There's ignorance, and then there's... this. XD

My brother's teacher handed out this sheet in class, and it is LOLworthy. =D

Now that Vancouver has won the chance to host the 2010 Winter Olympics, these are some questions people from all over the world are asking. Believe it or not these questions about Canada were posted on an International Tourism Website. Really

THESE QUESTIONS ARE SO PRICELESS.

Q. Which direction is North in Canada? (England)

Q. Will I be able to see Polar Bears in the street? (USA)

oh god, i raffed. xD;;

[mintchoc]

I KNOW, RIGHT?

A. The same as it is in England, dur.

I'm surprised at how many funny questions came from the US, lawl. I thought the whole 'American ignorance about Canada' thing was an extreme exaggeration! XD

[starsurfer]

My teacher once went down to the States and someone actually, honest to god, thought we lived in igloos.

LOL, I had a teacher whose relatives asked the same question. She replied, "Yes," then went on to elaborate on how we kept warm, surrounded by ice and snow.

[mintchoc]

Lol, care to share? On average, how many stupid questions do you get a week?

[lindenfan]

ROFL. Funniest thing I've read all week. xD

[mintchoc]

LOL yeah. I mean, polar bears on the street? There's more than one problem with that one, geez. xD

[icemint]

you should be like, 'Why, yes. I ride one to school everyday.'

[mintchoc]

Ahaha, same applies to the moose/unicorns, yeah? 'It's the fastest mode of transportation here, didn't you know? You show up on one in the middle of traffic, and everyone just moves out of your way! Funny, that.'
