On behalf of Canadians everywhere I'd like to offer an apology to the United States of America. We haven't been getting along very well recently and for that, I am truly sorry.
I'm sorry we called George Bush a moron. He is a moron but, it wasn't nice of us to point it out. If it's any consolation, the fact that he's a moron shouldn't reflect poorly on the people of America. After all it's not like you actually elected him.
I'm sorry about our softwood lumber. Just because we have more trees than you doesn't give us the right to sell you lumber that's cheaper and better than your own.
I'm sorry we beat you in Olympic hockey. In our defense I guess our excuse would be that our team was much, much, much, much better than yours.
I'm sorry we burnt down your white house during the war of 1812. I notice you've rebuilt it! It's Very Nice.
I'm sorry about your beer. I know we had nothing to do with your beer but, we Feel your Pain.
I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean, when you're going up against a crazed dictator, you wanna' have your friends by your side. I realize it took more than two years before you guys pitched in against Hitler, but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons.
And finally on behalf of all Canadians, I'm sorry that we're constantly apologizing for things in a passive-aggressive way which is really a thinly veiled criticism. I sincerely hope that you're not upset over this. We've seen what you do to countries you get upset with.

well, if we look at recent events (outsourcing torture to Syria, to name just one example), we could be tempted to conclude that there is an ongoing shift from "innocent until proven guilty" to "guilty until proven innocent"...
What happens in those asian countries generally fingered as being lax on piracy, and where you can buy pirated CDs for cents on the dollar? (ok it's not P2P MP3 sharing, but it's just as bad in terms of corporate profit loss)
You're a Chef, being pursued by hotdogs, eggs and pickles. You can spray pepper on them to stun them temporarily (pepper spray makes sense today, but back then it didnt, but kinda since the name of the Chef was Peter Pepper, which I always thought was a word play on "peter puffer").
His job is to walk on parts of hamburgers, buns, beef patties, lettuce leaves and sometimes tomato slices and cheese slices, in order to put them together, while trying his best to catch falling icecream cones, french fries and cups of coffee!

Sorry. My bad. If i could edit my post I would!
It does sound like Rick Mercer though, given his "Talking to Americans" series, which is hilarious in its own right.

and when we get there we'll find them rednecked martians with our rovers up on blocks.

I call for a global boycott of non-indie music for a month.
We shall call it, the "Buy No Music Month".
Lets show them this agression will not stand. This will not stand, man.
Jet-powered space skis.
well, maybe not "space" skis, but regular flying skis will do.
thanks
Can I play one of the Bush twins?
time to run and sell my SCO shares! ;-)

And I bet he'll frame that page of his income tax return!
I'd love to see the look on the face of the IRS clerk when s/he looks at that line.

So, crime pays, but only mostly for lawyers?
"They are selling MY information which is deamed to have value so why am I not legally entitled to my cut of the profits?"
I think there's a law in the US that prevents perpetrators from benefiting in any way from the crime(s) they commit...
after all, spam WAS started by a couple of them...

Do they still have artists? How do they survive?
yea but I used the undefined plural in the word "piles"... let your imagination run wild!
No hurry indeed.
Not only do I lack the time to watch TV, I dont have the time to watch the shows I download!
I've got a piles of CDRs that are THIS HIGH, waiting to be watched.
Feels like I'm starting to have a mindless collection habit, like those people who collect beer bottle caps or something.
gf: LIKEOMGWTF!!!!11
me: but it's the thought that counts, right?
this felt like reading a The Complete Idiot's Guide to...
Here's a quick summary:
Choose Mandrake, Fedora or Suse.
Backup everything.
Download, burn isos and install Linux
List of hardware websites for drivers
Goodbye Windows.
Slashdotters are laughing now, but just wait until the RIAA/MPAA take a cue from AOL and start liquidating pirates assets...
(Well, at least, if more actors are caught "lending" their preview copies of movies, we could end up with some pretty nice lottery items.)
the part that least made sense in that game was when the frog tried to cross a river by jumping on logs and other floaters...
why would a frog die from falling in the water? (unless that river was very polluted, but that's just a wild assumption)
why can't I have access to ALL the tv channels in the world?
global village my arse.

the moon has two downsides :
regolith (moondust), which gets into everything and makes it unusable and/or dangerous
less gravity than Mars
