Why Americans masquerade as us when in other countries. Except Canada.

There's places in Canada where you can get topless without being busted by the cops, right?
And yes, you do empty really well. Next to the Sahara I mean. Vacuousity would be an American trait, if Jersey Shore is something to go off on.
If my memory is correct, Canada invented peanut butter? A friend from Vancouver told me that. Considering the greasy shit I only have seen in my two home countries there must be some decent stuff out there.
