    The real comedy is watching so many people freaking out over something said by irrelevant people on an irrelevant show aired at 3am.


    Also, I pretty much feel exactly how Arnson feels.

    And if you are going to be upset, be upset with the people on the show not an entire country.

    I bet if we looked we could find some rude and ill humor Canadian comedy or news footage regarding the US in a similar fashion but the difference is we don't care what the hell you guys say or do.


    I would venture to say alot of Americans don't even consider Canada a real country, just our crazy northern neighbors who say EH and ABOOT, but I don't want PDOG to smash his keyboard in rage. OMG IM JUST KIDDING DONT HATE MY COUNTRY BECAUSE I MADE FUN OF SOMETHING!

    I also find it funny how people are lashing out at the entire US, and thus being totally hypocritical.

    I would never mock the death of military personnel or the efforts of the men out there at war, but if you watched the clip and you can't understand how ridiculous it is that Canada is essentially pulling out for a year to repair their tanks because they can't maintain their upkeep that's a little out of control.

    Association and representation goes a long way. I remember joining XoO and whenever I got in a tiff with someone outside of our Outfit in PS, I would hear about it from an officer because I was "representing our guild and it gives us a bad name when a member acts out of conduct". Yeah, it was *me* who was saying it, and I was in no way speaking for all of XoO, but that is how others see it.

    Same with this. It may be some retard comedian on a 3am...But he is speaking *on* a national news station, representing that station. Fox being as large as it is, one can consider him representing the U.S. That's like someone on the CBC saying something...The CBC is so large here, one can consider him representing *our* voice.

    I would venture to say alot of Americans don't even consider Canada a real country, just our crazy northern neighbors who say EH and ABOOT. It's this opinion that I think frustrates me the most, because it's actually true. MOST American's *don't* give Canada a second look. But they don't realize how valuable we are to your entire wellbeing as a nation, and how much of an impact we have had over the years for you. Or do I need to bring up World War 2 again? All most Americans think is "Oh, Canada...What have they ever done?" If you took 5 minutes to look up a few things, you'd realize how much we have.

    I personally never understood the whole "I'm part of this nation" pride/patriotism crap. Look at me I'm better than you because I live here. Who gives a fuck. Unless you chose to live where you are at then its just another justification you are giving yourself as to why you are stuck in a shitty situation or one that completely blows and you are lying to yourself.

    As for the "you are representing your country so you stand for all of it" crap... You chose to join XoO and so did everyone else in it. So yes you do represent XoO. Mostly because you can get kicked out so you do represent us as a whole through your actions. We didn't choose to live in the US or you in Canada and no we can't kick out the idiots, so no I wouldn't vouch for the idiots that live here or say that they represent my views. Comparing a nation to a video game guild is just stupid.

    well, the problem is that its a comedy show on a 24 hour news network.... though i didn't realize it was supposed to be comedy. once again, Fox has shown how the minority of us feel and others take their 3am antics as our beliefs

    I think they were right about one thing...and I know the communist will agree with me...MOTHER RUSSIA WILL RISE AGAIN!

    This is just the classic American insecurity coming out. Let's make fun of someone else because we are insecure about ourselves.

    Not to say that Canadians aren't insecure either. We just use self-deprecation, which I would argue is the better way.

    isn't the stereotyping that the canadians are doing here about americans just as bad as what that show did? kinda hypocritical if you ask me.

    It's not a stereotype if it's true.

    Stephen Harper (the prime minister, since most people probably don't know his name) offers you a kitten.

    he's high on maple syrup... Canada got their apology from an idiot network that doesn't actually represent the people in the US, if its not enough, then i suggest taking it up with them and not the people that don't even watch Fox
