The rest of the West does not consider it a burning offence or even really a notable event to be an athiest.

Persecution complex. I have lived in the Bible Belt, the mid-west, the East coast, the West coast, and the Intermountain West and I have never at any time noted an Atheist treated disrespectfully. There are no atheist lynchings, beatings, or anything of the sort.

The existence of religious people is not 'pesecution' of atheism. I think it is high time the 'atheist movement' got over itself.

That'd be Ed Herlihy, newsreel voiceover guy extraordinaire. He narrates these ones too:

lyrics, from yt...

Lyrics:

RM: This was a pretty remarkable week on the gay marriage front
First of all, to have a state like Iowa
MG: Whatchoo tryna say about Iowa
RM: Not the east coast state
MG: East coast
RM: Not the left coast state
MG: Left coast
RM: In a decision written by a republican appointee
MG: shawty, now you sounding so fine
Give me your number, we can bump and grind
Talkin about politics all night
Leavin the club in the mornin light
If we get carred away
We might get gay-married today

KC: We just heard from some of our viewers who strongly support legalizing marijuana
MG: Shawty, 5 of those calls was from me
KC: Do you think we should legalize pot alone or all drugs, including heroine, cocaine, and meth?
MG: My brain says no, but my body says yes!

AG: I'm an angry gorilla. I heard you needed me (ooh ooh ah ah)
SH: Now that Captain Phillips has been successfully rescued
The president has decided to step in front of the spotlight
AG: Ooh, I'm angry! You can't see it, but my forehead's veiny
SH: And even take some credit for the rescue
AG: Well, don't you worry, baby boo
You'll always have an angry gorilla to be angry with you
That's what I do. Just ask Donkey Kong. He's in my crew

KC: At the North Pole, new satellite photos show arctic ice is melting so fast
AG: Oh snap, how fast?
KC: Many scientists now believe it will be gone within 30 years
AG: Surely you jest! I'm under cardiac arrest, shawty
KC: Some researchers think it could disappear in just six
AG: Shit!
KC: Without it there could be a snowball effect
AG: Oh
KC: With temperatures rising even faster
If we all don't take bold action and take it fast
AG: Yeah,
Both: We will find ourselves on very thin ice

MG: Tell em, Hillary, pirates on very thin ice
HC: These pirates are criminals
They are armed gangs on the sea
MG: That means the ocean
HC: The United States does not make concessions
Or ransom payments to pirates

...

MG: Hello, shawty, we can meet up at the mall
Browse around at the bookstore
Mentally ball until we fall

A little help please and thanks.

There sure are a lot of serious stories here, but I think I'll contribute a slightly amusing/too-much-information one, ala Blankfist.

A few weeks ago my girlfriend was visiting for Spring break (she goes to school on the West coast, I go to school on the East coast), and I took her to play a game of Kings with a group of my friends. We play with a different set of rules from those listed in the WikiPedia article, but overall it's pretty much the same game. In any case, one of the cards meant a game of "Never Have I Ever," where you all put up a certain number of fingers (in this case, three) and people take turns saying something they've never done before. If you've done it, you put a finger down, and the first person to run out of fingers loses and has to take a drink.

In any case, as you would guess from drunken college students, many of the things people had never done were sexual in nature, as a way to humorously embarrass the people around you. The group was pretty well-mixed, with almost as many girls as guys. Eventually somebody said "Never have I ever done 69," and my girlfriend and I both had to drop a finger. We were the only ones in the entire room to do so, something that everyone noticed rather quickly.

Later highlights from that game included someone pulling a Jack and making the rule that you had to say "in JAPR's ass" at the end of every phrase or sentence or you had to take a drink, which made the game both awkward and hilarious for me. This was further compounded by my girlfriend pulling a Jack and making the rule that "any time you say 'in JAPR's ass, you have to make an inserting motion.'" The motions made for the next ten minutes of the game got pretty creative. I suspect this may have been a little bit of revenge on her part for embarrassment she felt during the games of Never Have I Ever.

What he's trying to say is that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, and plans to use them. They have rockets that can reach the east coast of the United States in 60 minutes.

I do "Sweat" it. I don't see anybody stereotyping American's in the comments except for the odd person saying "And americans wonder why people hate them"

To me, this is nothing like the daily show. The daily show focuses on idiotic things that diplomats are doing, and makes fun of them. Not once have I ever seen the daily show mock and stereotype a full nation.
And, if they did, Jon Stewart is able to pull it off while being noticeably sarcastic. The fact that you had to actually tell us that these guys aren't serious (And even then, i'm still not fully convinced) speaks for itself about this show.

And also, in my opinion, you're selling Americans short, I know a lot of people from all over the states that aren't nearly as ignorant as these buffoons come off as.

Bottom line is, things that could be taken as this offensive from anybody, shouldn't have been aired as a topic.

Open letter to Canadians,
This show, Red Eye, airs in the wee hours of the morning, something like 3:00am for the East Coast. It's basically Fox News' version of the Daily Show, only with much worse writing and largely not funny. This show holds no credibility with almost any American, even the crazy right-wing neocons. This episode was taking cheap shots at Canada that Americans like to chuckle at every once in a while, largely because most of us know next-to-nothing about your country. I know Canadians do the same to Americans on many occasions; view some of the comments on this video for examples.
Bottom line: Only the worst of the worst would be taking the views from this show to heart and believe them credible. Please don't sweat it.
Thanks.

I like the music, and second the hating of east coast conditions.

let us all in the west have a collective moment of silence of the tragicly shitty snow that the east coast gets.

damn I would kill for some powder like that. East coast conditions (America) suck

Wow. East Coast Rap rules!

The white supremacist groups on the east coast are considered domestic terrorist organizations. Any group that was supremacist, was categorized as a domestic terrorist group. Even the environmentalist groups.
