Is this a joke? Is this a comedy segment? I didnt think they ran comedy shows on Fox News.

Who are these ######s? How did they get jobs in journalism?

That was like watching Dane Cook comment on politics.

Painful.

Tongue in cheek or not, I found that too offensive to make it all the way through. I bailed when that stoner said "I didn't even know they (Canada) were in the war". Screw you buddy.

Yeah, clearly this wasn't to be taken seriously.

That being said, it was painfully unfunny.

Also, am I the only one who thought that the guy they 'sat-conferenced" in looked like Mr. Peepers?

One guy made a good point, however. Is it fair of us to ask them to continue to fight year after year after year without actually going after the head guys?

I did, however, want to electronically bitch slap that long haired fidgety guy.

"I didn't even know they were in the war." Yeah, it is offensive considering how many Canadian lives have been lost over there.

Why does Fox News even exist? It's like the TMZ of the broadcasting industry.

Because they stage stuff like this. Piss off an entire country, word quickly spreads. Suddenly, the site gets 10000x the web traffic, and revenues and ratings go up.

F integrity, right?

To counteract CNN, MSNBC, CBSnews, ABCnews, NBCnews etc etc etc.

Yes, this segment was out of taste but it exists for a reason.

Also, that segment isnt supposed to be a serious news segment. Its a joke/op-ed piece of time slot fillers.

Its rarely worth watching anyways - just filler.

So we are fighting in the war that started because people crashed plans into your buildings and we get made fun of in return? Nice. Get bent you five tools.

Although it was meant to be funny, it was quite revealing in how shallow minded the morons at Fox are. That is comedy for people with mental deficiencies and Republicans (same thing really).

The thing that bugs me....I turned it off after the comments about our police.....is that people see this and arent aware its a joke. There are people who see us this way. A nice jab at en "Eh?" or an igloo is fine....but when you start talking s*** about the people who protect us (policemen/women and our army) a HUGE line has been crossed. Just completely classless
