THIS

Magazine (a Canadian socio-politico-complexo-migraino mag with a humourous bent) and geekend.ca have created a satrical site called Marry An American:

Ladies and gentlemen, drop your borders

When the provisional Ohio votes are counted and if George W.

Bush is re-elected, single, sexy, American liberals – already

a threatened species – will be desperate to escape.

These lonely, afraid (did we mention really hot?) progressives will need

a safe haven.

You can help. Open your heart, and your home. Marry an American.

Legions of Canadians have already pledged to sacrifice their

singlehood to save our southern neighbours from four more years

of cowboy conservatism.

Be sure to read the personal profiles. They’re amusing:

Name: I*heart*trees1985
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Occupation: Full-time liberal arts major / part-time tree

hugger

Location: Beautiful British Columbia
Hot for: Mountain Equipment Co-op, vegan potlucks, mother earth

(gaia), feminist collectives, dreadlocks.

Political orientation: Card carrying member of the GREEN PARTY! Yay! Not

literally… I lost it at a phish concert.

What I’m looking for: Someone to save the trees with me. A boy named Chad, Conner,

or Mackenzie.

Why get to know me: I do a wicked Joni Mitchell impersonation and don’t shave my

legs.

Name: hot4classwar
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Occupation: Grad Student
Location: Montreal
Hot for: Karl Marx, Wade Davis, poutine
Political orientation: autonomous anarchist
What I’m looking for: A hot American brother to join in the struggle against imperialism and corporate globalization.
Why get to know me: Together,

we will work together to prepare the seeds of the revolution that will

reclaim your poor nation, seizing the means of production from the

corporate elite.

Like I said, I’ve already got that covered.
