Hypocrisy, anyone? (snagged from [livejournal.com profile] auryn29a)

I wish I could make stuff like this up. Well, no, not really. Genetic effluvia like the ill-born morons in this story are quite simply beyond me.

The whole story strikes me as bizarre most of all. Must be a damn slow news day.

I have to admit, I can see the point (or a point): People aren't annoyed that Canadians are using the maple leaf to express pride in being Canadian (or if they are, they're morons); they're annoyed that Canadians are using the maple leaf to express pride in not being us. Hit someone where it hurts and yeah, they're gonna bitch.

I was actually told many times when younger, mostly in high school, that if ever traveling abroad to put a maple leaf flag on our backpacks so people think we're Canadian, because people like Canadians.
