(On the level of "Holy shit, I actually got somebody with this," check out what happened when I posted the open letter to the IMDB board for South Park: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0121955/board/nest/248691073?p=1 )

Now some of what you are saying may be true but there have been some very troublesome things that have come out of Canada, let us not forget Bryan Adams...
Hey! We have apologized for Bryan Adams on many occasions!
You don't have to apologise for Bryan Adams, you definitely don't have to apologise for Alannah Myles, but we require some world-class grovelling from your entire nation on the subject of ... the Bieber.

However congrats for showing Americans what proper bacon should be like! I feel like you deserve a medal, but I fear what impact the introduction of metals would have on your culture.

Well, Bryan Adams and Alannah Myles were both accidents...Justin Bieber was on purpose.

So, I'm sorry, but there will be no apology.

Sorry if I didn't translate properly, only just started learning Canadian using Rosetta Stone

Is Trailer Park Boys a more accurate representation of Canada? Using hockey sticks as a catch-all household tool? More weed because of drastically reduced jailtimes for possession offenses? Extreme rates of shopping cart theft? Prostitutes accepting cheeseburgers as payment for services rendered? Is "fuck off" really a more often-used phrase than "eh?"

Teach me of your great misunderstood nation :D

Couldn't help but notice you didn't mention the previous episodes that showed that Canada only has one road.
I guess you're a big fan of Highway 1, eh?

Also no mention of buddy/guy/friend being used the same way we Americans use a period buddy
Frankly, our 1 road system is a mathematical marvel. Space filling curves have never before been used so practically

Eh, I don't know. "Fuck off" pretty much always has an "eh?" right before or after it. Using one without the other is like spending the night with your buddy without making sure your guy knows you'll not be coming home for the night, it just doesn't really happen.

This thread is not condescendingly apologetic enough. You're not a real Canadian, are you?
He ought to be thrown into Canadian prison.

Under the watchful eye of Warden Gord, he'll spend his days working in the syrup mines and knitting toques.

Err, Rob... I know people have grumbled about alot of things South Park says or has done before, but ummm...must we really take the show that originated on stop-motion construction paper so seriously? I mean, the movie blatently lambasted Canada, but this is just total comedy. So, if you're serious about this, I don't think you should be. I'm fairly certain that everyone and everything under the sun has gotten some ribbing from those guys.

Dear Matt and Trey,

I have been a Canadian fan of your show since its first season, but I cannot remain silent after this most recent episode?s blatant misrepresentation of our great country and culture.

First, Canada does not have a President. It has a Prime Minister, who is not elected but appointed by the Prince of Canada, and anointed with the sacred maple syrup upon his inauguration.
Yeah, yeah, already known. I present this photo of him as evidence.

Don't rile them.
Until their national pride is salved, there'll be more retaliatory Biebers.
Soon entire GROUPS of Biebers will be unleashed across the igloo strewn border like a finely choreographed wave of boyband vengeance.
All singing in autotuned harmony as they ride south on a phalanx of trained battle moose, hockey sticks held high and righteous yet apologetic justice lodged in their poutine clogged hearts.

If that happens proliferation is inevitable.
America will not allow a boyband gap!

I'm upset that they never show Candians scheming to destroy America/Freedom.
That's like portraying Florida without pure insanity.

Holy shit...did I just get somebody on HERE?

FalloutJack, I will NEVER stop until the dignity of our glorious Inuit with their wonderful laser eyes (who shoot satellites out of orbit when they get bored) is properly asserted, or until the United Nations ceases its prattling about the inhumane nature of our annual Running of the Polar Bears to all living things involved, including houseplants!

Canada WILL be respected and depicted with ACCURACY!

There was an episode about how Canada wants to be taken more seriously already.

(Also, their depiction of the Canadian Royal Wedding was spot on)

Haha, trolling done right. Oh man. I wonder if we plant enough of these over the internet if people won't have time to troll minor offenses anymore? Sounds like a public service if you ask me.

Ahaha, the headline and first couple of sentences had me for a bit!

Aren't these sorts of activities somewhat tricksy for a Canadian, eh?

Robert good god my sides man! Think of the innocent sides!

In other thoughts, you might one up Taco News on the parodyometer if you keep this up. But then again, you two having a parody off might end up even better than Sterling and Croshaw's poetry contest... Hmmmmm.
