Another gem from Overheard At Western
As some of you are aware, the university at which I work has it’s own unofficial blog (“Overheard at Western“). The point of the blog is to post funny comments overheard on or around campus. The funny part is that Western is supposed to be home to some of the smartest undergrads in the country. As the blog shows, that is not always the case.
To illustrate, here’s a little something that I think both The Clam and The Big Seester will appreciate:
Two girls are talking about Rick Mercer’s Talking to Americans:
Girl #1: That show is hilarious. I saw one where they asked Americans how they felt about Canada finally becoming a part of North America. Then they got them to fully congratulate Canada and stuff, on air!
Girl #2: Ugh, dumbass Americans. They’re all just so ignorant.
Girl #1: I know, like, what the hell?! Don’t they learn about North America in, like, grade 8 geography? I mean, hello, North America has TWO countries, people!!!
Girl #2: Yeah, seriously!
On days like these I’m glad that I work in a secure area that keeps most people (especially the stupid ones) locked out.
Argh. I think I need to go beat my head against a wall.

OK, but what I got really irritated abOOt is not that they completely dissed Mexico. What got me is that they are completely willing to judge 300 Million people based on the few morons Rick Mercer gets who have no clue. Obviously he’s not going to feature those of us who know a thing or two abOOt Canada. It’s funny for a reason.
What I love abOOt those shows is the politicians, who really ought to know better, and still don’t.
