USA vs Canada – Colbert Launches ‘Don’t Be An Icehole’ Campaign

If you haven’t heard already, Stephen Colbert is starting the ‘Don’t Be An Icehole’ campaign against the Canadians, which in turn, has promoted Canadian based R&B Brewery Co to do something about it.

It all started because supposedly, the Canadians aren’t offering the Americans enough access to the Olympic rink to practice. Even after Colbert unleashed his wrath of wit on them (see video below), the Canadians claimed that they did allow the Americans access, but coincidentally, this happened to be at a time when the Americans were at the World Cup, qualifying for the Olympics. Here is what The Colbert Report had to say…

There’s a war brewing between The Colbert Nation and The Canadian Nation, also sometimes known as Canada. And it’s a struggle over one of the most important issues facing our generation: Speedskating.

But what can you do to help in the fight against Canada? For starters, you can donate to the US Speedskating team. And after that you can download and sign your name to this thoughtful and impassioned letter to Canada (link opens PDF).

Let them know we’re done being oppressed by their sticky, maple-syrup-stained hands.

If you’re not up to speed on all this, videos from the bloody back-and-forth can be found after the jump, and you can see an image of the despicable antics of some Canadians here.

The Colbert Report airs Monday through Thursday at 11:30pm / 10:30c.
