How has peep manifested itself specifically in Canadian culture?
The great canadian peep icon is a quebec fellow known around the world as the star wars kid – he was the first person to have his private moments sent around the world and turned into mass amusement for all. Canada also has the highest percentage of Facebook users per capita in the world. we are very into peep which makes sense since we live in a very beuracratic atomized society dominated by big urban communities and cars. We like to thing we’re a rural small-town type country but that’s just a myth. The reality is that peep is very prevalent in Canada. Ah! Considering Canada has the highest percentage of FB users per capita, what does this say about modern Canadian culture? Is this a reaction to being Americanized, globalized, or something else? I don’t think it’s a reaction – it’s just the reality of Canada as a highly mechanized, atomized, postmodern culture vs. the myth of Canada as a caring small town nestled in mountains amongst the natural elements. *** For more cultural critiq
