The Colbert Canton debacle TV - Colbert Report
Whether you've been following the whole saga or not, this is hilarious. While reporting on some story, Stephen Colbert clarified he was talking about the city of Canton, Ohio and not "crappy" Canton, Georgia. There was a news report that followed a day or two later of appalled Canton, Georgia residents that found his comments offensive.

So he apologized, but the went on to call Canton, Kansas a shithole (it was bleeped, of course). As expected, they had a news story about those residents being upset, so he apologized and called Canton, South Dakota "America's assberg" and the ashtray of North Dakota. Which brings us to the latest video, in which he apologizes again, and then calls Canton, TX an unincorporated outhouse.

Apologies if these videos only work in the US!

      I especially love the "sincerity" of his apologies. And the reactions from the South Dakota Canton were hilarious.
