Why did my ancestors cross the pond? Why, oh why?
All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Very strange seeing Adam smiling and Clem without the floppy skin.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's not eBay doing it, that's a seller on eBay.

I know, but they're operating under the warm, fuzzy blanket of ebay

I dunno, Penny. They seem to be acting like a mall owner, not the bad guys themselves.
EBay spokesman Kevin Pursglove said CompAtlanta was the only eBay merchant he knew of that is boycotting buyers for reasons related to the war. He said sellers can decide with whom they want to do business, but eBay frowns on posting overtly political messages. Pursglove said eBay ordered CompAtlanta to remove the auction item and to modify its message to bidders from Canada, Mexico, France and Germany.
Sure, that's not the most effective thing to do, but I don't see eBay as being at fault.

OKAY, FINE! BE REASONABLE WHEN YOU COULD BE OUT HELPING ME KICK SOMEONE'S ASS.
Okay, maybe I'm overreaacting, but I think Ebay should brand that jerk on the shoulder with an "A" for asshole. I'm so fucking sick of U.S. interests threatening economic ruin to Canada every few months.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
And some eBay vendors selling such items as Saddam Hussein "terrorist hunting licenses"
This, squicks me. I dun like it.
