However, I recently visited a martini bar in Seattle where I heard a very drunk, very obnoxious American guy spout out that phrase and I can tell you, all humour was lost at that point. Unfortunately, some dumb Americans (and Canadian) get a hold of funny slogans/phrases and ruin it for everyone else. Man that guy was offensive, your stereotypical asshole American. I wanted to punch him . . . fortunately my American friends told me that they too found him revolting and calmed me down.

The shape is way off, Canada is larger than the USA, make the hat 3 or 4 times larger and it would be proportional.

Almost started singing "Great White North" theme song, but then I'd have to explain it to my husband. I wonder what this would make our neighbors further and further to the south? "Mexico: America's T-Shirt - From Our Sweatshop Maquiladora to Your Home" "Honduras y Nicaraugua: America's Muffintop" "Panama: America's Vanity-Sized Waistband" "Brazil: America's Big Booty in Too-Tight Jeans" Of course, this also means that we've got the world's biggest head (from sea to shining sea) but that's nothing new.

“Mexico: America’s T-Shirt - From Our Sweatshop Maquiladora to Your Home”
“Honduras y Nicaraugua: America’s Muffintop”
“Panama: America’s Vanity-Sized Waistband”
“Brazil: America’s Big Booty in Too-Tight Jeans”

Of course, this also means that we’ve got the world’s biggest head (from sea to shining sea) but that’s nothing new.
