Well I wasn't aware of this for sever years; but, apparently, I get my milk in bags. And I supposedly have a really annoying accent and say "buddy" a lot. I can also drive from Vancouver to Toronto in less that a single day because the second biggest country in the world is so small. I probably know Fred in Winnipeg or Mary in Montréal, because in Canada we all know each other.

What are stereotypes about your area or country that annoy you?

Well, I'm fat, stupid, arrogant, lazy, imperialistic, war-mongering, and cultureless....so all those stereotypes appear to be true in my case.

I've seen it and it made me want it more. He supersized everything, ate it every meal for a month and had zero health issues and only gained 10lbs. That movie should have been an AD for McDs. Every person I've spoken to about it said the same thing. :lol:

Well, us Newfs(Newfoundlanders, in the east of Canada) are all supposed to be fishermen who speak fast with a thick accent, say "b'y" after every sentence, eat nothing but fish and listen to Irish music. My dad's pretty close to that besides being a fisherman, but I'm not like that(I unfortunately have a bit of the accent, which detriments from my ability to sing normal music, but...), and I don't really know anyone who IS like that within 100 kilometers of here...I'M NOT A HICK, DAMNATION.

And are extremely ignorant and hate all things not American, and don't know about other countries, and carry guns and shoot people all the time, and wage war all the time. I guess I'm all that except ignorant, I study other countries and know several people from other countries I would call friends, I've never owned or shot a gun, I don't advocate the senseless invasion of other countries, and I don't eat fast food all the time. Oh wait, that would mean I'm none of those American stereotypes :?

Are you sure as when I watched, it kind of looked like he did more damage in a month eating McDonalds than years of alcoholism would do. He did pickle his liver afterall

Correct but for the time being he was in fine health. NOBODY eats McDonalds every meal of every day. That was a total extreme for a prolonged period of time and he was fine.

Yes. I'm not saying he was in great health but relatively good health for what he did.

Not to mention he purposely over ate. I mean if your staring at a half finished triple cheese burger and your full and don't want any more, why would anybody keep eating until they pukedlike that guy did. I would of put it back in the wrapper and saved it for later.
