I apologize for all the stupid Americans, some of us aren't complete morons, hopefully I'm one of those exceptions...

Don't need to apologize. It just... stunted me.

I'm constantly amazed how little most people from the US know about Canada.

Have you ever seen Rick Mercer's "Talking to Americans"? It's a hoot. ;)

I love Rick Mercer in Made in Canada.
And I'm from the US.

This soooooooo make my point here.

i liked my experience before:

"a/s/l?"

me: "19/male/fortuna" (at the time)

"young blood huh? where is fortuna? sounds like food."

me: "california"

"isn't that over in asia somewhere?"

looked the person up, and they lived over in new york. kinda hard to take seriously, but....face paw^^'

What?!? I your own country? *LOL*

exactly XD lol

Well, that is the one where they speak that funny furrin language and put it on all the signs. ;)

*snickers* Tass right

I forgot what the percentage is, but a surprising number of Americans can't even find America on a world map

O.O This is a bit disturbing.

LOL!!! OK, if it doesn't have political lines it's harder to find where I live on a world map but I can still get close. And I'm talking city. Of course I live in Philly which is a port city right near Jersey so I have things a little easier than some....Plus I'm a hockey fan, thank you father for making sports abundantly available and having whatever home teams that were on broadcast on the television without missing many games. Just by following two local teams I know where a few places in North America are.

See? It's not hard. Add to that that Google map is your friend :-D

It's also a case when I was in school we were taught these things. But my parents sent me to a Catholic school so take that as you will.

Sooo not going on that slippery slope

And there are so many places to take that.

I would have been like: It's on Mars.

Oooh, I'll remember that one.

Wait what...

yup.

Kinda reminds me of my french persons problem ---> http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4244026

*exasperated groan*

heh...

Why must my country, nay my species, be cursed with such stupidity.

unnatural selection?

Easten Europe, totally Easten Europe! XD

With a little detour

I know the feeling man... X3

don't feel to bad dear. i watched a game show called "oblivious" i think it was called. and in it the host asked this girl "what 2 countries border the United states of america" she laughed and said "oh thats easy its Texas and Arizona"

<.< need i say more?

*facepalm*

yup... thats what i thought.

cette bd plus les commentaires me font sentir intélligent.

C'est bien, non?

voui, c'est très agréable. ¦3

C'est ca qui arrive quand on met juste une cartes des États Unis plutot qu'une mappemonde dans les cours de géo à l'école.

Bon point !

Many Americans think French-Canadians wear a beret, eat frog legs and snails and carry a pain-baguette under their arms.

While frenchies think we live in igloos

Actually I have met Canadians who say French Canadians swallow frogs.

I'm not surprised. They call us "frogs", which is like calling a black person the "n" word.

It surprised me when I heard it. I was working as a waiter in a restaurant and I got a table full of Canadian tourists. They were making all kind racist (froggist?) jokes and making fun of their accent. Then they noticed my accent and there was an awkward moment.

well actually American school never teach us much about other countrys, they usually just state the name and thats it.... and now in Arizona they are removing anythign from the school criteria that might insight thought on how better other country's might be

but yeah... i must also admit >< im guilty of the same thing in the comic

Google, my friend GOOGLE !

lol, good to know ^^ i should google it before i reply in that situation

Those are wise words...

wise ^^ *pounces and rolls with you*

That wasn't wise tho... pouncing a bear isn't a good idea except if you have something on your mind *grins*

maybe maybe not * snuggles* but i thought bears liked hugs ^^

Those too, of course.

*hugs and noms you tail*

... *facepalm* =>.<=
I can´t belived man!! xD
Man... the gringos are crazy. xD

Can't imagine what they'll think in a few centuries :P

I know it is a famous stereotype that Americans are supposed to be very ignorant on Geography (and indeed many are)
but personally I have found worse examples among other nationalities.

I have been to countries where "The world cannot be round as they say... people on the down half would fall off" is still an after dinner topic of conversation.

Also in Spain, all non-European people of Latin origin are called "South Americans", regardless of how far above the Equator their homeland may be.

Heh, sorry if I offended you. But everytime it happened to me, it was with Americans.

I'm not offended at all. I was just mentioning other examples I have heard around.

Basically, there is dumb people all over the universe.

All over the universe? Awww man, no alien invasion, please ! (just kidding)

but i dont know french.

Wut?

i like naked men

Now now, naughty coon...

heheh canadaland, our little retarted brother to the north (said by many a canadalander that i know)
I miss my lil bear... Should draw a pic of us again been so long

We're not retarded ! We're just timely challenged.

funny stuff!!also you look really cute in this

Wut? I don't look cute otherwise?

you look cute in every picture. i was just saying even more so *pets*

Awwww...

Honestly, the two things I know about Quebec is that seemingly lots of people in Ontario (especially out around London) make fun of "Dem Dar Koo-beckers" and that, at least, as was my experience... When I started babbling *very* badly broken french at them, suddenly the dock manager, and receiving clerk of this one place I went, went from saying they didn't understand English, to being perfectly fluent ;)

This might give (hopefully Thunderstep) someone giggles: "Non, Non Englais" Me: "babble babble" (I think I said something utterly wrong - he raised an eyebrow and looked much-less-happy) so that after a few moments of muttering under my breath "Uh... I know its in here somewhere... please don't get any more pissed off looking... c'mmon where is it?! *flip flip flip*" The first guy just said "Oh for fucks sake just use English already!" I must have looked utterly shocked, because he just about died laughing.

That and why do drivers from Quebec drive 50% more insane than drivers from Ontario, and 150% more insane than drivers from Saskatchewan? I never figured that out. On the freeway, the guy from Ontario will be going 120 (kph) ... 20 over, so begging for points. The guy from Saskatchewan will be going 85 (fifteen under..... arrgh!) BUT the guy from Quebec will be doing 190 and lane surfing... while giving the obvious American the finger for being in a "too slow" truck ;)

(Note: if you're an American, think a hard "Q" (like a pool que) and then Beck, like the singer. ... or if "The Good People" of Tron-Toe (kudos if anyone gets the joke) are to be believed, "Keh-BeC")

Oh, as a side note: if it wasn't for you guys trying to kinda almost but not really secede from Canada back when I was in Elementary school... I highly doubt our "wondrously high quality" Edificationization (Bush's words, not mine) system here in the US would have ever taught me much more than "Canada to the north, Mexico to the south."

I agree with the comment above-- next time just tell 'em yer from mars and see what happens ;)

The" no parler english" is that Canada is supposed to be a bilingual country, and in Quebec we spoke french. But no one tries to speak french. When you go to your corner drug store and the cashier tells you "sorry, no speak french", it's kinda ennerving. But at some point, we have to know english because some really don't know french at all. Yay for the not so really bilingual country !

I can see that. Personally, my opinion is "use the language of the land" -- which is why I tried my best to use french.
I still say that I can't believe someone wouldn't know Quebec wasn't in North America though. That's someone that needs smacked upside the head. Hard. ... with a blunt object.

Well... keep that blunt object close because I have two other comic about that and it's not getting better.

... you mean you'll let me use it? *huge puppydog eyes*
One Large, blunt object: 29.95
Pair of rubber gloves: 2.95
Tyvek suit: 19.95
Goggles (for back-spray): 18.95
Getting to use the blunt object: Priceless

*lol*

Some people deserve it.

lol Okay I'm kinda confuesed. Why were you shocked?

Because Quebec (a Canada's state) isn't in europe. I was surprised that a neighbor from downstairs wouldn't know were it is.

Ooooh okay.

My Ex was once asked where Oregon was. As in, 'I never heard of that Country, where is it?'

O.o

How can this happen? You're the only guys in North America that are predominantly Francophone...? You are still predominantly French speakers right? My knowledge of demographics is admittedly outdated.
Then again, we have Jeff Foxworthy with "Are you smarter then a fifth grader?"

Yes, we are... and yet. And we have a similar show too

Heh, stupid truely is epidemic in North America.

*sigh* unfortunately...

Hey, it could be worse. What do your stupid do to earn their daily wage?

Sad as it is, there's a large portion of Americans who don't even know where Washington D.C. is, our capital city. Honestly, it's a mix of uncaring parents, poor school administration which would rather lower the standards than fail a child and give them "low self esteem," and the general laziness of this country's population. Sad, but true.
