This whole segment stems from the show poking fun at Canadians for deciding to jump out of fighting for one year. It may seem as especially hateful to those who have only seen this one clip, but this is how they treat every story they cover.

So it's satire to make fun of a military and saying 'I didn't even know they were in the war' when said country had 4 soldiers killed that week? Give me a fuckin break.

So... what I have gathered from this thread is that you (Jay) are upset because this show that you never watch is making fun of the Canadian military for doing something that a military really should never do (ie. run out of resources) and poking fun at a few ethnic stereotypes of Canadians while doing so. Because you are upset at this show you know nothing about, but feel that your countrymen and country have been specifically targeted for an extreme verbal lashing by them, you make hasty and emotional comments and cite lines from Wikipedia (I presonally find it hilarious that you imply that one cannot trust Fox News - but then cite Wikipedia articles that were probably edited by angry Canadians after this all came out)

You seem to be trying to make a point that I know nothing about this show, you assume a lot in your posts for someone who knows nothing about me.
Lets see the size of our military and the size of your military compared to the burden my military has taken in Afghanistan compared to your country who has forgotten about Afghanistan for how many years now? Oh it isn't just me who thinks Fox is bullshit news, ask any person with a quarter of a brain, they won't believe anything there, hmmm what did I just say there?

Also, the comment that now is the time to invade Canada is quite obviously satire. I don't see how you could actually be concerned that one lone actor (Who actually simply reads the teleprompter - yes, Greg's lines are mainly scripted, everyone else makes up their lines) would try to incite a war between the US and Canada. I think that Canada's reaction to this whole mess has vindicated his comment on Canada being a ridiculous country.

Ridiculous country you say? I'll keep my comments to myself on this one, they may get me in trouble, and you aren't worth getting in shit here over.

In short - I personally, am grateful for Canada's contribution to the military efforts in Afghanistan. I would not wish harm to any of the Canadian or US military personal overseas. I do not think less of Canadian soldiers because there are less of them than there are US soldiers. However, your views about Fox News are incorrect and your views about the show RedEye are skewed by 4 minute news clips. Yes, it is horrible that four Canadians died fighting for their country. I would not wish that on any soldier.

My views oin Fox News are incorrect? Hahaha you're fuckin hilarious, seriously that's funny shit right there. You drank the kool aid didn't you, poor soul all fucked up on Fox.

However, to actually believe that the words in that show are anything more than shock humor and stereotypical comments is ignorant. And, as you said in your opening post, you have people who talk about things they don't know.

Ignorant? Seriously you're calling me ignorant yet his comments are satire, you're pathetic. What don't I know about? That Fox is bullshit news generally watched by morons who are clueless to the world around them, see I know about Fox, but I suspect you're going to tell me how great and 'fair and balanced' Fox is.
Hey percy, we found the one to claim satire. Poor Fox viewers, not smarter than your average bear.
