    Very light on the humour.

    In fact I can't see it from here. But I'm sure it exists.

    This is not intended to cause any offense to myself so please accept my appologies if I am offended.

    Hallo,

    I don't work for an American, French, or German company.
    I don't eat French Fries every day, nor Belgian waffles.
    I don't know The Smurfs, Lucky Luke, or Asterix,
    Although I'm pretty sure they do really exist.

    I drink beer, not wine. And I don't like mussels with my beer.
    And I do believe participating is more important than winning.
    And I'm not shy , just modest.
    And it's BELGIAN fries, not FRENCH.

    I can proudly fly my country's flag out of my car because no-one knows where the hell Belgium is.
    The Muscles from Brussels can kick Jet Li's ass anyday.
    And it's BELGIAN fries, not FRENCH.
    Belgium is the smallest country in Europe
    and the only one that any other country can win from.
    Even steal our fries...

    My name is Negative! AND I AM BELGIAN!!!

    Talking

    Why negitive points at all their just some jokes. If you cann`t laugh at yourselves then your taking life to serious.Theres enough bs outthere don`t let a little humor bog you down. I think they were funny because I can see humor in lifes little jokes.
    No good deed goes unpunished.

    Origins ...

    Actually, the origin of the part about Canadians is very commercial ... it's from a Molson Canadian ad. You can still find it on adcritic.com ... oops, you can't anymore. I just found out that AdCritic has kicked the bucket. Darn!

    Anyway, the ad was all about a Canadian guy getting up on a stage and proudly speaking of his country. It ends with a shot of a nice, cold glass of Molson Canadian being poured.

    A radiostation made a good rip-off on it about being Quebecois ... and how it's ok to celebrate your wedding anniversary in a strip-joint, since your wife goes on at 10 pm anyway.

    It's a shame Adcritic isn't there anymore, it was fun to see some of those commercials.

    Cheers,

    BrainStop

    PS = I agree that neg. points aren't worth it for humour postings ... we don't all have the same sense of humour and we should allow that diversity. But feel free to ignore my 2 cents.
