| Joelcool7 said: I just got off the Wii boards on Nintendo.com where something was brought to my attention! Nintendo just created a poll on the Everybody Votes Channel that is very offensive to its Canadian user base. The pol's question was Which expression due Canadian's use most "Eh or Sorry" this is horribly offensive. While its true the majority of the world does stareotype us as the most peacefull people on the earth this makes us sound either cowardly or like hicks. The poll is already creating outrage on the Nintendo boards and I'm e-mailing in a complaint. I'm not sure how many other Canadian's are offended but isn't insulting someones Nationality just as bad as insulting them for their skin colour or their religeous faith? I'd like your opinion, if we created a poll question that asked what phrase American's use most "Terrorist or Ruff" how would that go over? Is it fair to insult our country or any one elses country? |
The english and Australinas have an accent(very different between the two I might add!) and in their countries they use different words quite often that we do not over here. Australians are known for saying "mate" quite often, and in the UK when I was there the majority I met said Charming,...We in the US use cool quite often, its not offensive. Only a closed minded individual that is extremely callow and wants to complain about the "eh" would take offense...think outside the box and focus on your inner positive self energy instead of getting upset over piss and vinegar.
PS Last time my friends came down form BC they made fun of the Eh...quite iften because they say it repeatedly...
OH by the way The US is known to be the fattest in the world.......WANNA TRADE STEREOTYPES???
