Uploaded by: HomelandStupidity
Video Description:
Produced by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Department of State in partnership with Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, this brilliant propaganda piece plays in international airport arrival areas while foreign visitors wait to run the Customs gauntlet, getting fingerprinted, searched and verbally abused by agents of our oh-so-welcoming Government.

America is not ... ( 8 months ago by icomco)
America is not perfect, but for that matter no country is. I think America is a great place not because we are perfect but because we realize we are not yet strive to be. I think most will concede that we do not hold a patent on this ideal, but we do hold it close in our hearts. (sorry, 500 char limit)
WTF do waterfalls ... ( 8 months ago by klpeekl2000)
WTF do waterfalls have anything to do with Oil. They are just waterfalls. Look I have one in my backyard, big deal.
Cronerd, How would ... ( 8 months ago by alchemistkimmycat)
Cronerd, How would you feel if we made a video called Portraits of Canada and shot beautiful footage of America and put it in our video and tried to pass it off as our country? The reason people are angry is because there are 3 parts to Niagra falls and two of them lay in the US. They aren't the famous horseshoe falls but they are quite lovely. To shoot the one waterfall in Canada while standing in Canada to shoot it...Isn't that kind of an insult to both our countries?
I hate the fact ... ( 8 months ago by buckyball757)
I hate the fact that America thinks they can get away with anything, like for example "mistaking" the Canadian falls for American.
And American beer is soft.
propaganda piece?! ... ( 8 months ago by kbr7171)
propaganda piece?! what propaganda is it espousing? to me it looks like a video of people and places (aside from the specific area of niagra falls) in this country that make it a nice place to visit.

where and when did you receive your anal probe?

EVERYONE knows who got the best view side of the falls, let them make themselves look bad LOL
They are just jelous, lol and with good right LMAO

Dear citizens of ... ( 7 months ago by alorindanya)
Dear citizens of Canada, the world doesn't care what side of the Niagra Falls are shown. They probably don't even know Niagra Falls is part of Canada. I didn't until seeing this debate. So please don't make yourselves look arrogant for other people's poor education on the subject. You can be more respectful and state facts rather than making insulting remarks.
Yes, but other ... ( 7 months ago by alorindanya)
Yes, but other Canadians weren't explaining it, they were just complaining and insulting Americans. There is a difference. Besides, this isn't the forum to make such comments to begin with. If you have a problem with it, contact the Amercian Embassy in Canada. We can't do anything about it, we are just regular people.
This is the forum ... ( 7 months ago by alchemistkimmycat)
This is the forum to make such comments, as I do have a right to free speech, just not exclusively. It is sad too that you feel that you can't do anything because you're just "regular people." Maybe a regular person can't but people en masse can. I don't think the American embassy cares about the complaints of Canadians, the better response would come if Americans got together and said "Hey, our country is beautiful and we don't need to show Canada and pretend it's ours to showcase our country
I think it's nice. ... ( 7 months ago by habitatgal)
I think it's nice. I've lived abroad in three different countries other than the U.S. and have never been welcomed or shown a video like this. You can complain all you want but it's a nice thought and first impressions do matter. People might feel welcomed by this and if so, then it is a positive thing. Relax!

The US actually IS 60% cowboys and country folk. Suburbs are 'not' city life. Most people that live in cities weren't born there. The US is a LONG way from being a country of mostly 'city-folk.' They just happen to run our media. America wants to appear as an urban country to the world, but that isn't our only face, nor our largest one.
Actually it is just ... ( 7 months ago by lakeacid)
Actually it is just american's who think the falls aren't Canadian (by the IS part of canada? nice grammar. hahaha) You guys are so under educated (and it is not your faults) but the point is. It is only the ignorant in the US that think the Falls are American. Annexation by ignorance. Nice try
Why would anyone ... ( 7 months ago by alorindanya)
Why would anyone put a negative to this comment. I can't believe how disrespectful people are in this thread, especially to a post that is trying to be positive amongst all this bickering.

When in Seattle my Canadian friends were asked to pose for this video. Those friendly faces you see are Canadians. Hehe.

I'd just like everyone to notice that it's 44 seconds before an African American appears. I'm just sayin'.

Let's see. 12.8% of the American population is African American. The video is 440 seconds long and the video is just 10% through when the first African American appears. There is 337 seconds of people time. The actual airtime devoted to African Americans in the 337 seconds featuring people is 43 seconds. 12.8% of the movie. The time devoted to muslims is double that devoted to Fire-Fighters. I'm just sayin'
Everyone knows that ... ( 4 months ago by drevil0921)
Everyone knows that there are more Muslims than firefighters. I thought that was common knowledge.
What a propaganda! ... ( 4 months ago by oldtruck89)
What a propaganda! But you know what? I love it; I can't wait until I will finally be able to go to the US myself. There are so many beautiful spots to discover. Granted, every country has its bad sides, but there are plenty of good things too...

You're right, xhancock. I prefer the city now that I am older, but I grew up across the road from a big ol' corn field! And when I drive back to my hometown, I pass all kinds of country life. Just miles and miles of it sometimes. Haha, could you imagine plain folk doing the news? That would be refreshingly honest!!!
