I hate Canadian versions of American stuff.

Over the years of constantly being disappointed, I've just come to the conclusion that Canadian versions of American things suck balls. They are never anywhere NEAR close to being the same.
First example: stores. Wal-Mart in the States is WAY better than Wal-Marts here. Recently we got a whole slew of US stores popping up here, like Forever XXI, Bath & Body Works, Victoria's Secret, Hot Topic, etc. I go on to the websites of these stores and find tons of stuff that I would love...then I go in the actual store in my friendly neighbourhood mall and find that NONE of it is available here. Isn't that ridiculous? In the States, Victoria's Secret has a pretty good line of clothing. What do they have here? Just lingerie. BULLSHIT! We already have stores that sell over-priced bras that make your boobs look like a wal-eyed fish, we don't need another. Forever XXI is the same thing..all the nice stuff is only available in the US and we're stuck with the cheap shitty looking stuff. I know to Americans, Hot Topic is a lame emo store, but to me it was one of the only stores that sold cool clothing and purses and stuff that I really liked. It was like a metal store. You could buy records and cool studded shit. Here? UGH. Full of JUSTIN BIEBER AND DRAKE CRAP. Are you serious??? None of the cool clothes or accessories. SUCH a disappointment. I don't know why I even bother getting excited anymore. Target is coming next...BFD. It'll probably shit the bed too.
Second example of shitty Canadian rip-offs: TV shows. Reality shows, to be specific. Canadian Idol is the first thing that comes to mind. The people that have made the top 10 of this show (with few exceptions) are ...unbelievable. I do not mean this in a good way. The judges were out of their minds, plus there was that one guy who had to act like the "Simon" but of course since he was Canadian, he was far inferior (and was actually put in his place by the REAL Simon on "World Idol", it was great to watch). People would always say to me "Oh, you should go on Canadian Idol!". YEAH SURE. That's probably the last thing I would do. Can you imagine if they'd rejected me?? After seeing who they'd praised? I'd probably rip out my vocal box and never sing again. Not to mention their RIDICULOUS theme nights, like...CELINE DION?! Fuck that shit. I'll be they even had a Nickelback theme night. Pfft. Canadian Idol. Yep, I'll get right on that!
Canadian versions of US stuff has the potential to be good even, but they insist on ramming the fact that it's Canadian down our throats. Everything is full of the idiotic Canadian stereotypes that *surprise* don't necessarily apply to everyone.
In the end, I don't want it to sound like I'm ashamed to be Canadian, because I'm definitely not, and I'm happy and grateful to be able to have been born in a country like this, blah-blah-blah. If only I was born like a few 100 miles SOUTH, it would've been maybe a little better for me, shopping-wise at least. And honestly, does anything else matter?
