I just got a new car last week and can't figure out half the features.

All new cars come with shit I do not need or want.

Which is why I keep the 20 year old ones I already have.

Back up cameras, DVD players, Bluetooth, places to put your Maxi Pad, GPS.

No use for any of that.
 

Canuck eh?

I hear the Maxi Pad option is popular in To***to.

Does yours have holes in the floorboards so you can use the "Flinstones" brakes ?

Americans have enough trouble identifying our own states. Asking them to name the Canadian provinces was never going to go well.... but it's funny!

The irony is that I think the majority of Canadians would likely label 40 of the 50 US states correctly (North Eastern states would likely cause the most difficulty - Of course, we have a huge advantage in that we receive all the US channels that provide gooder education).

That's universal though. Ask Americans who the president/prime minister/king is of any country and they'll maybe be able to give you one or two.

Putin and....hmm...Tony Bl...wait, scratch that. Saddam Huss....damn it, no good there either. Amonajihad [editor's note: intentionally misspelled for comedic effect]. Crap. Him too?

But virtually the entire world knows who Obama is. And most could probably name you at least a couple of Senators/Representatives and maybe even a few governors. Not to mention the Sarah Pahlins and Mitt Romneys who aren't even anything anymore.

The other thing I forgot to mention is when there is a big enough story in Canada for the American tv networks to carry, they usually show Canada as one big land mass on the graphic - How tough is it to show the provinces?

They're afraid of showing the wrong ones.

Fox News can't even get the south right.

Yep. The one labeled MO is actually Arkansas too.

What makes it so amusing is that these are really FNC's bread-and-butter states.
