You would have assumed one of the media outlets would have released a video by now. How every single major news outlet was there for this, but not one is airing this said interview. Shows you how sports media works - one hand washes the other. Nothing really to get your knickers in a twist with, but Bernier really comes across as disingenuous, and after getting front row seats, should've known better.

At first, I thought it was going to be something dumb like going to a theatre and saying, "You too!" when they say, "Enjoy the movie" and it's awkward....
But wow... that's completely off the mark.

This is being blown out of proportions, the real issue here is the histories of the world and such. I feel Bernier and the people in charge, such as the Americas, don't think enough of the real issues. Children aren't learning enough about Mr. Mandela and other histories such as the wars and such because of the lack of books in the schools. I feel it's our duty to help out and such as we are the real role models and such.
Thank you.

Bernier is not one of the people in charge. And ‘the Americas’ are not people, they are continents. If you mean ‘the Americans’, when you accuse them all of being ignorant, you are merely proving your own ignorance.
Besides, what have the Americans got to do with how ignorant Bernier is? He isn’t American. You just dragged them in by the heels so you could take a cheap shot at the Yankees. It depresses me to see how many Canadians do that – and how, in the process of showing off their own superiority to the dumb Yanks, they only prove that they are just as dumb.

People like to say funny things and such on the internet as a way to take a break from things such as the work and so on.
Didn't think I had to say it was a joke....and such.

I suggest you watch the Miss Teen USA (or whatever it was) video linked above.

He gave a better followup:
Reporter: "Recent polls have shown a fifth of NHL goalies can't locate the U.S. on a world map. Why do you think this is?"
Bernier: "I personally believe that NHL goaltenders are unable to do so because, uh, some . . . people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over HERE in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our children".

Well that's not really surprising, what with all the cuts to physical education over the last few years.

OK, beauty pageant contestants are dumb. Are you saying that all Americans are as dumb as Miss Teen USA contestants? If not, the point is completely irrelevant.

He is parodying the Miss Teen USA speech with a fictional quote of what Jonathan Bernier said at the Nelson Mandela event.
Sheesh.

Are you really missing what was done there? I will explain it to you:
He was imitating the answer given in the beauty pageant. Not making a comment about Americans.

They certainly are a section of the population not notoriously selected for their intellectual attributes.
