I always chuckle at this stuff. I take it as a back-handed compliment (hey! they noticed us!). How Canadian of me. I understand a lot of the writers on these shows are Canadian, so the last laugh's probably on the Yanks (we stuck something Canadian in there and we got away with it!) My kids hate it when I laugh at the weird Canadian references in The Simpsons and South Park - they just see it as Americans dissing Canadians and they get so mad and they don't get it at all when I laugh at this stuff. It's so hard to explain this to them and I'm glad they're such little maple-leaf patriots and all. Maybe one day they'll understand; otherwise the Yanks are in a heap o' trouble from the next generation of fierce Canadians. The thing I don't understand is why the Canadians in South Park have those heads that are split in two, but then again, most of South Park doesn't make sense, and you always know who the Canadians are (like Kyle's adopted baby brother.) ===== Catherine Toronto ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
