Above is a link to a video where comedian Jon Stewart rightfully mocks and humiliates a reporter, Rick Sanchez, for single handily increasing the "stupid American" stereotype. The video overall was one of the most hilarious things I have seen in a while, aside from a few things.

After watching video:

The reason why I felt that this "issue" had to be addressed is because the reporter makes some seriously insulting and stupid remarks which distracts the viewers from the topic and focus on his stupidity. The topic he was "trying" to discuss was the 8.8 Earthquake that hit Chile. Some people may not see this as an issue however, this earthquake was so massive that it SHOOK the entire country of Brazil. However, just to clarify how CRAZY this earthquake was, NASA Scientists believe that the Chilean earthquake likely shifted Earth’s Axis. Basically the earthquake was so massive that the world is about 1.26 microseconds shorter.

The reason why I chose to blog about this today is mainly for two reasons:

1.) It involved the "American Stereotype"
2.) The earthquake

Being a proud Canadian citizen, the world often has its stereotypes about countries. I personally dislike it when people who did not originate from North America to consider Americans and Canadians alike. Exactly for this specific case. People often believe that most Americans are like Rick Sanchez, which is obviously not true. The last thing I want for people to believe that Canadians are like Rick Sanchez. Also I fear for the Americans, as people already consider them to be a race of obese, ignorant people...like Homer Simpson. Since clearly Rick Sanchez is not helping remove that stereotype.

Thank you for reading :D
