Its funny, why does George Bush get pi**ed of when the Canadian military doesn't want to aid in war with them. It must mean our presence is important. A little childish on your behalf. The Canadian Military Rocks.

that is funny. the only reason we use American politics, is because we follow the American election closer then our own. No hard feelings America... take it as a compliment.

Another Al Gore Kool-aid drinker. First off, you still drill for oil, which means CANADA puts out more pollution than we do, since DEMOCRAT TREE HUGGERS won't let us drill for our own.

Umm, Obama and Chris Dodd seem to be the ones who profited from our 'dunderheaded president's' de-regulation of the free-market. It's funny how the CEO's of Fannie and Freddie are both Democrats...

Abortions are still leagal in the US.

All this coming from a country who almost let a bunch of cheese-eating-surrender-monkeys (the French) almost overrun your country. Your whole statement makes me laugh.

There's an even bigger picture here (than that 52" inch HD LCD TV) and that's people actually caring about what Canada has to say.

I kid the Canuks, at any rate, here's a joke a Canadian friend told me about Americans:

Q: How could they tell that the Sojouner Mars rover was sent by Americans?

Maybe Canada is still pissed off at us for accidentally killing their troops in Afghanistan. Or maybe it's the anti-Canadian sentiment that flows in a neverending stream northward. Or maybe Canada is irked at the freeloading old-fart Americans who raid their pharmacies because medicine Stateside is too expensive. Or maybe their pissed off at the pollution that our country generates that Canada has to put up with. Or maybe Canada doesn't feel like dealing with a dunderheaded President anymore. Or maybe Canada is afraid of an influx of pregnant women seeking abortions if the GOP wins in November. Or maybe they're irked because Republican led deregulation of the markets has caused a global economic meltdown.

I think it's pretty safe to say that Canada has any number of reasons to not be too pro-America.

OMG! Ponies!

@youngjjohnson:
Canada? That land mass above the US? I thought that was Northern Mexico...

A little harmless poke from a company I didn't even know was from Canada. Meh.

Besides, I think you're reading into it too much. As a Canadian, that image feels directed more at politics in general, not specifically American politics. I will say our candidates don't tend to wrap themselves up in flags very often, hence why an American flag was used here, instead of the maple leaf.

I don't mind Canadians making fun of us and vice versa. What bugs me is that there are a number of Canadians and Europeans who genuinely hate Americans and treat us all like we are each a clone of George W. Like the guy I saw in a Chili's restaurant in Calgary wearing a shirt that said "Yanks Go Home". Just idiotic. Dude, you're eating in an American restaurant chain for one thing. Anyway, it's become somewhat of a fad to hate Americans lately. But these folks need tokeep in mind that America is huge and extremely diverse, and many of us have a balanced view of the world and a decent head on our shoulders, unlike our monkey-faced president, who many of us have been waiting EIGHT LONG YEARS to replace.

Come on, let us make at least ONE joke about American politics. You elected Bush. Twice. And the second time he had just wrapped your country in the idea that you were under attack by "terrorists".

You have the right to criticize your country it's in the Bill of Rights why in the hell would you get all cowardly and defensive if someone else criticizes it for you?

American culture has over saturated everything more movies are about an American president than Canadian why the hell wouldn't this be an obvious ad?

Freedom of expression and freedom of opinion are corenerstones of America and ANY American that tries to force his or her values upon you or convert you or disrespect you for your beliefs is as Anti-American as the Islamist Terrorists because that is exactly what they do in their country and it is exactly what we are supposed to be fighting against.

Perfect! Truth is truth, no matter how painful. @unibrow4o9:

@Squard: Partially wrong.

The field of stars is to be displayed on the left unless the flag is hanging in a window, in which case, the flag is to be hung so that when viewed from outside, the field of stars is on the left.

Additionally, on vehicles, the field of stars is on the right when displayed on the passenger side.

And we Americans have no real standing to bitch about improper displays of the flag. You're also not supposed to put it on articles of clothes like hats or jackets as it trivializes the flag. If you want to complain about the flag being disrespected, start with "country" musicians' obsession with wearing t-shirts, leather jackets, and cowboys hats with the flag on it.

Honestly, for a country that prides itself on toughness and not caring what the rest of the world thinks, we are a lot of touchy oversensitive pussies.

OMG! Ponies!

Canadia doesn't need an army because they have us to protect them, as does the rest of the free world.

@ALT: "so you are clearly a maniac."

Being against the killing of babies makes one a maniac? Do you people even listen to yourselves? Was it sane for Obama to vote three times to deny medical care for viable babies born alive despite the effort to kill them?

@redman042: "unlike our monkey-faced president, who many of us have been waiting EIGHT LONG YEARS to replace."

At least you're unbiased, and respectful of the leader of the free world. You're going to love McCain, too. And Palin after him, and Jindal after her. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

@generall: "The buzzword of this election is "green"."

The buzzword of this election is "Palin."

@tisfortorrey: "no TV is going to make Sarah Palin look experienced or less crazy."

Of course not, the TVs are already too busy trying and failing to do that for Obama. It's OK though, Sarah's just fine the way she is.

@gothamdarkknight: "Funny you say that... I personally think Obama also looks like a monkey..."

But that, that's...THAT'S RACISM!!!

@Rodime: "running two politically conservative [candidates]"

Which of our two countries are you so blatantly wrong about?

@ericrwalker: "Obama=Socialism (tax the shit out of people who work for a living and give it to the ones that don't)

@strider_mt2k:
Improper display is, by definition, not an accepted form of proper flag etiquette. As such, there aren't many sources that will tell you what it means when someone displays a US flag in such a manner, except that they don't know how to properly display it. BTW, flying it upside-down on a ship in distress _IS_ an accepted form of proper flag etiquette, and it's probably more common knowledge than when the blue field should actually be visible on the right instead of the left. What's much less common knowledge is that flying it upside-down to signal distress is not restricted to use on ships. It's just that with the advent of phone technology (particularly cel-phone technology), it's become pretty rare that one would need to do this to signal distress from a building. You know, unless you're being held hostage, and you somehow manage to get free long enough to flip the flag over, but can't manage something more effective.

@OMG! Ponies!:
You missed one. When a flag is flown over a street (where it's visible from both sides), the blue field should be located to the north (E/W street) or east (N/S street). I'm not sure which way it's supposed to be flown over a street that runs due SW/NE, as one orientation would have it located more northward, and the other would have it located more eastward.

@jonny6pak:
Bashing US politics across the globe is so prevalent because, in many cases, US politics has as much or more influence on their lives than their own national politics. Partly they do it out of jealousy (wishing their own national politics mattered to anyone but themselves and, possibly, their immediate neighbors), and partly they do it out of frustration over the fact that we can hold greater sway over their lives than they do, especially if we don't even know who they are.

BTW, its funny and accurate. Also universal - nearly every politician is BS...

I used to poke fun about Canadians and how they talked etc...

Now I am married to a Canadian girl, I am scared of my country dying, and I want to move to Canada.

Things sure have changed since I was a young kid.

This is not cool. We have to be nice to Americans. We need them to come in Canada before all there fat asses cause the north American tectonic plate to flip over!

They're really behind the times. Everybody else on the planet started hating America years ago.

Canada is clearly better than the US now in almost every way.
