"Many people in the focus group mistook the DNA strand featured on the $100 bill for a sex toy. Others thought the see-through windows on the bills resembled the contours of a woman’s body. Who knew money notes could be so risque?"
I actually find this pretty funny. That focus group must have been quite the crowd. The Vimy Ridge monument always reminded me of some futuristic statue, like a mass relay or something.

As someone who used to supplement my meager grad student stipend with focus group money, I feel the need to clue in some people to why focus groups are totally useless for market research.
First, there are only two types of people who participate in focus groups. On one hand, you have people who need the money and on the other you have people with nothing better to do. In my experience, the people with nothing better to do are, more often than not, crazy. I've heard people say completely asinine things in these things.
There are also a lot of smart asses, like myself, who try to liven up otherwise boring focus groups. I used to do anything to get selected for a group. You're damn right I smoke Du Maurier, drink rye, have a student loan, drive a lexus, have a mortgage with scotiabank and routinely eat canned beans. What do I do for a living? Oh, I'm a mortician who enjoys firewalking in my spare time and I write poetry only using words starting with "t".
Focus groups are dumb but they pay in cash.

I'm of the opinion that ANYONE suggesting that the $20 is offensive needs to be exiled from our country. I have no tolerance for these types of idiots and highly doubt they contribute anything of value to our society.
That memorial SHOULD be more recognizable in Canadian culture and for once it will be since it is now on the most traded monetary bill. They should have put the whole thing on there - my only gripe.
Vimy is one of the most important events in Canadian history, both in military history and in the broader sense of making the rest of the world stand back and take notice of our nation. To see it trashed because it resembles the god damn World Trade towers...? /rage

While doing a little research on this I also noticed that the image of the devil in the Canadian $1 dollar bill is strikingly similar to the devils face we all saw on 9/11 when the WTC building were engulfed in smoke. Coincidence? I doubt that very much
We have a winner here!

Did you know that the supposed "All Seeing Eye" that is on the american bill isn't really the all seeing eye?
It's actually a picture of the beast's A hole... Don't believe me? take a look at a few A holes of people bent over and you will see what I mean. You can clearly see the triangle and the eye is the a hole. Not to mention that I've read somewhere sometime ago that those who worship the beast have to kiss his a hole.
The All Seeing Eye in nothing but a depiction of the beast's A hole.
Here's a dumb question: When Queen Elizabeth dies, will they just put Prince Charles on the $20 bill with the same designs, or completely re-do the $20 with a new theme?

i really hope that's the out that our government is waiting for to finally get rid of the monarchs on our money. do you really want to see this face on our $20 and all of our coins?

Yeah but if she lives long enough that it skips straight to Will can we put Kate on our money?
I'm thinking this:
(hey we've already got soft core porn, so why not Kate's ass?)
There’s a joke that we tell in our act: Our friend Morgan Murphy, who’s a very funny comedian, asked us once in a funny way—and I just love this joke—she said, “Did you guys take 9/11 harder than most people—”
JS & RS: “—Because you’re twins?”
RS: It’s a great question, and I was like, “To be honest with you, there was one moment on 9/12/2001 where I was like, ‘Oh my god, are we next?’” And the sports nerd in us, every time, wants to make this joke—and we do it a lot on stage, but a lot of times to very little laugher— which is, then Jason says…
JS: “… and I called Hakeem Olajuwon and Ralph Sampson, and I was like, ‘Do not hang out together.”
JS & RS: “They’re going after twins, they’re going after towers.”
JS: Two guys, who in the 1980s played for the Houston Rockets and they were called “The Twin Towers.”
RS: I was like, “You can hang out with Clyde Drexler individually”—another player from those teams.

Kind of OT, but nothing has ever made me more proud to be Canadian than visiting the Vimy Ridge Memorial. It is a beautiful monument, that is chilling in a very special way.
