[QUOTE=Mr.Coffee;3518896]what about eating them?

these debates are always interesting to me and are usually filled with double standards and hypocracy.

Is Bob Barker is some kind of king of the moral compass?[/QUOTE]

Seriously, that looks horrible. Is that the same promotional video from 1983?

We might need to ask Kevin Lowe to make us some DVDs.....

You would still, at the very least have to say "Calgary, Alberta, Canada!" We aren't very bright people; esp at geography.

In your defense though, the U.S. is really the only country in the world where the state/province is used and the country is often omitted. American geography is entreched in popular culture a lot more than Canadian geography (or any other country in the world for that matter).

Canadians tend to know the 50 states, but not because we study them.

Bob Barker sounds like my crazy grandfather. Smile and nod but don't take him seriously.

I am sure he has given away trips to countries with human rights violations - far worse than whatever happens to animals.

Do you think one of them would give me the legendary "Boot Trick"?

Yeah, we're actually worse. We just simply say "Los Angeles"

I get that if the destination is in another country city-country works like "London, England" or "Tokyo, Japan"

Is it just me, or when they said "Calgary, Canada!!" the one on the left had the "where the @#$% is that look on her face"?

Have not read the whole thread but I don't agree with this at all
