    The banner on the left warns Facebookers to "say something smart or we won't let you back."
    I guess they are now held to a higher standard than the rest of us.


    Also all this extra colorful content at the left and bottom is seriously messing up my ADD.

    Uh, I think we are going to need some new England memes:


    namely, the food there fucking rocks now, they don't make their own cars and there's a fucking heat wave every summer.


    Let's try something with verbally foul chefs, failed banks, and the lack of summer water in a country that's synonymous with winter rains.

    Can't wait for the Mumbai Auto Show. I heard there is going to be a sport version of the Nano. It's rumored to have over 5 bhp.

    Obviously due to pressure from the British Dental Association, that wants to run two weekends instead of one.

    @pauljones-Jo Schmo's saintly and opposite twin.:


    Times have changed

    The cars are getting worse

    There isn't anything well made

    They just break and make us curse


    Should we blame the government?

    Or blame society?

    Or should we blame British crumpets and tea?


    NO!

    Blame Canada!

    Blame Canada!

    With all their beady little eyes and flapping heads so full of lies!

    Blame Canada!

    Blame Canada!

    We need to form a full assault!

    It's Canada's fault!


    Don't blame me for my crappy car

    I couldn't afford another with the car shows gone afar

    And my boy, Eric, used to tinker with his toys

    But he says these bland budget shitboxes bring him no joy


    WELL...

    Blame Canada!

    Blame Canada!

    It seems that everything's gone wrong since Canada came along.

    Blame Canada!

    Blame Canada!

    They're not even a real country anway.


    The British should have wowed us

    With a Noble or Lotus or two

    Instead must we turn to the Prius

    For entertaining the kids and you?


    HECK NO!

    Blame Canada!

    Blame Canada!

    With all their hockey-hullabaloo,

    And that bitch Anne Murray too,

    Blame Canada!

    Shame on Canada, foooor...

    The smut we must cut,

    The trash we must bash,

    The laughter and fun must all be undone!

    We must blame them and cause a fuss before somebody thinks of blaming uuuuuuuuuuus!


    (apologies to Dearthair)

    They'd have to be French Canadians.
