Differences between canada and USA

[Steven]

Everyone makes fun of Americans because they think they are dumb and don't know anything, and 99.9% of the reason why is TV, I have long been convinced of it.

Everywhere I have been in the world, you turn on the TV and at least one channel has an American TV show on. I remember my sister saying she had been to Uganda and "Different Strokes" was on the TV. Even in Iran they watch American movies.

I met a woman from Northern Ireland once who told me she thought the English have an "island" attitude, because never had she met anyone from England who could name three towns in Northern Ireland, even though they're both part of the UK.

So after that I tried it out on a number of English friends and only one could name three towns in Northern Ireland and that was after some deep thought about it. Yet they could all name three cities in the US without even thinking about it.

Now you might say that is because the US is a much larger country - okay, name three towns in India. A European might be able to do it, but nowhere as quick as for the US.

Another one I try on English people is this:

Name one American State.
Name one Canadian Province.
Name one Mexican State.

Everyone gets the first one. Most people get the second one. Hardly anyone gets the third one.

The reason why is because of TV.

Americans don't get much foreign TV and 90% of the foreign TV they do get is Canadian. America is the only country in the world I reckon where 90%+ of the programming is domestic, so it's not surprising they know bugger all about the rest of the world.
