Seriously , this is a news station? Way to get the facts right. I realize this a "comedy" but man, wtf.
Yeah the Mounties do really wear red, but as a tradtional piece of uniform. Like the guys posted outside Buckingham Palace with the big furry hats and such. PS, Buckingham Palace is in England, in case you did not know. As for the mounties horses, those are tradional too.. i could have swore though, there are entire platoons of cops in the US on horse back? The RCMP have been serving in Afghanistan , along side the army there:

What a time to invade Canada, they have no army... yep what a time. No army here.. i guess these guys they just flew back home were over "pretending" to fight...

As for deserting, ya Americans have done it. I have a family member who came during the Vietnam War. But things are changing with the times it seems :

As for Russia attacking Canada, well, there never really has been a reason too. In fact they come and play hockey with in Canada. But i mean really, Canada being a real warmonger, everyone wants a piece of it... (sarcasm)...
Call this a comedy, satire or whatever, it is just fail. Yes both countries poke fun at each other, but sometimes, somethings should be left out.
I'm am sure most Americans here are going to forum gank me for this , because, really , who cares A-BOOT Canada eh?

I too get tired of the ignorance in our country. Not only about other countries but about our own troops as well. I too am disgusted and I am an American. Many other nations are shedding their blood along with ours right now, and I think that people are all too comfortable in their own little worlds to realize the reality of this.
So many, and I know not just in this country, because I have heard comments from other countries as well, do not realize the true sacrifice all of our soldiers, in all of the countries that are fighting side by side right now truely give. It is a disgraceful show of ignorance and disrespect, and I honestly for a stupid comment like that he should lose his job. Now if he did not write the material, whoever did should lose their job, and whoever apporved the comment to go on air They disgrace the airwaves by allowing such a stupid comment to be aired.
Yeah was all over the news, words couldn't describe how pissed I got but that's just how some Americans act towards us. Schools don't teach them anything about Canada but assume they know everything about us (eh)
Not to mention it was the wosrt timing considering 4 Canadian soldier were killed helping to US in THERE war. Gotta love this world though (Eh?)
Just know that the ignorant do not speak for us who have family serving and dying alongside yours. Our families bleed the same blood on the battlefield. And many of us here in the US are very thankful for our Canadian neighbors. I have heard stupid comments from people in other countries as well, I think stupidity knows no borders. The key issue here is respect, honor, and responisibility. So many in this world do not know the meaning of it.
I hear ya... I hope those 4 on that panel represent the .0000X% amount of ignorance that somehow slip though the cracks and represent an entire country, community etc. I know that is the case and do not blame Americans in general, just those 4 douches. Sorta like Darkfall representing MMO's....
I guess this was their attempt at some sort of comedy. I think they should really filter some of the material through more then 1 or 2 people before it gets the go ahead to go to air. I honestly did not find anything they said funny and my sense of humor is pretty damn liberal. If I was in their shoes I wouldn't have done that material be it making fun of Canada (my current home), the USA, or any other country for that matter.
It's just bad taste by a bunch of people who work for FOX.... enough said.
No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-
I just wrote Fox demanding the resignation for those parties responsible for allowing that to air. I suggest everyone else do the same.
www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,77538,00.html or you can call 1-888-369-4762 to let them know how insulting this was.
That was a disgrace to all of our troops, all of our military familes who are sharing the same blood bath on the battle field as we speak.
They're actually in a lot of hot water right now so I think I feel a little better knowing that they get what they deserve. The comedian had to cancel his trip to Canada in fear of being attacked. The video being posted on youtube just made the comments worse though.
I refuse to watch any other news channel but FOX. Every news station says stupid stuff at one point or another.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guys! I'm hopelessly lost in a mountain of mole hills! Them damn moles!
I like alot of fox's programming, I don't watch alot of TV, but I like alot of what Fox does. I am genuinely offended at the comments and it was insult not only to Canadians, but to our soldiers that are serving alongside our Canadian allies right now.
That was beyond poor judgement and bad taste.
The Daily Show
The Colbert Report
There, now you can all shut the hell up...Red Eye is the same thing, not that I watch it, I don't think it's very funny at all, but it's the same concept. Both the Daily Show and the Colbert Report say equally if not MORE offensive things on a daily basis...hmm, I wonder why?
Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.
I don't watch them either ,,, show me them saying something this insulting to our military families and I will write them a letter as well.
I watch them both and I've never seen them make fun of Canada to this extent. Hell they air the show on Canadian channels for gods sake.
Ok it is not a pure FOX bashing post.. if NBC, CBC, BBC or whoever aired these tools, i'd be all over that station.
Canada became a Confederation in 1867. 55 years after the so called "War" of 1812. Therefore, that war had the US fight the British. Canada is still a commonwealth of the British Empire... I am not sure what this war or burning the WH had to do witth the post....?
I used the ratings slip as a forum title, because i honestly could not think of any other reason to use this crap on tv... even at 3 am...
John Stewert and Stephen Colbert make fun of their own country. They don't belittle other countries and proclaim that America is the "Greatest country in the Universe".
Fox news is full of ignorant stuck-up assholes. They believe that because they are Americans that they are above everyone else in the world. America is far from the best country in the world in my book.
Fox news is probably one of the bigger reasons so many people around the world hate Americans. Who can blame them when they see talking heads like Bill O'reilly telling everyone how lucky they are that America is here.
Fox news consistantly wins damn near every poll for the most biased news network.

If they spent their time belittling your boy Obama rather than harping on every Republican who so much as farts at an inappropriate time would you feel differently?
If Colbert was saracstic about being a liberal, instead of acting like an insanely over the top conservative, would you think that it was all just in good fun and that he is at least making fun of his own country? of course you wouldn't...because there is no real different between the two, it's ONLY because it's FOX, and it's ONLY because you are a hypocrite.

One is on a "News" network who's motto is "Fair & Balanced".
The other 2 are on Comedy Central..........put that Redeye show on Comedy Central and no one would have batted an eye. The show would be cancelled due to low ratings, but it wouldn't have been a major thing.

O please Fox is no more and imo much less bias then CNN or MSNBC. CNN might as well be called the clinton news network. They always put liberal spins on anything they report and have no problem nit picking over anything republicans do but its a big outcry if fox or a republican calls out a democrat for anything.

it is a show on a news network at a ridiculous hour when not many people are watching aimed at giving people some cheap entertainment when they're up late at night...It's not a NEWS SHOW, it's a show on a news network...if you really can't understand the distinction then I guess we're not going to get anywhere anyway.

Im not woried about Red Eye's stupid joke. Honestly if that is the only thing that pissed you off about the show then you dont watch it.
If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude; greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
Samuel Adams
I'll admit I didn't read anyone's comments but I'm guessing everyone is saying how much America sucks and such. I agree that these comments (in the video) were uncalled for. However, fuck that lady who said "I think its pretty insensitive... of the, of the AMERICANS to say something like that." Last time I checked, I didn't say anything bad about Canada. Why does this lady feel the need to lump us all together as if we are one collective mind?
/rantoff
Granted she may not have ment all Americans in her comment but she definitly didn't care to specify.
I love Canada
Easy to love, hard to forget.

Maybe you should, you know, go try watching these shows instead of talking out of your ass. If you did, you'd realize that they DO in fact make fun of Obama and point out his mistakes... quite a lot actually. But it's easier for you to be a flaming FOX fanboi it seems.
As for Canadians, as long as they drink milk from a bag, I will question their sanity. If you can't even drink milk right...
We need more shows like this, that way everyone will get all the whining out of their system and we can be free to have programming where writers don't stop and ask "golly gee who is going to cry over this JOKE?" I don't think they made fun of anyone who died.
If jokes get you this up-in-arms, then I feel sorry for you. Irreverent humor is all we have left, don't know about anyone else, but a pie in the face isn't as funny as it was in the 1890's.

You're the one talking out of your ass, I've probably watched more of the Daily Show and The Colbert report individually than I have Fox news.
I used to watch the Colbert Report every day while waiting for Scrubs to come on, not because I enjoy the show but because there was nothing else on...and I watched the Daily show almost every night after Scrubs while waiting for Family Guy to come on a different channel...I know the shows, I'm very familiar with their style, delivery, and subject matter...It's not a matter of being a flaming fox fanboy, it's a matter of not being a complete hypocrite...if you're going to watch those shows and say nothing about the shit that they say, then you have NO right to scream and cry when FOX does something similar...they don't pretend that Red Eye is a serious show that people should get their news from, just like the Daily Show and the Colbert Report don't either.

I wasn't angry or anything about all the comment those guys said on fox news. I loled pretty hard at the american stupidity. Or should I say, I loled AGAIN at their stupidity. Like when I heard a huge population inside that contry don't even beleive in evolution you can only find what they say funny... and ridiculous.
I do beleive americans don't care about much but themselves anyway so..
They beleive they are #1 in everything. A dude the other days was telling us how better his country was because he had HD tv and not us.. when HD TV is now worldwide? When they are already talking about 3D TV here? DAWG they pass 700 billion bill every year and don'T plan on paying more tax? They are up for a hard truth.
Anyway.. some of them are cool.
edit: Like Bobby Lee when he eat tooth paste. That was funny.
