NBC Confuses Terry Fox for Michael J. Fox

WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN

I have no idea how well known Terry Fox is outside of Canada (feel free to educate me on this), but holy man. Seriously, my feeling watching this clip is OH NO YOU DID NOT JUST

Especially because, according to Wikipedia, At the 2010 Winter Olympics, a Terry Fox Award will be awarded to an Olympic athlete who embodies Fox's characteristics of determination and humility in the face of adversity. El. Oh. El.

I enjoy how my patriotic pride comes out in small and angry bursts, but SERIOUSLY.

HE IS THE SECOND GREATEST CANADIAN.

TRY HARDER.

I mean Michael J. Fox you know I love you but seriously.

Seriously.

That's pretty terrible, but...

I have to admit, I had never heard of Terry Fox until I got to Canada. It's possible that people in the States who were cognizant at the time might know who he was, but people our age? I sincerely doubt it. (I was completely lost the first time the Terry Fox Run came up. Sorry. >.>)

According to Wikipedia, the Terry Fox Run is held in at least one place in the United States. I wonder where ...

I don't think it's anywhere near me, but it's probably somewhere amongst us Northern States, so it could be. My bets would be New York or Oregon.
