Greenland - Fact or Fiction?




There has been some discussion over at Humor Bloggers.com about the Internet habits of the natives of Greenland, specifically whether they enjoy humor blogs. Rather then looking into the extent of the current Greenland fiber optic cable network, and if it is in fact restricting Greenlanders from enjoying the bounty of the Internet, I ask the question - does in fact Greenland even exist?

Pause for a moment to consider.....

Do you know anyone from Greenland? Perhaps you work with a former Greenlandite? No? Hmm I've talked to my parole officer and he has not known any Greenlanders to have used his services before. Oh and the hot dog vendor on the street corner - after he told me to go F@$%^ myself, stated that he does not believe that any natives of Greenland have bought his hot dogs.

Ok so what does this informal survey prove? Not a lot really - but it raises the question if in fact there even is a Greenland.

Let's look at the evidence.

No one has ever met anyone from Greenland

No one from Greenland has come to my blog - as per Google Analytics

Hot Dog Vendor guy has never knowingly sold his product to a Greenlander

And the country is covered in Ice and Snow

I'm from Canada and we have 10 months of winter and 2 months of bad skiing, but even we have Internet access and we use this technology to surf porn and buy Cheesie Snacks in the shape of Jesus - Ahh technology it's a wonderful thing.

The conspiracy theorists amongst us state that the moon landing was faked - if they can fake that - how hard would it be to make an imaginary country full of ice and snow?

Look at their flag



Does it look like any real thought went into that? Or did the marketing department at Warner Brothers simply have a deadline to meet?



If the people of Greenland get this message - please let me know that

a) Greenland is a valid country and not something dreamed up on a Hollywood backlot somewhere

b) you have Internet Access

c) you have indoor plumbing

An anxious world awaits your response.

Lol. Excellent entry today. I still think that Greenland exist but perhaps only to them. I'll be Iceland has internet. Although, whose had visits from them?

I have flown over Greenland a few times so it does exist... Unless the pilot had diverted the flight just to make us think we flying over it... I feel a conspiracy coming on.

I think that your pilot is simply a small part in a much larger conspiracy. You where probably flying over the Walmart parking lot in St John's

I can happily state that I am gearing towards my tenth visitor from Greenland and irrespective of your post, I can vouch for its authenticity as a nation.

However, its flag does blow, that much is true. They do need a better flag. I'm thinking of one with with tits on it. Cuz that would totally rule.
