Additionally, Canadians, you are really not a part of this particular show's target audience
HUH? So let me get this straight (as opposed to gay of course
) - it is okay to sneer like that as long as those you are sneering about may not be watching??
Ummm... Canadians have satellite reception too, you know. Even in Tuktoyaktuk.
And... the INTERNET. Surprising, I know. Imagine - such a pathetic country with a laughable military force that has apparently done nothing of consequence actually has modern technology!!
We keep bringing up "dead soldiers" as you put it (they are
such an inconvenience in this discussion
) as they happened to serve with the military that Greg & Co. found so unworthy and were so contemptuous of. Helping their allies.
As requested.
But it seems that Faux Gnus is allowed to say and do whatever they want - and there is no end to the excuses that make it all just peachy-keen.
That's really not what I meant, but it does seem like there's a group that goes out of its way to find things to be offended by. Like I said before, being surprised a show like that airs material that may be offensive to some is like being surprised the Jerry Springer Show is full of rednecks. But, whatever. I'm happy that I'm not offended by the show (I actually like it sometimes) and that I'm not upset by these threads
Wow
Jill - that's a pretty flip thing to say.
"A group" that goes out of its way to find things to be offended by?
Define that group as you see it. There's likely about 20 million of the poor pathetic creatures that you seem to have disdain for. This forum is but a teeny tiny sampling of what goes on Out There. And my friends and neighbours here - proud Americans - are also disgusted.
If you actually read any of my earlier posts, (I'll repeat myself) you should have noted that I said I watched Red Eye upon occasion. IF there is a somewhat interesting guest. Greg is rarely screamingly funny and usually just rather lame. I have never been offended by his boorish antics and fifth grade jokes (with apologies to fifth graders). I just consider the source. I have cringed a few times at things he has said that were a bit over the top. I have a warped sense of humour and laugh at stuff many people do not care for... but when Greg's smirking, smug panel started in on the military and demonstrated their arrogance amd ignorance - they crossed the line. I know they did not give a rip - but they dipped past lame satire and became offensive and insulting - and not in a
funny ha ha way. Unless, of course, those who gave their lives in service to their country AND ITS ALLIES tickle your funny bone.
By the way... flag-draped coffins have ALWAYS been shown in Canada.
They were never quietly kept from the public's view.
