Interesting to see that in the US the cult of personality, if not narcissism, is alive and well while just across the border the list centers on events and sports/entertainment in general.

I think as an American(who has Canadian roots,also) this is very embarassing!! The finer arts are obviously dead in this country!

I must be Candian because I love the NHL and Rockstar: Supernova. Oh and don't get me started about Neopets, I'll never shut up.

Interesting how both the WWE and Jessica Simpson show up for both Canadians and Americans. You think there's something to them after all?

I'm gonna spank you!

O.K., I'll be the one to open the floodgates...what the heck are neopets?

LOL...I have no clue what a Neopet is and I have no idea who Chris Brown is either...Is she a Playboy bunny or something?

Well in keeping with the theme of the thread, I did a Yahoo! search.

Oh cool. They are sorta like the hunter class pets in World of Warcraft. My hunter Eightgiovo has a spotted white panther named Audrey. Boy, does she like the Darkshore Groupers.

Chris Brown is a rap/R&B artist here in America. I'm surprised that you didn't know that. I figured everyone knew that.

LOL...yeah I know. I looked it up after I posted it. It was just that all the others on the list were buxom blondes I figured Chris Brown must be too...

And in English that would mean?

Actually, the list proves that Canadians really ARE more boring.

But what the hell, we can f**k like minks, so who really cares.

Maybe this will help 'splain.

South Park: World of Warcraft

Woo-hoo! My Nova Scotia roots really do mean something!

I told ya cuz, how else do you think we keep warm up here during the cold winter months.

I can't believe it...something more silly than pet rocks. Wow.

Yup

There's nothing hotter than steaming up the windows when it's -20 outside. (or any other temperature for that matter).

well since my furnace conked out this morning I may need to prove that theory!

not to be confused with the Titans RB
