I spent 10 days in Quebec back in the 80's. I had
a great time, ask me about the 3-party later 
I once read an interview given by the Canadian ambassador
to the US wife. She said "When attending diplomatic functions/parties
while being introduced as the Canadian ambassador to the US wife,
a bland stare would come over everyone's face. Maybe we should
invade North Dakota or something"
That's the ticket 
Sometimes you have to stand out in a crowd 
Remember that TNG episode where Q allows Picard to
go back and see his life (Tapestry)if he hadn't been stabbed by the
Norsican? |

Kevin Smith's Banned-in-the-US 'Porno' Poster:
Exclusive first look!
Sep 3, 2008, 12:00 AM | by Marc Bernardin
You know what's so special about this, the first poster for Kevin Smith's new flick, Zack and Miri Make a Porno (due out October 31st)? It's not that the one-sheet drops just before the movie's premiere at the Toronto Film Festival (which it does), or that Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks look so surprised, or that the chocolate-mint color scheme is making me a little hungry for Friendly's. No, it's that you'll only see this poster in Canada.
Even after winning an appeal to overturn Porno's NC-17 rating, Smith says the MPAA won't give their blessing to the image shown here -- which is eyes-only for our neighbors to the north. "When you've got the word 'porno' in the title, naturally, the marketing materials are gonna be scrutinized more closely by the MPAA," says the director. "I understand they've got a job to do, but c'mon... this image isn't that dirty; they're both fully clad."
We can just add this to the long list of things we have Canada to thank for, like William Shatner, Michael J. Fox, and the fittingly monikered Peter North. "I've always loved Canada and Canadians for giving us hockey," says Smith. "Now, I love 'em just a little bit more. For allowing tufts of hair."
