I am sorry, but that is about the worst argument you could have made. Americans take like 20x as much shit in press and TV as canadians. For Christ's sake, Americans reinforce more stereotypes about themselves than they do with Canadians. Americans are nothing but a bunch of fatass ignorant fucks who are either your stereotypical dumbass conservatives or dumbass liberals. Half the world believes that if the Encyclopedia wanted to save themselves some ink, they could just replace whatever they have under United States of America with "see 'Jerry Springer'"
