This is regarding the Wong Brothers debate in the picture post: I saw a tv commercial today (while watching my Bruins make Montreal their bitch). It was for Bombardier All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs). The ad showed them pulling logs, with the phrase "these aren't chop sticks". Then they were trout fishing and it said "this isn't sushi". The ad then bragged about being made in the northwoods of canada vs overseas in Asia. To some, apparently, this could be viewed as offensive. The word "foreign" used to be descriptive. Now it's offensive. Guilt has replace Pride. It's a shame folks want our country to feel so guilty about our success that we have lost our identity.

I guess we will have to wait and see if anyone stages a protest. I decline to participate.
