Im not saying im "Proud" to be Canadian, or that Canadians are better. Canada has its own stupid problems.
I just cant believe some of the stupid things I see happen in the US. I think the thing that bugs me the most is how people sue for the most retarded reasons ever.
Ever since I got HD-TV I have been forced to watch Detroit and Washington stations. I get all american programing including comercials. Whats the difference?
Well american broadcasting consists of 1 advertisment every comcercial break to promote some lawyer who can help you make money. Dont forget how awesome daytime TV is and its 1 million adds for schools that can help you become a dental assistant! Yes even you!
So this morning I read this little prize right here.

MySpace blogger who spread sex gossip sought

ATHENS, Ga. - Authorities are searching for whomever posted a long list and description of supposed sexual encounters between dozens of high school students on the online networking site MySpace.com.
Oconee County Sheriff's officials said they were investigating who posted the gossip about North Oconee High School students Sept. 1-9. Since gossip isn't a crime, the sheriff's report lists the offense as distributing obscene materials to minors. The list describes sexual encounters and could be accessed by people younger than 18.
"There's a lot of difference between writing on a bathroom wall and distributing it all over the world on the Internet where anyone has access to it," Lt. David Kilpatrick told the Athens Banner-Herald for a story published Sunday. advertisement
Students argued with one another, disrupting classes, when most found out about the MySpace blog, said principal John Osborne.
Kilpatrick said that MySpace gave him the e-mail address of the person who created the site, but that it was an anonymous Yahoo account. He said he would subpoena BellSouth, the Internet service provider used to create the e-mail address, to try to determine who paid for the Internet service.
Any student found to have created the site could be expelled because the school's conduct code covers off-campus behavior that affects school life, Osborne said. He said they might also face lawsuits from parents of students cited in the postings.
I mean seriously here. Why the hell should this school and the police be doing a massive investigation into ... Gossip... This is a high school we are talking about. Shouldnt the school and police be more concerned with say Drugs? Or Guns? It seems really stupid that a student can be kicked out of their school for writing gossip on myspace.
Only in the great United States of America!
