I KNOW RIGHT!?
It went beyond that tho. Avril, Simple Plan, Hedley.

WTF


The only part I liked was Neil Young, and to a lesser extent; Michael Buble.

You guys may have beat us in hockey...but then you had Nickelback play.

Just so you Canananananananananadians know, Nickelback is less popular than a pickle:

I dont get why americans think most canadians like Nickleback, infact most canadians hate them.

Im a proud member of that group.

Go pickle!

Re: Olympic Opening Ceremony
 

I don't mind Nickelback.
Then again, I started liking them well before it was cool to hate them.

I liked the stereotypical Canadian Buble-fest-o-thon that took place.

Re: Olympic Opening Ceremony
 

I also heard Nickelback before they got popular...one of my local radio stations did plugs for smaller bands, and back in the day Nickelback was riding the post-grunge movement. I would probably hate Nickelback less if [they were less popular] or if Chad Kroeger wasn't such a tool.

[] = I put that into brackets...my feeling on Nickelback's popularity is that there is nothing wrong with being popular. I'm not one of these people who hates bands because they are popular...I mean obviously...I love a ton of popular bands from DMB to Metallica to Incubus...what drives me nuts about Nickelback is that a lot of people think they are hard rock or metal and that they are the ceiling for what those genres have to offer. In a way Nickelback sort of promotes closed-minded music listening for a lot of people.

Anyway...I give you Canadians a hard time. I know you all don't love Nickelback. In fact a lot of awesome music has come out of Canada, including one of my favorite hip-hop labels.

Also, serious congrats on Hockey. :p

I think Russia mad a very stupid choice to have Socchi host the 2014 winter games. They are building about 99% of the needed buildings (event building to hotels) from scratch to the tune of 17 billion dollars.

Both of those are hot, and also Ashley McIvor (Mmm.. that's one tall glass of water), and Jessica Dube.

I was going around saying Joannie Rochette was hot but then her mom died and that wasn't cool.

Also Cheryl Bernard the curler is the MOTY. (Milf of the year.)

Also our closing ceremonies were so freaking budget. I hate Neil Young.. but then they played all the other kinds of bands I hate too. So disappointing.

Also John Furlong's french was TRES TERRIBLE.

Jennifer Heil for cutest Canadian olympian.

There were giant beavers on the fuckin ice? Christ almighty...

Re: Olympic Opening Ceremony
 

The whole display was basically a giant tongue-in-cheek joke about the ways we are stereotyped.

Re: Olympic Opening Ceremony
 

DM's post made it all worthwhile though.
If even 1 American thinks it wasn't a joke, I am a very, very happy Canadian.

Re: Olympic Opening Ceremony
 

I thought that part in particular of the closing ceremony was great... so much better than China.
