Just because it’s delivered as ‘satire’ does not make it appropriate. We’re sick of fighting your pointless war, and backing up your red-neck, trigger happy, greedy sensibility as a country. You’re pathetic and getting worse by the minute. Have fun on the not so slow ride down the shitter.

Its all well and good that the canadian public is so offended by the statements of american comedians. These same people stayed away in droves, when Canadian comics have been trying to raise money to help the soldiers. Put your money were your mouth is Canada. Mike MacDonald, Erica Siguradson, and Andrew Grose played to almost empty houses on a recent string of shows for Troops families in Alberta. A Clip of Erica on Youtube, of Erica in Kandahar performing just after a missle attack on the base has less than 2000 hits where this garbage is the talk of the town.
Shame on us.

Ya’ll up yonder ain’t very well informed. The show is a humorous take on the news. Satire. Stand-comedy. Conversational ad libs. Purely humorous and never to be considered news. I tell ya what. If you do not want your feelings hurt, don’t watch it. Just go wait in line at the Dr and then the pharmacy and get you some socialized medicine to relax. Just jokes. Laugh, the world does. A maple leaf, WTF?

Fox News was the only amusement we had while we waited for my sister in law’s car to be serviced in Connecticut last November. In the time it took for an oil change I became so enraged found myself barking back at the TV. The reportage was so irresponsible and biased on simply the “news” part of their broadcast, that I don’t know why they bother with editorial shows later in the schedule.
