Stupid TouristsWhat's the stupidest thing you've ever heard a tourist say? Ever heard an American talking about visiting "Scotchland, England", or (and this one is actually real) a Japanese couple talking about the correct way to say Clapham is actually Clatham, as "ph" sounds are pronounced "th". Which has a certain logic really. UPDATE: Please, no more Loogabarooga stories. It's getting like, "and I opened my eyes and my mum had left me a cup of tea!"

Not a tourist butthe fucking new American ambassador to Canada. He was asked on public radio if he'd been to Canada before. He answered yes, he had about 30 years ago on his honeymoon at Niagra Falls. When asked if he'd explored at all, he confidently told the interviewer they'd gone out, oh, south and west to see the country.
South and west of either Niagra Falls (Canadian or American) is New York State. Our ambassador to one of the few countries that doesn't hate us on sight isn't quite sure where Canada is. Way to go, Bush. It seems the best qualifications for an ambassadorship is the ability to give large wads of cash to the Fuckpublicans.
