One Desperate American Requesting Some Help

October 10th 2008 20:45
U.S. / Canadia Flag meld
While I was roaming around the internet in the middle of the night I came across this very funny, while very sad if the poster is serious, ad on Craigslist. I just had to share it because it truly is hilarious. I absolutely love how he used the word "aboot", enjoys the band Rush, and can fake liking hockey.


If he gets a taker this just might start a trend here in the states if McCain and Palin actually do win the election. We could see the most people flocking from the U.S. into Canada since it became a safe haven for "draft dodgers."

Without any further adieu here is the actual post from Craigslist.

Disgruntled American Seeks Canadian For Political Asylum, Maybe More - 32 (Washington State, USA)

Like so many in the USA, I've become increasingly fed up with my country. The last 8 years have been a nightmare of perpetual motion. The presidential election is almost a month away, but let's face it. If Bush's cronies were able to set him up for two terms, then McCain and Palin are practically a shoo-in. When that happens (and it will, just you watch) I would rather be somewhere else. Like The Great White North!


Are you a lonely, possibly desperate Canadian woman aged 18-50? Tired of trying to find a good man among your flannel clad, Labatt's drinking, moose hunting country men? Willing to take in an American who is fed up with his country? Then I'm the guy for you! Maybe you're a bit overweight or suffer from "Lifelong Ugly Duckling" syndrome. I don't care.

What I'm All Aboot:

* 32, tall, a bit pudgy around the middle, starting to go bald, but other than that it's all good.
* IT Professional, skilled with computers, can fix yours.
* Will get whatever job(s) available to help support us.
* From Washington State, appreciates nature.
* Willing to learn French.
* Polite, working on being more humble.
* Hates littering.
* Will pet your cat(s)/dog(s) and tell you how cute it is.
* Enjoys Rush.
* Can fake an interest in hockey.
* Knows the first line to the Canadian National Anthem.
* Will do whatever it takes to get the f@*! out of here.

What You're All Aboot:

* Canadian.
* 18-50 year old female.
* Willing to marry me for citizenship.

So there you have it ladies! This is your chance to help your neighbors to the South. Get at it!




* Location: Washington State, USA
* it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

awww i suspect its a gag but i still feel for the poor fella . . . i saw a related episode of Boston Legal recently where a small town wished to succeed from the USA and become its own seperate nation because they were ashamed of what America had become and no longer wanted any part of it

Hi Morgan,

Yep, I figured it was a gag. I am curious to see if he would get any real responses though.

maybe i should apply and see if he would consider Australia instead?
he seems a fairly flexible kind of guy!

lol

The weather is certainly better there. Just ask Cibbuano. Although if he is from Washington state he prefers it a bit cooler with rain like 240 days out of the year. It might be easier for him to fake a liking of rugby instead of hockey though.
