Why Are Canadians So GODDAM Thin-Skinned?

[hooplala]

So, Colbert is mocking Canadians, as his ultra right-wing persona certainly would... and you would think that most people are in on the joke by this point, but apparently not.  Canada likes to pretend it has the best sense of humor in the world, but just point a joke toward us and we curl up in the corner and weep.  Sad sad sad.

from the article:

Many Canadians, though, have been put off by Colbert's frequent mockery. As a pseudo pundit, Colbert likes to elevate the U.S. above all other countries, making the Olympics - which he calls a combination "talent popularity-contest war" - prime fodder for parodic patriotism.

He has called Canadians "syrup-suckers," "Saskatche-whiners," and said Canadian history is a euphemism for a sex act so depraved, he can't say it on TV.

Colbert still jokes that he's going to Vancouver to find out "What is Canada? Or more importantly, why is Canada?"

the article gives an example of two of people saying they like him, but then only say that 'many canadians are put off by...[his] mockery'.
