AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!
When are you fucking Americans going to learn that:
(A) You're the only country in the world that celebrates Thanksgiving
today, and one of only two countries that celebrates it at *ALL* (up here
in Canada, we had our's a month ago); and
(B) The Internet is an international medium.
Add up (A) and (B) and you should see why posts like this to public forums
are annoying to a good percentage of those viewing them. It's like if I
wished everyone a happy thanksgiving back on October 12th, or if a Brit
wished everyone happy Guy Falke's Day, etc., etc...
(Sorry, but this is something like the 10th "happy thanksgiving!" message
I've received today from one mailing list or another, and I'm getting damn
tired of them.)
