Really? Coloured?


Really? It never crossed your mind to refer to Barack Obama as Black? Really? Coloured? Was it a toss-up between that and Negro? Good god, Lindsay Lohan, you are making it harder and harder for me to defend you. Coloured? Read a book, for fuck's sake.

For reals! I was watching this with a friend and we both looked at one another and said simultaneously, "What year is it?"

Dude, Mayor, what's the deal with the British spelling of the word. As LinLo is American, you should go with good American "Colored". My $.02.

Erp. This is where I hang my head in shame and admit that the reason there are so many extra Us in my words (humour, colour, etc) is because....im Canadian.
Look away!
But yes, I know what you are saying, but since I was not quoting her, I chose to spell it the way we spell it here.

It just looks so weird to me...colour. My sister and I used to pronounce that as Coe-lore.

Well, in that case, would you be so kind as to explain "Boxing Day" to me? Mayor, I dig Canadians.

The Mayor said...

You guys have Boxing Day too, right? I just Wiki'd that shit, and it appears that you don't. What the hell?!?! Boxing Day is the stupidest thing - all stores open at like, 5am and offer deep discounts on electronics and shit (aka Stuff You Don't Need). Also, if you work retail, you HAVE to work Boxing Day, you can't book it off, and if you ask for it off, they will fire you. Lineups mean you wait for 2 hours to buy a shirt at 5% off. I have only done Boxing Day ONCE and it was retarded - no deals to be had at all.
