I think you are reading too much into stock photography. I don't really think they are trying to imply anything other than being a little silly.

Look, bub, they've got ketchup chips, poutine, canadian tuxedos, business meetings about the maple syrup reserve... are you gonna complain about the anatomical inaccuracy of the moose, too?

Otoh...

I'm not really sure why this got posted to HN... it's just a dumb joke. My gf sent me this gallery of butt-shaped mushrooms... are we posting those here now?

edit: come on folks, I'm not posting that here, you know how to search the internet

Maybe it was just chance, or maybe it was intentional. I'm ok with it regardless.

It's called oversteering. You sometimes do it when you've been on a crash course you're trying to get out of :)

Sounds like you need to have a puppers and simmer down, bud.

I've heard the documentary Trailer Park Boys also presents a somewhat distorted view of rural Canadia. Is that true?

Yeah, in my experience, the Red Green show is more accurate
