From my
Americanized point of view, the commercial transcribed above implies that Canadians think all Americans are
unculturalized idiots, and since it was already mentioned that many Canadians actually
like and
agree with this
rant, it can thus be deduced that Canadians are a bunch of mindless followers who enjoy stereotyping a large number of people.
Go Canada!
I know this is not true. I hope to God that my fellow Americans also realize that such commercialized whoring of a nation's patriotism (or absence thereof) has little or nothing to do with that country's actual ideas and people. Unfortunatley, there are certain Americans whose thoughts on the Canadian culture are perfectly portrayed in that advertisement. The ironic thing is that for every Canadian who thinks Americans are uneducated fools, there is an American who thinks that Canadians live in igloos, eat blubber, etc.
This is what happens when we allow our countries to define ourselves. People are so ignorant to the varieties of cultures and customs exisiting in our world. Even some of those who are englightened to such wealth falsely believe that it is a nation that defines its people, not vice versa, and they subscribe to various stereotypes.
Please don't get your culture from television.
Why should I even care? Geez, it is only a beer commercial...
