    So which part here is the WTF? that the russians made a silly joke, or that the canadians have too much bureaucracy to remove it?

  • Matt (unregistered)

    Biggest WTF is that CorrespondenceDeliveryMethods is in plural. Should be named CorrespondenceDeliveryMethod.

  • C0wboy (unregistered)

    National stereotypes. What's that aboot? eh.

    So which part here is the WTF?

    That the author doesn't know what a stereotype is. A stereotype is a true statement, albeit often an oversimplification. For instance, "men commit most violent crime" is a stereotype about men, and easily verified from crime stats. It's still bad to assume from that that a specific man must be a violent criminal. "Canadians ride moose" is not a stereotype, it's a myth.

    ahem.... https://www.google.com.co/search?q=Canadians+ride+moose&safe=active&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiB-YD9mt_XAhXMRiYKHdADAj0Q_AUICigB&biw=1280&bih=933

    "Canadians ride moose" is, as shown by Rafa's image search, a generalization with many true specific instances. Moreover, it's a poorly specified generalization; it should be more clearly given, such as "Some Canadians sometimes ride moose" or "Some Canadians have ridden moose in the past", both of which are true; or "All Canadians ride moose all the time" or even "All Canadians ride moose sometimes", both of which are are false.

    "men commit most violent crime" is a statistic, not a stereotype. "Men are violent criminals" is a stereotype that uses that grain of truth to propagate.

    Sorry, only PROGRAMMERS are violent criminals. Look at all the horrendous software they inflict upon us! ;)

  • Worf (unregistered)

    A stereotype is just a gross oversimplification of an attribute to a group.

    E.g., "Asians are terrible drivers" Or "Canadians are polite" Or "Americans are crude" Or "IT workers have poor hygiene" Or "IT workers have poor social skills"

    How true: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4xOtyUgtZ8&t=0s :)

    It is worth mentioning that Matt Parker is Australian.

    A Sociologist, a Physicist and a Mathematician travel to a foreign country, and see two black sheep.

    The Sociologist claims: "All sheep are black in this country" The Physicist replies: "That is too general, you can only say 'there are at least two black sheep in this country'" The Mathematician counters: "Actually, that is still too general. you can only say 'there are at least two sheep, who are black on at least one side'"

    Apparently, I'm a Finn. Shame about the country I was actually born into, though.

    I'm so sick of people by this point, however, 3 meters might be on the low side.

    actually, every stereotype has its prototype:-\
