Let's invade Canada!

[NoodlesNoodlesNoodles]

Actually, my picture above just now changed to that. "Hotlinking" eh? (and know I'm not Canadian, don't shoot! ) I'll have to see what you did above and use that from now on... just learned something new

Web server software can be told to swap a placeholder image in place of the originally intended image when someone hotlinks. The problem is: some sites will swap an obscene image. It's not uncommon for a site to swap the image for one that says "F**K YOU BANDWIDTH THIEF" or something equally embarrassing.

Here's a thread about it: Similar questions with Askville Amazon google connection disappear

And here are some less obscene samples:

Careful out there. It can be madness.

Wow, the joke thread turns into a nationalist peeing contest. Yes, the US has a more powerful military than Canada. We also have 270+ million more people than Canada does. Objectively Canada did not take part in the war of 1812 because Canada, as an independent state, did not exist until 1867. Any one that was from the colonies that make up modern Canada would have taken part in the War of 1812 as a British subject. In much the same way that American colonists that fought in the French & Indian wars did so as British subjects.

We need to fan the flames of war here... some good old fashion movie propaganda!

YouTube - Canadian bacon



Not much of a movie, but it had some great lines:

"Surrender pronto, or we'll level Toronto."

"We have ways of making you pronounce the letter 'O'"

"...And when have you heard anyone say, 'honey, let's stay in and order some 'Canadian' food...'"

"All I said was Canadian beer sucked..."

My favorite part of Canadian Bacon was this:

Fast Forward to 50 seconds in.

Dogfish Head. Stone. Weyerbacher. Bell. Anchor. Longhammer. Manchester.

I'm sure Canada has some craft beers... but I've never heard of them.

Ironically my favorite "non-special occasion" beer is Canadian, lol.

I've never heard of any of those, either. Neither America or Canada are really seen as countries you'd want to visit for their beer.

Now Belgium, on the other hand...

That was my point. Craft beers are usually brewed in small batches and distributed regionally, and advertise by word-of-mouth. They can do that because they're good enough that people will actually talk about them. Macrobreweries need to spend billions of dollars convincing people that their beer is any good, because it isn't. And unfortunately, it works, although I've never known anyone who tried a craft brew after years of drinking MillCoorWeiser beer-flavored water and did not decide they had been missing out.

But what that means is that the beers that have the most notoriety are not the ones with the most flavor, complexity, body, or ABV - they are the ones that spend ten dollars on ads for every one they spend on R&D.

Sometimes I think that Canadians can be equally as patriotic as Americans. It is only really the British who are derogative about their own nation!

 

[Riot Riot Riot]

What's this "Canadian bacon" stuff all aboot?

It tastes just like ham, eh?

You haven't read many of my posts, have you?

Of course in my case it's just because I'm a cranky individualist and don't really believe in the existence of nation-states in the first place.

 

[catzrfluffy]

Do we own that one?

 

[Blank123]

Do we own that one?

what, Canada? nope

 

[broken_one]

Technically they do, though.
