I promise I will stop posting this message at some point. Probably this week.)
If you haven't yet read about my disastrous anti-Canada facebook campaign, you can read more here. The gist is that I used my gf's account (she went to school in Canada, has friends from there) to post inciteful status updates. Among the main points I hit were:
-Crosby is a coward, just like Gretzky
-Martin Brodeur is a bad goalie (or 'Bro-Poor')
-Switzerland will beat Canada (didn't happen)
-US will beat Canada (5-3!)
-The maple leaf is not up to snuff as a symbol
And my last post was: "DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?!! MY COUNTRY IS SO AWESOME!!
Here's what I've learned in the aftermath:
-The girlfriend's best friend is furious at her, and me by proxy.
-The girlfriend's other main college friend de-friended her.
-The girlfriend is back in touch with ex-boyfriends and will probably marry them all.
-The girlfriend's brother was 100% on board, and actually seems to really hate Canada.
-A lot of people posted semi-angry messages.
-Some took solace in the fact that the Canadians were ahead in ice dancing.
-Canadians have trouble writing 'medals.' (Happened twice, first had an unnecessary apostrophe, second was 'metals,' which actually seems kinda appropriate.)
-Canadians are convinced that Americans care more about them losing than America winning...and after my conduct, and reading the status updates of a bunch of other Americans (average message: "HOLY SHIT, FUCK YOU CANADA, WE DID IT!), this seems to be true.
-I am an asshole.
There you have it. The whole thing is a big mess. Nah, not a mess...more like a clusterfuck. Wait, that's not exactly right either...traffic accident? No, no...what am I trying to think of?
Oh yeah, I remember:
