Perhaps, but some people still say it like "he has the cancer."

I have another question, why do people call it "The jizz" instead of "jizz"?

The irony of guns, is that they can save lives.

on a related note for some reason the country of Gambia is always refered to as the The Gambia

Probably because the country is strongly associated with the eponymous river, basically only consisting of the lower half of it with a bit of river bank on both sides.

Y'see the kids, they listen to the rap music which gives them the brain damage. With their hippin' and the hoppin' and the bippin' and the boppin'- so they don't know what the jazz... is all about. Y'see? Jazz is like... jello pudding pop- no! Actually it's more like Kodak film- no! Actually jazz is like the new Coke. It'll be around forever.
