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.
It's true that maybe Canadians are more well treated or respected in other countries but regarding this incident with Fox I know it's pissing Americans off too, so like others have said we can't label the country over a couple of second rate comedians.
