Just chill on the reaction. This guy does deserve to stub his toe on a landmine, but you can't throw all americans under the bus because of his ######bag "comedy".

definitely agree, but, i think there are a few of us on here that can certainly vouch for the fact that when travelling in ANY other foreign country, there is a LARGE gap b/w how americans are treated vs canadians.
their attitudes change immediatley when they find out you're canadian vs american.
i realize that most of that stems from ww1/2 etc etc...however, things like this certainly don't help.
i agree not all americans are tools, but the fact that they (and i use that loosely since it was a select few who did it, and not "all" americans) would even think for a second that this would be remotley hilarious definitely warrants several punches to the head(s).
so, i sort of have to half a$$ed agree with previous comment about americans wondering why everyone hates them.
as for equally dim canadians....i can think of a few PM's...just for starters...and can *sometimes* understand how americans could come to think canadians are dim.
luckily not all canadians are that dim either.
