WOW, i watched NBC's Extreme Home Makeover last night and if my dang computer was working at the time you all really would have heard how I felt about that particular episode however the steam has subsided a bit but I will still mention why I was so mad.... Ok so they (the crew on the television show) have to redo these peoples house and the house is in such bad shape that they decide to bulldoze the entire thing and start from stratch so TY mr. man decides he has to call in a new pre-fab house which just means it is already the parts to the house kindof like a puzzle you put together... so it shows him calling around and he is "getting hung up on" yada yada yada so he finally gets a hold of guy in ......gasp...... CANADA and his first question as the guy answers is..."do you speak english??" yeah thats right a guy in British Columbia and he is wondering if the guy can speak english no moron I speak Canadian eh....grrr. so then I am watching with grited teeth mostly to see what else they have to say...and it is pretty rude, you know how the crew talks to the camera about the way things are going well they are like... gee the canadian guy (his name was Peter) is late how long can it take to drive to California from up there... does he have to hop on the dog sled.....yeah buddy but first he has to catch a baby seal to feed his family and then put on the ol'snow shoes....before shoveling out of the igloo...
So the guy gets there an hour late and then they are picking on the house he brought which was in pieces (not sure if they thought he would have put it together for them too...)they are like.. up in Canada they must do things differently they must have different rules because this house is just wood and the pre-fab doesn't even include plaster or wiring or plumbing what a joke blah blah blah they picked on him the whole time and then when he left they picked on him some more oh those canadians don't understand our deadlines this woman whose house it is gave blood and bone maro (sp?) she saved a life so we are redoing her house and Peter the canadian just leaves in his dog sled back up to Canada.....they think we live in the wilderness..
yeah buddy we do, do things different "up here" we don't have to have a television show to save someones life or do a good deed, we don't call someone a day earlier and ask them a huge favour our own country can't perform and expect miracles the whole time poking fun at them, we read books and know things about other countries other than our own, we have compassion and love and yet don't need a camera to display this....we rule ,we rock we are CANADIAN y'all....

so i still was a tad mad......
