I have been to Japan a few times, and I was frequently impressed by the creative, even decorative use of English I saw all around, and not just on t-shirts. I was given a pot holder while there with the words "Free and Easy Penguin Cooking". I also had a saucepan with the words Easy Mama anodized into it. I have never found a satisfactory explanation for either of those.
This may be getting too far off topic. I just thought people might find it curious.

So if Canada is America's hat… what does that make Mexico? Its underpants?

This may be a case of the metaphor being carried a bit too far… 😀

Quite the clusterf_ck – a Finnish rock band and the Red Army Choir covering a Lynyrd Skynyrd song about American regionalism, civil rights, and nosy Canadian moralizing. Surreal.

That is one um, incredible take on Skynyrd. I mentioned this to a friend today and he introduced me to the Red Elvises. I found their song Love Rocket on You Tube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CDWnhegy5M
I think it's a riot. OK, I found others too. You Tube is full of their videos, but none of the others worked for me.
