4. well, that was hilariously over the top
To be fair, people here were extremely pissed off too. I think the words 'cunt warts' were used.

9. Guilty as charged.

Yeah PP, that was me. My dad was in the Canadian Forces, and I lived on and off bases through my childhood. We lucked out, and he never was involved in any war-zone activity, but my heart goes out to the families of all service people, in both countries. In my rage, I concoted the rather abrassive neologism to which you refer. I feel a simultaneous shame and pride.

That Fox thing REALLY got to me.

5. For those who don't know, Tom Green's mother was an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces.
So it looked like he was being dead serious.

8. Yikes! I don't think I've ever seen anyone that pissed off.
Rude Pundit has some competition.

10. I felt the same way about it
and I'm not even Canadian. The show was full of twits acting like giggling teen-agers. And they were extremely condescending and insulting. Glenn Beck often has the same tone of frat-boy, 'I'm from an upper class', I'm smug because I'm a better bred, so I can make fun of you because you are so clueless you'll never get the joke, kind of laughing down at you, behavior. Yeah, fuck you Faux. Leave those Canadians alone!

19. Take a chill pill dude(ess)
I'm also Canadian and I can't believe you've never heard of him. Immaturity is his shtick. He's hit and miss with it for sure.

Anyways why are you embarrassed? I was as pissed about the denigration of our country and our troops on FAUX News as he was and he is only saying what many of us wish we could shout out over the internetz. He has at least a little more stature in the all important celebrity ladder than us lowly prols that this vid's message may just get back to someone at that shit hole shitty piece of shit network.

Whatever one's position on the Afghan adventure, its disgusting to piss on our troops like that. And to do it so ignorantly. Does Red Eye even know that Canadians are the second largest force there besides the US? And are in charge of the deadly Southern front? Did they realize that 4 soldiers were killed that very day they were mocking them? And did they realize that the only reason we went was to help fight for our good neighbors to the south to catch OBL? Tom is right that they would shit their pants (if they were dropped into a uniform onto the ground in Afghanistan).

And yes we can't hold a candle to the mighty US army. But you could compare ANY other nation's army to the bloated military budget of the US and make the same pointless argument. The US spends more of its tax dollars on the military than all other countries combined. Ten times what the next country down does (China). I think THAT is something to laugh about, in a sad black humor kind of way.

So yeah FUCK YOU Fox News you shit sucking piece of shit excuse for a network! :mad:

20. I'm seventy and don't connect with youth culture?
Maybe that explains why I haven't heard of him.

I say "fuck" myself but his vocabulary is kinda limited. I enjoy most Canadian comedy artists but he seems even stupider than the Fox twits.

As far as the Fox comments were concerned I went ballistick! I sent the YouTube to every politician in Canada, every newspaper, every TV station and e-mailed Fox. Angry as I was I was able to say more than "fuck" and "suck my dick".

My favourite TV shows are Stephen Colbert and The Daily Show. They are never infantile. Tom Green takes the cake for juvenile behaviour.
