Smooth move, Canada

Canada, you’re a country that’s much larger than the one you reside over top of. You’re fairly pleasant enough, but you enjoy a good beer, which is awesome! So why do you continue to give us reasons to make fun of you?

The insane rioting was ridiculous enough, but your money has always been a point of hilarity. A queen that you don’t really pay that much attention to? A beaver? A duck? Excuse me: loon.

The smart (and eventual) move for money is to switch to a check card like swipe system. It saves space and it doesn’t have stupid animals on it! So when we hear that you’re moving to a form of plastic money, I can’t help but be happy.

Annnnnd crestfallen. This is not what I meant by plastic money.

In Homer We Trust

From our sister blog HombresSeriamentes.com: Sure, the Euro may be kicking the U.S. dollar’s proverbial ass these days, but at least we can stick our country’s heroes on their coins.

In Spain, a shopkeeper was emptying out a cash register when he found not the image of King Juan Carlos I, but that of Homer Simpson, best down for his love of beer and “los doughnuts.”

Upon hearing the news, the King promptly told Simpson to “shut up.” (HAR! A foreign policy joke! Take THAT, Hugo Chavez!)
