Canada demands Fox apology for 'despicable' comments

[king2005]

Needless to say, my boyfriend & I are beyond pissed!!!
How could they be so cruel & heartless?

If that happened ehere, they would have been fired on the spot!!

I can understand making fun of Canada or their mounties dress uniforms, but to do it on worldwide TV is just dumb.

ETA: Especially when their military is involved with OUR war on terrorism.

Why is it Fox is allways identified as a conservative network but ABC, NBC, MSNBC and CBS never get called on their liberal slant and bias?

RICHARD - ROFL!!!!

Awww...I was looking forward to getting a bunch of those as I am on a real health kick right now...

Woah dude... Take a step back for a sec. What was said is wrong. But I have overheard PLENTY of idle chat from Canuckians saying the most horrible things about the US. Some of it deserved, perhaps, most of it not.

But before you go all "three angry faces", look in the mirror. This bullcrap goes both ways.

And really? Commentators get fired in Canada for saying controversial things? Isn't that their job?

Pucky is just at it again. He's always trying to get a rise out of someone. He can't help himself. Don't take him seriously.

oh I know.. thats why I said what I said
Thanks though

LOL....

So let me get this straight.... If YOU say something controversial, I am not allowed to retort becuse you see that as "picking a fight"?

I reckon I should not be surprised. Oh well.

I didn't see Puck as trying to start a fight here personally, and I think he has a point. What these idiots on TV said was stupid and ignorant, they deserve to have to apologize publicly and face the derision they are now receiving, but getting worked up into a vein-popping fury over it doesn't do anything but raise your own blood pressure. People say stupid and stereotypical things about other countries constantly, it is not limited to the U.S. I have heard many insults and stereotypes slung around about Americans as well. For this guy, the timing of his idiocy couldn't have been worse. But the way I see it, you blow him off as a jerk and not representative of the nation as a whole and go on with life.

My 2 cents.
