hate how I have to go for news channels from other countries in order to get the live Olympics.
You go Liz. Someone's gotta keep one of those "xangalebrities" from getting such a big head from time to time. I know that wasn't your original intention, but I do admire your guts.
<3 Canada!
Awe, I was just kidding with you. I really like you and think you are a nice person. I was just joking around and would never do anything to hurt you.
I'm yours! TAKE ME!!!!!
Gosh.
