How to lose friends and alienate countries

Not sure if any of you have seen this video, but it has caused an enormous uproar here in the great white north. The last couple a days this has been the topic of much heated debate (in the news and around the water cooler), especially since four of our own soldiers (out of 116 so far) were repatriated yesterday. Anywho, judge for yourself and feel free to post your thoughts. I found the whole shit-farce to be crass and insensitive, which is pretty much the consensus of the whole nation, mostly because there's one thing you don't do and that's mock the Canadian Military (you will earn a face full of fuck you for that faux pas). Our men and women in uniform are held in high regard up here.

I don't take any MSM info-tainment except TMZ, but I do know that FOX NEWS is comprised of pansy-ass dudes with abnormally large heads like John Gibson, Neil Cavuto, Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck and others who completely ignored Ron Paul until it was too late. I don't have any idea who those in the above clip are but they're all assholes so fukem all

Those people in that video are disgusting - I'm so sorry these idiots who shouldn't have any means to speak to the masses ripped into Canada.
I hope it is obvious to most people in the world that the assholes in that clip do NOT represent America nor even the average American.
Why do people even watch Fox news?

That's what has been so hurtful to so many of us Canookies. We have such a great love of our (sometimes noisy) neighbours to the south (afterall we share the world's longest unprotected border) and to have this shoved in our collective faces was so...
FWIW if it wasn't for YouTube I think 99% of the country wouldn't be aware of this incident. Thank you Al Gore for inventing the internet...
btw... in the interest of politics Mr Obama and Mrs Clinton (yes it reached that level) have made the most gracious of apologies for Fox dropping this on us so that's pretty cool....

Y'know, Canada could appeal to NATO command to have Fox broadcasts removed from the US armed forces media relay to troops in areas where NATO is operational.
And that would actually HURT Fox.

Hmm, I watch FOX news all the time and have never seen this show or this guy. Maybe it's a faked FOX news logo?

Ahh, never mind, it's a late night show on FOX. Doesn't every channel have a least a few bad shows?

I hear the show airs at 3am?
No wonder nobody knows who these dumbasses disguised as comedians are.
I've been told there are three rules to comedy: Tell the truth, don't be a bully, and don't be an asshole.
So.... don't worry 'bout us, we'll get over it. Afterall there are more pressing issues to deal with (white supremisists marching in the streets, British MPs being barred from the country, flooding in Manitoba, over-paid auto workers losing their jobs...) than a few late-night hosers and their holier than thou, dick in your face attitudes... right?
btw.. Gutfeld (or gutfuck as he's being called 'round here) has apologised.. half-heartedly... through a third party... and the dude who said he didn't even know Canada was in Afghanistan has had his upcoming shows in Edmonton cancelled. So there is a pot-o-gold at the end of the rainbow afterall...
to everybody...!!

Those people in the video are solely there for being seen. I can be almost certain they were throwing out those flippant generalizations to get attention on a risky concept. Sure enough... What's really retarded is the blond drone tries to nuetralize the comments made out across the table about making generalizations when she JUST finishes by bashing the whole country's culture for a military decision.
I just heard a slide whistle. *whoooooOOp!*
What's even more retarded is that it got in Obama's way for a couple of hours probably.
Who ever is watching Fox at 3am is probably doing it with the cheshire cat and a bag of paint chips.
Fuckin fox
